When we discuss Chinese civilization, the Yellow River is an inseparable part of the conversation. Now, a Henan Yellow River cultural tour across time and space is waiting for you. According to the newly released "Construction Plan for the World-Class Tourist Destination of the Yellow River Ancient Capitals Cluster (2025-2035)," over the next decade, four major ancient capitals in Henan—Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, Luoyang, and Anyang—will be linked together, offering you an exploration experience spanning three thousand years of civilization.

On this journey, you can start from Zhengzhou, experiencing the vigor of Shaolin Kung Fu in the "Land of the Center of Heaven and Earth" and visiting the ancient city walls of the Shang Dynasty ruins. Heading east, you'll arrive in Kaifeng. This "Ancient Capital by the Hanging Yellow River" will transport you back to the grandeur of the Eastern Capital, Dongjing, allowing you to experience the bustling prosperity and vibrant atmosphere of the Song Dynasty at the Millennium City Park.

Continuing westward, you reach Luoyang. As you wander through Luoyang city, you can traverse the splendor of the Tang Dynasty, admire the compassionate visage of the Vairocana Buddha at Longmen Grottoes, or encounter the elegant beauty of peonies in April. Heading north to Anyang, you'll encounter a dialogue with the "Earliest China." Exploring the Yin Ruins, you will see through the engraved marks on oracle bones the initial forms of Chinese writing and feel the profound weight of the Yin-Shang civilization.

According to the plan, by 2035, this Yellow River Ancient Capitals Cluster, covering a total area of approximately 36,500 square kilometers, will be fully established as a world-class tourist destination with significant international influence. By then, the annual number of inbound tourists will exceed 3 million, and international flight routes, multilingual services, and international tourist information points will be significantly improved. Whether it's the immersive experience of "Only Henan·Drama Fantasyland" or the specially designed Kung Fu Feast, Song-Style Feast, root-seeking tours, and intangible cultural heritage experiences for overseas visitors, your trip will be enriched.

This meticulously planned Henan Yellow River cultural tour is not merely a physical journey, but a profound dialogue with the roots of Chinese civilization. As you set foot on this path, you touch the pulse of the ancient capitals along the Yellow River's banks and come to understand the story of China found only in Henan.
