Henan Tourism Routes
Luoyang Longmen · Shaolin Temple · Kaifeng · Yin Ruins
Henan is the heartland of Chinese civilization: Zhengzhou 1 day, Luoyang 2 days, Dengfeng Shaolin 1 day, Kaifeng 1 day, Anyang Yinxu 1 day, 5–7 days.
Provincial Routes and Cities
The underground and aboveground of Henan both record the early history of China: the palaces of Erlitou in Yanshi, the oracle bones of the Anyang Yin Ruins, the Northern Wei and Tang dynasty statues in Longmen, Luoyang, and the Chan and martial arts of Shaolin in Dengfeng. This site arranges Henan into 4 days covering Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, and Luoyang, and 6 days including the Yin Ruins.
How to Plan a Henan Route
We have divided Henan into 5 ready-made itineraries, covering short, medium, and long durations. Routes within the same province can be freely combined: if time is tight, take the shortest one; if you want a deep experience, connect two routes.
