Henan is not only the main cradle of the Chinese nation, but also the main birthplace of Chinese civilization. There are eight ancient sites in China and four in Henan. For a long time, Henan is almost the political, economic, military and cultural center of China, the center of ancient invention and creation of China, and the center of spreading culture and exchanging civilization to the whole country and the world. At present, Henan is famous for its four ancient capitals: Luoyang, Kaifeng, Anyang and Zhengzhou.
First of all, Luoyang, Luoyang's peony and Longmen Grottoes are well known all over the world. It is said that "only peony is the real national color, and the capital moves when flowers bloom", which is by no means out of thin air. Luoyang's geographical pulse and the strangeness of peony make Luoyang's peony especially famous in the world. Longmen Grottoes is now a world protected heritage and a national 5a protected scenic spot. It is one of the treasure houses of stone carving art in China, considered as one of the greatest treasure houses of classical art in the world, and a "milestone" of the grottoes art in China.
Kaifeng is also a place worth visiting. It has a long history and is famous for its iron tower and Suoguo Temple. Speaking of Anyang, we can't help but mention Yin Ruins, the birthplace of Oracle Bone Inscriptions, where the world-famous cultural relic Wuding was unearthed. Zhengzhou is now a national central city, and its future development potential should not be underestimated. So if you want to go to the characteristic ancient city, come to Henan, which will make you linger.
