Introduction to Henan Tourist Attractions Henan is called Henan for short, and Zhengzhou, the provincial capital, covers an area of 1.67 million square kilometers. Located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, the terrain is high in the west and low in the east. It is divided into five parts: East Henan Plain, Nanyang Basin, West Henan, North Henan and South Henan. What we usually call the "Central Plains" is the area centered on Henan. The climate of Henan belongs to continental monsoon climate. Because it is located in the crisscross zone between warm temperate zone and subtropical zone, and on the Loess Plateau, it is not only hot in winter with distinct seasons, but also has its own unique climate characteristics-windy and dusty. The Central Plains is the birthplace of Chinese civilization, and the great Yellow River has nurtured the splendid civilization of China for 5,000 years.
