What are the good places to travel in Henan?

However, Henan is also the most concentrated area of wars and disasters in the history of China. In different periods of history, a large number of Henan people emigrated to escape the war, which greatly promoted the development of many parts of the motherland and the spread of Chinese civilization. Henan is named because most of its area lies south of the Yellow River.
