Henan is located in the central part of China, in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. It is called Henan because most of its regions are south of the Yellow River, and it is abbreviated as "Yu." Its unique geographical location makes it an important hub for land transportation connecting the south and north, as well as the east and west of China. Henan is the earliest gathering place of the Chinese nation and the cradle of Huaxia civilization. With a long history, splendid culture, and magnificent natural scenery, it is renowned for its rich tourism resources. The Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang have been listed on the World Heritage List, along with famous tourist attractions such as Mount Songshan, Shaolin Temple, and White Horse Temple.
