City overview
Set on the banks of the Yellow River, the capital city of Henan province is an economical, technological and educational powerhouse in the heart of China. With a history that dates back to ancient Chinese times, Zhengzhou is a great starting point for those who want to dive into China’s past.
One of the most attractive draws to the city is the famed Shaolin Temple, which is located just outside Zhengzhou. A day trip to the temple lets visitors explore the roots of a particularly popular martial art: Kung Fu. Also nearby are the majestic grounds of the Longmen Grottoes, home to a stunning collection of ancient Chinese art and Buddhist statues. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is made of thousands of caves, featuring statues carved directly into limestone cliffs. Both Shaolin Temple and the Longmen Grottoes are worth a day trip from Zhengzhou.
In the city, visitors won’t find an overwhelming amount of things to do, though the local cuisine is always a draw. Noodle shops and traditional Chinese pastries, known as Taosibao, are two of Zhengzhou’s calling cards. There is also the pyramid-shaped Henan Provincial Museum, with its array of ancient artefacts and pottery, as well as the Yellow River Scenic Area, a green space set along the river with tranquil sights of the water.
