Henan, Province in central China
Henan stretches 480 kilometers from north to south, with the Yellow River dividing it into two parts, featuring western highlands and eastern plains.
The region served as a capital area for more than 20 different Chinese dynasties, including the Shang Dynasty from the 16th to 11th centuries BCE.
The Longmen Grottoes near Luoyang contain thousands of Buddhist statues carved in limestone cliffs, representing Chinese religious art from 493 CE onwards.
The province connects major transportation routes through its capital Zhengzhou, where railways from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Xian intersect.
During the 1938 Sino-Japanese War, Chinese forces deliberately flooded the Yellow River by destroying dikes near Zhengzhou to halt Japanese military advances.
