Tour to Henan

This was a show recorded on a theme park in Henan. This theme park was built in 1997 following the scenes from a scroll painting of the Song dynasty entitled Along a river in Qinming.

 

Henan province is a place famous for old relics. At least 6 dynasties made their capital here in Lokyang, the capital of ancient Henan.

Henan is famous for the Longmen Grottoes, a place where Buddha figures were carved on a mountain site in Lokyang during the Tang dynasty.

Other interesting places include the Yuntai Mountain, the SenNong Mountain, Qintian He scenic area and of course the Shaolin Temple where martial art of China originated.
