Henan Attractions

 
Henan, one of China's most densely populated provinces, lies in central China, on the lower reaches of the Huanghe river, between 110°22' and 116°38'E and 31°23' and 36°22'N. Henan means ''south of the river'', because most of the province does lie south of the Huanghe.

Henan can be divided into two topographical areas, the hilly region in the west and parts of the North China Plain in the east. Three river systems flow through the province - the Huanghe in the north, the Huaihe in the south and the Tanghe and Taohe in the southwest.

The climate is largely continental, being cold and dry in winter and humid in summer.
