General presentation
Zhengzhou
Rail metropole, Shang remains and Yellow River serve as the gate to Central Henan.
To understand what Zhengzhou is, you need to look at the Henan Museum, Shang City Ruins and the Yellow River Panoramic Zone. These places give us a view of a territory marked by the big city, urban life, heritage and riverscapes and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.

For a stay of 3 to 6 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: variable influx depending on the season. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Museum
Musée du Henan
The collections bring together bronzes, ceramics and objects from the province's ancient capitals. The collections and remains take time to get past a simple photographic stop; to reserve a sufficient beach helps to understand their regional historical context.
Place indismissible
Ruines de la cité Shang
Slices of earth walls mark a capital of the Bronze Age. Collections and remains take time to go beyond a mere photographic stop; reserving a sufficient beach helps to understand their regional historical context.
Place indismissible
Zone panoramique du fleuve Jaune
Hills and statues dominate the great river north of Zhengzhou. Season, wind and water level greatly alter the experience; fragile banks and any local restrictions must also be respected.
