Henan 7-Day In-Depth Tour

Seven Days Through the Cradle of Chinese Civilization

Henan runs too deep for a quick glance. This is where Chinese civilization began — where the 8,000-year-old Jiahu bone flute still sings, where Fu Hao’s bronze owl keeps watch, and where a full dynasty once lived in stone at the Longmen Grottoes. Seven unhurried days carry you across three cities and five millennia, from the rammed-earth wheat fields of the immersive Land of Dramas to the lantern-lit rivers of old Kaifeng and the Tang glories of Luoyang.

Day 1–2: Zhengzhou & a Land of Dramas

Arrive in Zhengzhou, where the Erqi Square memorial tower lights the night. Your first full day belongs to Unique Henan · Land of Dramas, an immersive theater city with 21 different shows. Race to the popular small theaters at opening, then settle in for one great main show — the famine-set Lijia Village Theater moves many to tears, while the Fantasy City Theater sweeps through half of Chinese history.

Day 3–4: Museum Treasures & Song-Dynasty Kaifeng

A senior guide breathes life into the Henan Museum’s treasures — the Jiahu bone flute, Fu Hao’s owl zun, the cloud-pattern bronze jin. Then cross to Kaifeng, drift past the Po Pagoda and Longting Lake, and end the day aboard a dragon-boat cruise along the Imperial River. The old city unfolds: the Iron Pagoda, the thousand-arm Guanyin, the newly found Zhouqiao Ruins — and, at night, the glowing Millennium City Park, a sleepless Bianjing reborn.

Day 5–7: Tang Luoyang & the Smiling Buddha

In Luoyang, slip into a Tang robe for a private photo shoot at Yingtian Gate or Luoyi Old Town, then feast on the imperial Water Banquet. Glaze your own tri-color pottery beside a heritage master, wander a Grand Canal museum, and watch dusk warm the Vairocana Buddha’s smile at the Longmen Grottoes. A final art-block stroll and a high-speed train send you home.
