Central China's Henan Province boasts rich historical and cultural resources associated with the Yellow River. By tapping into these treasures and embracing innovation, Henan has rolled out new ideas, scenarios, and experiences themed on the Yellow River culture.

Along the Yellow River in Henan, there are over 200 museums and heritage sites that serve as windows for people to understand the Yellow River culture. Data shows that from January to July this year, museums in Henan received over 42.6 million tourist visits.

During this year's National Day holiday in early October, the top five scenic areas that received the most tourist arrivals in Henan were all situated in cities along the Yellow River. The Yellow River cultural tourism belt has truly emerged as the most prominent and dynamic region within Henan's cultural and tourism sector.

Huang Dongsheng, director of the Culture and Tourism Department of Henan Province, said Henan is planning to construct a tourism road spanning approximately 4,810 kilometers. This road will connect 38 popular scenic areas and 46 lesser-known but equally captivating spots along the Yellow River.
