Henan is one of China"s most central provinces and as such it is possible to reach
almost all major destinations from here, using most types of traditional transport. By Air:
Although Luoyang
also has an airport with several domestic flights, most of the flights linking Henan still
use the airport of Zhengzhou, the provincial capital of Henan. Flights from
Zhengzhou reach most important domestic cities. For more information on flights please
refer to Zhengzhou
Transportation. By Train:
This is the most common way to travel to Henan. The province is on the intersection of
several important links of the Chinese Railway System. These Rail links still meet in
Zhengzhou, making the city the biggest railway hub in China, even in Asia. From Zhengzhou,
numerous trains take travelers to Luoyang, Kaifeng and other
provincial destinations. Zhengzhou, Kaifeng and Luoyang are all located along the
Shanghai-Lanzhou Railway, which makes trips between the three cities convenient. By bus:
A high quality express highway has already been constructed between Luoyang and Kaifeng,
via Zhengzhou, and trips between any two of these cities can be made within hours.
There are also express ways from Zhengzhou to Beijing and express ways to
Sanmenxia and Ahangqiu are to be completed in the near
future. Getting to Songshan,
one of China"s five sacred mountains, is best done via either Luoyang or Zhengzhou. For
details regarding provincial transportation, please refer to the transportation overview
of each city respectively. |
