Henan’s capital is used primarily as a stopover en route to Kaifeng, Luoyang, and the Shaolin Temple. The Shang City Walls to the east of city are all that remain of the city that existed here 3,000 years ago. To the west is Chenghuang Miao (Temple of the City God), with its roof sculptures of Loong and phoenixes. The pyramidal Henan Provincial Museum, in the north of city, has a superb collection of Shang relics with English captions, while the fourth floor houses a dinosaur gallery. For fine views of the Yellow River, visit the Yellow River Park, 17 miles northwest of city.
