郑州 Zhengzhou, new Capital of Henan Province

According to the legends told by people more than 3000 years ago, the "Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors", the Chinese culture can be dated back to 5000 years ago, but it is not yet proved with archeological findings. But the ancient capital Yin Xu, which is located in Henan province today, is the archeological proof of a history of 3300 years. Now many of the oldest and most beautiful findings of China are stored and exhibited in the Henan Museum in Zhengzhou.
Among them, the Gold Board from Empress Wu Zetian, Fuhao Zun - Flagon in Shape of an Owl, the iron Sword with Handle of Jade, Flagon with Lotus and Crane and so on are the most precious treasures.
