(2) Water scenery. Water adds beauty to a scene. They are important not only for their effect on the attractiveness of an area but also for the recreational possibilities they open up. Great and age-old rivers flow through the province. The Yellow River is the maternal river of the land and the cradle of Chinese Civilization; while Luo River, the tributary of the Yellow River, is also one of the origins of Chinese culture. These two rivers both run through this province. The name of this province “Henan” indicates the province is located to the southern bank of Yellow River. “He” means “river”, “nan” means “south”.
For instance, Yellow River Sightseeing Zone in Zhengzhou; Yellow River Dam Project Scenic Area at Xiaolangdi, Luoyang; the Red Flag Canal in Linzhou City; the outstanding resort of Baiquan Spring which lies in the northwest of Xinxiang City; the scenic spot of Wulongkou in Jiyuan which is a tourist spot characterized by the hot springs. There are many reservoirs in Henan. Major ones include the Danjiangkou Reservoir on the border with Hubei, Sanmenxia Reservoir, Suyahu Reservoir, Baiguishan Reservoir, Nanwan Reservoir, and Banqiao Reservoir. (Lin 11)

Henan is famous for flowers or blossoms. For years, the local people have been fond of flowers and flower growing. Each city has its own symbolic flower.

Great culture has left us rich cultural relics. Of all the historical relics in China, those still remaining underground in Henan rank the first.

And there have been lots of noted persons who have been very closely related to Henan, namely Laozi (or Laotse) , the founder of Daoism, was born in the present Luyi County in Henan. The Yellow Emperor was born in the present Xinzheng City, right in the southern suburb of Zhengzhou City. Fuxi, one of China’s ancestors, was not born in the province, but his mausoleum is in the present Huaiyang County, Henan. 旅游景点名称的英语翻译(3):http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_9995.html
