郑、汴、洛，黄河岸边三座古都距离三百里，从夏至宋，占据国家政治经济中心三千年，绘就了光辉灿烂的历史画卷。郑州，藏着华夏文明古国的神秘；洛阳，挥洒盛世隋唐的辉煌；开封，彰显梦华大宋的繁华气象；行走这三座城，也就看遍了，古老华夏文明的精华缩影。
Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, and Luoyang are three ancient capitals located about 150 kilometers between each other apart along the banks of the Yellow River. From the Xia dynasty to the Song dynasty, they occupied the political and economic center of ancient China for three thousand years, painting a glorious and splendid historical picture. Zhengzhou holds the mysteries of the ancient Huaxia civilization; Luoyang displays the brilliance of the prosperous Sui and Tang dynasties; Kaifeng showcases the flourishing grandeur of the Song dynasty. Walking through these three cities is like seeing the quintessential essence of ancient Huaxia civilization.

It is not just a river—the Yellow River, but is also associated with the yellow earth, the Yellow Emperor, yellow skin, and the legendary “Ji (几)” shaped Chinese dragon, forming the image of the Chinese nation. Therefore, people have sublimed this river flowing through the heartland of China into a “Holy River”. From the poem by Zuo Heshui “The Yellow River rushes forth from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau like a roaring dragon descending from the sky, with magnificent momentum and tumultuous waves breaking through the air, and spans thousands of miles until it reaches the sea,” one can appreciate how the Yellow River embodies the majestic spirit and enduring vitality of the Chinese nation—persistently forging ahead through twists and turns.
