With only a weekend, what is the best way to see Henan?

[Direct conclusion] 【With two days, go deep in one city rather than racing between cities. Key points to keep in mind: 1. Best options: Luoyang (Longmen plus the old town and museums), or Zhengzhou combined with Dengfeng for Shaolin.】 Option A: two days in Luoyang (our top pick) Option B: Zhengzhou plus Dengfeng Option C: minimalist Laojun Mountain (for the energetic) Three firm rules for a two-day trip: ◆ Reserve every ticket in advance; Longmen and the Henan Museum routinely sell out same-day. 2. ◆ Stay near your main attraction or the rail station to cut commuting. 3. ◆ Do not over-schedule: three or four sites done properly beat seven done badly. 4. The enemy of a weekend trip is transit time. Note: Carry the original ID and a photo copy saved on your phone before departure.
