Zhengzhou, an ancient capital nestled in the arm of the mother river, is one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization.
依偎在母亲河畔的古都郑州，是中华文明的发祥地之一。
"The important archaeological findings at the Shuanghuaishu Site are a key to the exploration of cultural origin along the Yellow River basin." Standing on the highest point at the Shuanghuaishu Site in Heluo Town, Gongyi City, you can overlook the Yellow River and the Luohe River to the north, as well as Mangshan Mountain and Songshan Mountain to the south.
“双槐树遗址的重要考古发现，是探寻黄河流域文明起源过程的一把钥匙。”站在巩义市河洛镇双槐树遗址的制高点，北望是浩浩荡荡的黄河、洛河；南望是绵延不绝的邙山、嵩山等。
The Shuanghuaishu Site is a large-scale settlement site of the middle and late Yangshao culture around 5,300 years ago. Named "Heluo Kingdom" by experts for its location in the center of the Heluo area, it provides the key elements of the key area in the crucial period for exploring the origin of Chinese civilization. In addition, the solid archaeological proof indicates that the middle and late Yangshao Culture centering on the Shuanghuaishu Site around 5,300 years ago is indeed "the root of the Yellow River culture, and the soul of Chinese civilization", thereby rated by specialists as "the cradle of early Chinese civilization".
双槐树遗址是一处距今5300年前后的仰韶文化中晚期巨型聚落遗址。因其位于河洛中心区域，专家命名为“河洛古国”，填补了中华文明起源关键时期、关键地区的关键材料，也以考古学的实证材料表明在5300年前后以双槐树遗址为中心的仰韶文化中晚期文明，的确是黄河文化之根，华夏文明之魂，被专家学者称为“早期中华文明的胚胎”。
The Zhengzhou Yellow River is over 160km long from west to east, connecting the Loess Plateau and the Huanghuai Plain. Peach Blossom Valley in Xingyang is the boundary of the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. In Zhengzhou, there are lots of different well-preserved historical sites and ruins, some of which may even date back to the origin of the Yellow River Culture.
郑州黄河段东西长160多公里，位于黄土高原与黄淮平原的交接地带，荥阳桃花峪是黄河中下游的分界线。在黄河的滋养下，郑州段留存了大量宝贵的古迹和遗址，具有数量多、类型全、历史久、品位高、密度大等特点。
"Zhengzhou is rich in relics. A series of archaeological discoveries such as the Shang Dynasty City ruins, Dahe Village ruins, and Peiligang ruins make Zhengzhou a place for seeking origin." According to Liang Xiuqing, Deputy Director of the Publicity and Promotion Department of the Zhengzhou Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism, the tourism resources of the Yellow River in Zhengzhou are classified into three categories: cultural landscape, natural landscape, and intangible cultural heritage. Among them, there are more than 330 cultural attractions and more than 50 natural views. The two world cultural heritage sites are the Historic Monuments of Dengfeng in "The Centre of Heaven and Earth" and the Zhengzhou section of Tongji Canal of the Grand Canal of China.
