Students from all walks of life and different countries choose Dengfeng to study wushu mainly due to the proximity of the Shaolin Temple, the world's most famous martial arts school and Buddhist temple.

The city was built on the first foundation of the Chinese people, the Shang and Xia dynasties, and served as a capital and hub for later imperial dynasties that spread out across Asia and developed incredible cultural and artistic works. One of the biggest events in Zhengzhou is the annual Ancestor Worship Ceremony in the Yellow Emperor's native place of Xinzheng town, just outside the... https://www.scmp.com/presented/news/china/topics/go-china-zhengzhou/article/1931483/zhengzhou-culturally-rich-location?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/presented/news/china/topics/go-china-zhengzhou/article/1931483/zhengzhou-culturally-rich-location?utm_source=rss_feed Tue, 05 Apr 2016 02:10:38 +0000 The history of Zhengzhou stretches back over 3,500 years. It is one of China's earliest cities, having grown up between the Yellow and Songshan rivers. "Zhengzhou is important because of its geographic setting along the Yellow River and in the central plain. Relics show how Chinese people created their culture along the Yellow River, the cradle of Chinese civilisation," says professor Li Xiaobing of the University of Central Oklahoma.

One of the most popular foreign-oriented restaurants is Zax BBQ, which serves authentic dishes from the American south and is located on Guiren Jie in... https://www.scmp.com/presented/news/china/topics/go-china-zhengzhou/article/1931491/eat-your-heart-out?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/presented/news/china/topics/go-china-zhengzhou/article/1931491/eat-your-heart-out?utm_source=rss_feed Tue, 05 Apr 2016 02:10:36 +0000 Life in Zhengzhou has changed dramatically over the past three to five years, and the impact of that change can be felt all over this ancient city. With a higher standard of living and closer access to a wider world, locals have begun demanding - and receiving - new services and goods.

A major part of these guidelines were requirements for cities to increase the amount of green space they provide for their residents. But Zhengzhou was already ahead of these new central governmental recommendations, and has been in the process of systematically greening many parts of the city.

From 1995 to 2007, the ratio of urban families with refrigerators jumped from 7 to 95 per cent. Nicola Twilley, the author of a forthcoming book on refrigeration and a contributing writer at The New Yorker, estimates that within a decade China has refrigerated as much as it took the United States 50 or 60 years.

Throughout successive dynasties and periods, the city has served as a kinetic commercial and cultural hub - a status that hasn't changed to this day. The reason for Zhengzhou's prominent economic role has always been the same: location. The city is located in the heart of China's central plains, with Beijing to the north, Shanghai to the east, Guangzhou to the south and Xian to the west. Today, Zhengzhou sits within 500km of... https://www.scmp.com/presented/news/china/topics/go-china-zhengzhou/article/1931474/zhengzhous-position-crossroads-china?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/presented/news/china/topics/go-china-zhengzhou/article/1931474/zhengzhous-position-crossroads-china?utm_source=rss_feed Tue, 05 Apr 2016 02:10:34 +0000 Zhengzhou's range of premium hotels is broader and deeper than before, catering to a growing number of guests from all corners of the market. With provincial tourism revenue topping 500 billion yuan (HK$595.76 billion) for the first time in 2015, the city has benefited tremendously from its manufacturing prowess and from Henan's growth in tourism. At the high-end of the market, several five-star hotels have opened in recent years, outpacing the growth of the tourism market, notes Daisy Duan,... https://www.scmp.com/presented/news/china/topics/go-china-zhengzhou/article/1931492/restrictions-government-spending-and?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/presented/news/china/topics/go-china-zhengzhou/article/1931492/restrictions-government-spending-and?utm_source=rss_feed Tue, 05 Apr 2016 02:10:33 +0000 As the city of Zhengzhou and its inhabitants change with the rest of the mainland, some things still remain the same - primarily food.  All across China, eating habits are as much a part of identity as one's last name, and in Zhengzhou, it's no different. The major dish in the city is a seemingly innocuous bowl of beef noodles, lamian.  There isn't a time of day or night when a bowl of thick, stretched out noodles is a bad choice. Locals will have a bowl for breakfast, lunch, dinner, after-party... https://www.scmp.com/presented/topics/go-china-zhengzhou/article/1802893/enjoy-taste-historic-significance?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/presented/topics/go-china-zhengzhou/article/1802893/enjoy-taste-historic-significance?utm_source=rss_feed Tue, 26 May 2015 03:00:15 +0000 Rising in the outskirts of Zhengzhou is a 415-square-kilometre "aero-tropolis" - a city with an airport at its core. Still in its infancy, the Zhengzhou Airport Economic Zone (ZAEZ) will be home to more than 2.5 million people whose lives and livelihoods will be supported by a five-runway airport primarily servicing the area's manufacturing and logistics industries.

"The shopping mall is at the heart of these developments, with the mall becoming the new public space for neighbourhoods."  The first major... https://www.scmp.com/presented/topics/go-china-zhengzhou/article/1802899/economy-booms-consumers?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/presented/topics/go-china-zhengzhou/article/1802899/economy-booms-consumers?utm_source=rss_feed Tue, 26 May 2015 02:45:45 +0000 Zhengzhou's modernisation drive is not just relegated to the Zhengdong central business district (CBD) or to other infrastructure improvements in and around the city. The improvements are not the end, but merely the means to the real goal of the local administration: a modernisation of the people in how they act, dress, buy, think and play. It will take time for the real changes to come.  However, the transformation is slowly taking place.

The city is riding the wave of online shopping by making international purchases cheaper and easier to buy for the nation's 649 million internet users. Zhengzhou is one of the six cities selected to run a pilot cross-border e-commerce project that was jointly approved in 2013 by the nation's General Administration of Customs and the National Development and Reform Commission.  Under the project, Zhengzhou has two bonded areas, the... https://www.scmp.com/presented/topics/go-china-zhengzhou/article/1804649/thriving-economy?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/presented/topics/go-china-zhengzhou/article/1804649/thriving-economy?utm_source=rss_feed Tue, 26 May 2015 02:45:45 +0000 Shaolin Temple has an aggressive and wide-ranging outreach programme that isn't confined to the temple and the corporation that runs it but also extends to the wushu schools that have cropped up around the temple.  The largest school, Tagou Wushu Academy, has an outreach office that has held numerous events to promote the school abroad and internationalise the student body's experiences as much as possible.

After years of playing second fiddle to other more famous areas of the mainland, Zhengzhou is finally coming into its own. It boasts the deep martial arts legacy of the Shaolin Temple and the ancient roots of Chinese civilisation in the Shang ruins and the Yellow Emperor. It also acts as custodian for the Yellow River, the heart of... https://www.scmp.com/presented/topics/go-china-zhengzhou/article/1802921/coming-out-shadows?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/presented/topics/go-china-zhengzhou/article/1802921/coming-out-shadows?utm_source=rss_feed Tue, 26 May 2015 02:45:30 +0000 With 60 skyscrapers in two concentric circles, Zhengzhou's Zhengdong central business district (CBD) aims to become a financial and banking hub in central China. The Zhengdong CBD is now home to 150 financial institutions, including the regional headquarters of HSBC, People's Bank of China, Bank of China and the Agricultural Bank of China. These big banks alone have been estimated to process 70 per cent of all deposits and 60 per cent of all loans in Henan province.

At least 1.4 million people have already moved in, and more are on the way.  "We found what they call a 'ghost city' of new towers with no residents,... https://www.scmp.com/presented/topics/go-china-zhengzhou/article/1802853/banishing-ghost?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/presented/topics/go-china-zhengzhou/article/1802853/banishing-ghost?utm_source=rss_feed Tue, 26 May 2015 02:45:30 +0000 Zhengzhou's history lies not just within the city limits, but also across the countryside and the plains formed by the Yellow River. You must venture out to truly understand the history of this area and the legacy of its many dynasties and emperors.  The Yellow River Scenic Area is a good jumping-off point, not only for its beauty but also for the information provided about the history of the river and its role in building Chinese civilisation.

The first mentions of the Yellow Emperor as an actual political figure rather than a mythical deity began a little more than 2,500 years ago, during the Warring States period. That period began with the crumbling of the Zhou Empire and concluded when the Qin Emperor unified China in 221BC.  The true nature of the Yellow Emperor is lost to history, but Chinese states since the Han dynasty credit him with a... https://www.scmp.com/presented/topics/go-china-zhengzhou/article/1802909/cradle-civilisation?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/presented/topics/go-china-zhengzhou/article/1802909/cradle-civilisation?utm_source=rss_feed Tue, 26 May 2015 02:45:15 +0000 The Shang archaeological site in Zhengzhou is one of the oldest known. Even older than Anyang's, the Shang site is rich in artefacts, weapons, oracle bones and other items that describe the civilisation that ruled here about 3,000 years ago. The Shang, also known as the Yin, are believed to be the first "Chinese" dynasty and are therefore the common ancestors of all Chinese states.

Dozens of movies, books, stories and legends surround the temple and the Buddhist monks, who have lived, worked and trained here for the past 1,500 years.  Legends aside, it is possible to learn kung fu at Shaolin Temple. There is a difference, however, between kung fu, wushu and sanda - three variations of Chinese martial arts that are distinct from each other.  Kung fu is best described as the... https://www.scmp.com/presented/topics/go-china-zhengzhou/article/1802908/fighting-get?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/presented/topics/go-china-zhengzhou/article/1802908/fighting-get?utm_source=rss_feed Tue, 26 May 2015 02:45:00 +0000 As mainland China transitions into a second period of economic opening up and reform, the Zhengzhou-Europe Shuttle Train is ready to transport growing shipments of inventory from its home base in Henan province to markets in Europe.  A key overland route that will be an integral part of China's "Belt and Road" initiatives, the 10,214km journey begins in Zhengzhou - a major hub for the country's "Look West" policy - and leaves the nation at the Alataw Pass in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region... https://www.scmp.com/presented/topics/go-china-zhengzhou/article/1805044/zhengzhou-europe-shuttle-train-rail-link?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/presented/topics/go-china-zhengzhou/article/1805044/zhengzhou-europe-shuttle-train-rail-link?utm_source=rss_feed Tue, 26 May 2015 02:45:00 +0000 Now that the Chinese public has been familiarised with the slogans "China dream" and "the new normal", another wide-reaching economic scheme is being disseminated: "Made in China 2025". Much like the new normal, this scheme is rooted in an increased focus on quality over quantity, high-end manufacturing and innovation. With much of China's manufacturing headed inland, and Zhengzhou's growing location as a major logistics hub, the provincial capital of Henan province is well placed to capitalise... https://www.scmp.com/presented/topics/go-china-zhengzhou/article/1805048/innovation-drives-policy?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/presented/topics/go-china-zhengzhou/article/1805048/innovation-drives-policy?utm_source=rss_feed Tue, 26 May 2015 02:45:00 +0000 The mainland often revitalises its new cities, districts and towns with new university campuses.  It is a logical strategy because an influx of students, faculty and staff can help to populate a newly developed area, instantly create a sizeable consumer base and encourage investment in shops and entertainment.  Such developments get the community's service economy rolling, and help new cities and districts transition from being recently constructed wastelands into vibrant urban... https://www.scmp.com/presented/topics/go-china-zhengzhou/article/1802851/strategy-lets-campuses-transform-city?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/presented/topics/go-china-zhengzhou/article/1802851/strategy-lets-campuses-transform-city?utm_source=rss_feed Tue, 26 May 2015 02:15:30 +0000
