Henan Shangqiu has many scenic spots, and the Yellow River is one of them. The old course of the Yellow River has two sections in the north and south of Shangqiu. The southern section is the Yellow River ancient road from the Jinshouzong period of the Jin Dynasty to the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty. The northern section is the Yellow River ancient road from the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty to the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty. December 1232, when the kingdom of gold was about to perish, Jin Ai Zong was moved to Beijing Shangqiu by the capital of Beijing. The Mongolian army could not attack for a long time. In the northwest of Shangqiu, the river was artificially built into the Yellow River. The Qing Dynasty Xianfeng five years (AD 1855), the Tongwatou of Henan Province (now Lankao County) was destroyed at Dongbatou, diverted to the northeast, and injected into the Bohai Sea near Lijin County, Dezhou, Shandong Province. In this way, the Yellow River left a tail in the northern part of Shangqiu, so it was called the Yellow River, also known as the Yellow River Trail. The Shangqiu Yellow River Old Road Site is now the National Forest Park. It is the only artificial forest national forest park in the plains of China, with a total area of about 65 square kilometers, including the Forest Park Central Park, Tianmu Lake Scenic Area and Tianquan Lake Wetland. More than 20 attractions. Public transportation: Shangqiu 61 bus (Shangqiu Railway Station - Shangqiu Yellow River Old Road National Forest Park) play time: 1-2 hours recommended
