My Hometown, Henan Province, Where the Yellow River Flow Through!

Henan is a province of the People's Republic of China, located in the central part of the country. Its one-character abbreviation is Yu, a Han Dynasty state (zhou) that included parts of Henan. Although the name of the province means "south of the river", approximately a quarter of the province lies north of the Yellow River, north of the capitol city, Zhengzhou. 

Henan is the 5th largest provincial economy of China and the largest among inland provinces. However, per capita GDP is low compared to other eastern and central provinces, and Henan is considered to be one of the less developed areas in China. The economy continues to depend on its dwindling aluminum and coal reserves, as well as agriculture, heavy industry, tourism, and retail. High-tech industry and service sector are developing very fast and is concentrated around Zhengzhou and Luoyang, where Apple’s iPhone was manufactured in the factory of Foxconn.
