How is the city Zhengzhou? Geography, humanities, climate, employment, etc.

Zhengzhou is located in the geographical center of the country. When Sheng Xuanhuai, a minister of the imperial court in the late Qing Dynasty, surveyed the Lu-Han Railway, he turned Zhengzhou Station into a first-class railway station, which directly affected Zhengzhou's modern development. It now has Asia's largest train marshalling station, Zhengzhou North Railway Station, China's largest less-than-truckload cargo transfer station, Zhengzhou East Freight Station, and Asia's only high-speed railway cross-junction station, Zhengzhou East Station, which operates at a speed of 350 kilometers per hour. In the future, Zhengzhou will become the only "double-cross" center in the country's ordinary railway and high-speed railway networks, forming the "half-hour economic circle" of the Central Plains urban agglomeration centered on Zhengzhou, the "1-hour economic circle" of the Central Plains Economic Zone and the national "3-hour economic circle". economic circle". With Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport as the center, it covers two-thirds of the country's major cities and three-fifths of the population within an hour and a half flight.

The Lijiagou site in Xinmi City dates from about 10,500 to 8,600 years ago. The unearthed relics reveal the history of the Central Plains region from the Late Paleolithic Age to the Neolithic Age. The Peiligang Cultural Site discovered in Peiligang, Xinzheng City, about 8,000 years ago, shows that people at that time had begun to raise livestock and engage in cottage industry production activities. The development of primitive agricultural production in the Yellow River Basin was the basis for the emergence and development of Chinese culture. The large-scale ancient settlement site of Dahe Village located in Zhengzhou City is a typical representative of Yangshao culture. Many well-preserved house foundations in the site, with its unique "wooden bone shaping" construction process and construction method, provide a good foundation for the study of ancient Chinese architecture. Important physical items were provided.

Zhengzhou is home to numerous talents and the splendid Central Plains culture has created generations of outstanding figures and has had a significant impact on Chinese history.
