Henan Accommodation

Henan Province (河南省) offers accommodation ranging from international luxury hotels and high-speed railway station hotels to historic-city boutique stays, traditional courtyard guesthouses, hot-spring resorts and mountain homestays. The strongest hotel markets are concentrated in Zhengzhou (郑州), Luoyang (洛阳), Kaifeng (开封) and Anyang (安阳), while counties surrounding Yuntai Mountain, Laojun Mountain, the southern Taihang Mountains and the Dabie Mountains have developed extensive networks of rural inns and scenic homestays.

The most important decision is not simply which hotel brand to choose, but which overnight base best matches the daily itinerary. Zhengzhou is the main transport hub, Kaifeng is ideal for Northern Song culture and night markets, Luoyang suits Buddhist heritage and Tang-inspired experiences, Dengfeng is convenient for Shaolin culture, and county towns such as Luanchuan, Xiuwu, Linzhou and Huixian are better for mountain travel.

Understanding Accommodation in Henan

International and Upscale City Hotels

International-brand and upper-upscale hotels are most common in Zhengzhou, with a growing presence in Luoyang, Kaifeng and major regional cities. These hotels usually provide larger breakfast selections, meeting facilities, swimming pools, fitness centers, elevators, reliable air-conditioning and more experience handling international passports.

Zhengzhou now has luxury hotels in both the traditional city center and the newer Zhengdong New District. InterContinental Zhengzhou occupies a central Erqi location and has 268 rooms and suites, while InterContinental Zhengzhou Zhengdong is positioned in the modern eastern business area with easy access to Zhengzhou East Railway Station and major conference facilities.

Mid-Range Chain Hotels

National hotel brands such as Atour, Ji Hotel, Hampton by Hilton, Holiday Inn Express, Mercure, Vienna International and Lavande are widely available in Henan’s cities and county seats. They are often the most practical choice for road trips because they usually provide predictable room standards, laundry facilities, breakfast, parking and late check-in.

Mid-range chain hotels are particularly useful in railway-station districts and county towns where independent hotels may vary greatly in heating, soundproofing, hot-water supply and foreign-language service.

Historic-City Boutique Hotels and Courtyard Stays

Luoyang and Kaifeng have developed many properties inspired by traditional architecture, dynastic culture and local crafts. These include reconstructed courtyard hotels, Hanfu-themed guesthouses, Song-style inns and boutique properties using elements associated with Tang culture, peonies, ceramics, oracle-bone inscriptions or ancient city walls.

Such hotels can provide a stronger cultural atmosphere than conventional business hotels, but guests should check whether vehicles can reach the entrance. Old-city lanes may be narrow, and some courtyard stays have no elevators or limited luggage access.

Mountain Homestays and Rural Resorts

Henan’s most dynamic accommodation growth is taking place around the Taihang Mountains (太行山), Funiu Mountains (伏牛山), Dabie Mountains (大别山) and rural scenic areas. Properties range from family-run farm stays to architect-designed mountain retreats with panoramic windows, pools, tea rooms, private courtyards and cultural workshops.

In the Ministry of Culture and Tourism’s 2025 national homestay assessment, four Henan properties were recognized as national Class A tourism homestays: Yunhuali (云华里) in Luoyang Old City, Guizhuoyuan (归拙园) in Xinyang, Shijian (石间) in Luanchuan and Shuiquan Yingyue (水泉映月) in Huixian. Four additional Henan properties received Class B recognition: Buyuan Taihang (不远太行) in Linzhou, Jingyu Liunian (静语流年) in Luanchuan, Taihang Courtyard (太行合院) in Huixian and Wangshu Homestay (望舒民宿) in Mengzhou.

Zhengzhou Hotels and Accommodation Areas

Zhengdong New District and Zhengzhou East Railway Station

Zhengdong New District (郑东新区) is the best accommodation area for business travelers, international groups, high-speed railway passengers and visitors using Zhengzhou as a base for regional excursions.

Representative hotels include:

• InterContinental Zhengzhou Zhengdong
• JW Marriott Hotel Zhengzhou
• Sheraton Grand Zhengzhou Hotel
• Branded hotels around Zhengzhou East Railway Station
• Serviced apartments near the CBD and convention center

The district has wide roads, modern shopping centers, restaurants and convenient connections to Zhengzhou East Railway Station. It is also a practical starting point for day trips to Kaifeng, Dengfeng or Unique Henan: Land of Dramas.

InterContinental Zhengzhou Zhengdong provides an indoor pool, extensive parking and access to the Zhengdong business area, while JW Marriott and Sheraton Grand serve the convention, business and upscale leisure markets.

Erqi District and Central Zhengzhou

Central Zhengzhou is better for travelers who want established commercial streets, local restaurants, People’s Park, Erqi Square and easy access to the older city.

InterContinental Zhengzhou is one of the leading luxury choices in this area. Its location on North Erqi Road combines access to the commercial center with full-service facilities, restaurants, a club lounge and an indoor swimming pool.

Other options include local luxury hotels, established government-style hotels and numerous mid-range chains around Erqi Square, Renmin Road and the railway station.

Zhengzhou Railway Station

Hotels around Zhengzhou Railway Station (郑州站) are suitable for short transit stays and travelers using conventional rail services. The area offers extensive budget and mid-range accommodation, although traffic, pedestrian density and street noise can be higher than in Zhengdong.

Select a hotel within a realistic walking distance of the correct station entrance. Zhengzhou Railway Station is large, and a hotel described as “near the station” may still require a taxi or metro transfer.

Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport

Travelers with early flights, late arrivals or onward international connections should consider the airport economic zone or Xinzheng City.

Representative accommodation includes:

• Courtyard by Marriott Zhengzhou Airport
• International and national chain hotels near the airport
• Airport transit hotels
• Business hotels in the Zhengzhou Airport Economy Zone

Airport-area hotels are practical for flight connections but are not convenient bases for central Zhengzhou sightseeing.

Unique Henan and Jianye Movie Town

Visitors spending a full day at Unique Henan: Land of Dramas (只有河南·戏剧幻城) or Jianye Movie Town (建业电影小镇) can stay in eastern Zhengzhou, Zhongmu County or an attraction-associated hotel.

The themed inns inside Jianye Movie Town offer a more immersive experience and may include courtyards inspired by historical or cinematic settings. Staying near the attraction reduces late-night transfers after performances, but visitors planning museums and central-city activities may still prefer Zhengdong New District.

Kaifeng Hotels and Accommodation

Longting District and Millennium City Park

The area around Longting Park (龙亭公园) and Millennium City Park or Qingming Riverside Landscape Garden (清明上河园) is the best base for first-time visitors. It provides convenient access to major cultural parks, city walls, museums and evening performances.

Pullman Kaifeng Jianye (开封建业铂尔曼酒店) is one of the city’s leading upscale hotels. It stands on Longting North Road opposite Millennium City Park and combines Northern Song cultural references with contemporary resort facilities. The property offers parking and convenient access to several major cultural sites in northern Kaifeng.

Other representative choices include:

• Manxin Hotel near Millennium City Park
• Puhua Tianzhu Hotel (璞华天筑酒店)
• Mid-range hotels around Longting and Henan University
• Courtyard-style guesthouses near cultural streets

Kaifeng Old City and Drum Tower

Staying near the Drum Tower (鼓楼), Bookstore Street (书店街) or the old city is suitable for travelers who want night markets, local snacks and evening walks.

Accommodation ranges from inexpensive urban hotels to renovated courtyard guesthouses. Rooms in the old city can be smaller, and coach access may be restricted. The area is most suitable for independent travelers and small private groups rather than large bus tours.

Kaifeng North Railway Station

The railway-station area contains newer business hotels and national chains. It is suitable for late arrivals, early departures and travelers continuing quickly to Zhengzhou or Luoyang.

It is less atmospheric than the old city, so visitors staying more than one night should generally choose Longting District or the central historic area.

Luoyang Hotels and Accommodation

Luolong District and Luoyang Longmen Railway Station

Luolong District (洛龙区) is the most convenient area for modern upscale hotels, Luoyang Longmen Railway Station, the city’s administrative center and road access toward the Longmen Grottoes.

Luoyang Marriott Hotel (洛阳万豪酒店) is located near Kaiyuan Lake and Metro Line 2, approximately three kilometers from Luoyang Longmen Railway Station. It offers 298 rooms and suites, an indoor pool and extensive meeting facilities.

Additional options include:

• Courtyard by Marriott Luoyang
• Hilton Garden Inn and other international or national chains
• Hotels near Kaiyuan Lake and the municipal center
• Business hotels beside the high-speed railway station

This district is recommended for international groups, business travelers and visitors prioritizing the Longmen Grottoes and efficient transportation.

Jianxi District and Peony Square

Jianxi District (涧西区) combines established neighborhoods, restaurants, industrial heritage and convenient metro access.

Sheraton Luoyang (洛阳喜来登酒店) stands near Peony Square and Metro Line 1. The hotel has 319 rooms and suites, an indoor pool and convenient transport links to major urban cultural areas.

Jianxi is suitable for business travelers, repeat visitors and guests who prefer a local urban environment rather than a reconstructed ancient-city district.

Luoyang Old City and Luoyi Ancient City

The old city is the best area for Hanfu experiences, traditional food, evening photography and historic atmosphere. Accommodation includes boutique hotels, courtyard guesthouses and culturally themed inns.

Representative choices include:

• Yunhuali Homestay (云华里)
• Chengzhou Guli Homestay (成周古里民宿)
• Travel World Hotel or Gudu Manbu Hotel (古都漫步酒店)
• Courtyard guesthouses near Luoyi Ancient City
• Boutique hotels around Lijing Gate and Yingtian Gate

Yunhuali was recognized as a national Class A tourism homestay. It incorporates Luoyang cultural motifs and traditional crafts into its accommodation experience.

Old-city accommodation is ideal for couples and photographers, but guests with large luggage should confirm parking, elevator access and the walking distance from the vehicle drop-off point.

Longmen Grottoes Area

Accommodation directly beside the Longmen Grottoes is more limited than in central Luoyang. There are guesthouses, resort-style hotels and local inns near Longmen Ancient Street and surrounding communities.

For most international visitors, Luolong District provides better service and dining while remaining within a manageable road transfer of the grottoes. Staying beside the site is useful only when an early start or a slower riverside experience is a priority.

Luanchuan and Laojun Mountain Accommodation

Luanchuan County Town

Luanchuan County (栾川县) is the main accommodation base for Laojun Mountain, Jiguan Cave and the wider Funiu Mountain region. The county town has business hotels, national mid-range chains, restaurants, supermarkets and vehicle services.

County-center hotels usually provide more reliable facilities than small mountain guesthouses and are suitable for families and tour groups.

Laojun Mountain Scenic Area

Accommodation near Laojun Mountain (老君山) includes scenic guesthouses, mountain-view homestays and seasonal inns near the lower cableway and visitor-service areas.

Representative rural stays in Luanchuan include:

• Shijian Homestay (石间)
• Jingyu Liunian Homestay (静语流年)
• Luozhu Tianji Homestay (洛珠天吉民宿)
• Yinpo Jian Homestay (隐坡·见山)
• Local inns around Laojun Mountain’s entrance communities

Shijian is a nationally recognized Class A tourism homestay, while Jingyu Liunian received national Class B status. Both represent Luanchuan’s transition from basic farm accommodation toward design-focused mountain stays.

Mountain accommodation should be selected carefully. Confirm whether the property is inside or outside the ticketed area, whether a scenic shuttle is required and whether private vehicles can reach the entrance.

Ruyang County and Hot-Spring Stays

Ruyang County (汝阳县) has developed accommodation around wine culture, mountain landscapes and hot springs.

Dukang Xuanwuzhuang Hot Spring Hotel (杜康玄武莊温泉酒店) combines accommodation with Dukang wine culture and a hot-spring environment. The property opened in 2024 and has since been promoted as a rural resort experience.

The Ctrip Vacation Farm property associated with Zaishui Yifang (在水一方) is also located in Ruyang, Luoyang—not in Nanyang—and should be placed within a western Henan or Luoyang rural itinerary.

Dengfeng and Mount Song Accommodation

Dengfeng City

Dengfeng’s urban area provides the widest choice of hotels for visitors to Shaolin Temple (少林寺) and Mount Song (嵩山). Accommodation includes full-service city hotels, martial-arts-themed hotels and national chains.

Staying in Dengfeng is recommended for travelers participating in early-morning kung fu classes, meditation, martial arts school visits or multi-day Mount Song hiking.

Shaolin Temple and Martial Arts School Area

Guesthouses and training accommodation are available near Shaolin Temple and surrounding martial arts schools. Standards range from basic student-style rooms to comfortable cultural hotels.

Visitors should not assume that accommodation advertised as a “Shaolin school stay” is located inside the temple. Shaolin Temple, martial arts schools and surrounding hotels are separate institutions.

For international student groups, room conditions, meal standards, bathroom facilities and foreign-passport registration should be confirmed before booking.

Anyang and Northern Henan Accommodation

Anyang City

Anyang is the principal hotel base for the Yin Xu archaeological area, the National Museum of Chinese Writing and Shang Dynasty cultural travel.

Wanda Realm Anyang (安阳万达嘉华酒店) is one of the city’s leading full-service hotels. Located in the central business area, it offers 286 rooms and suites and is suitable for international groups, cultural tours and business travelers.

Another distinctive property is the Chinese Character Capital Hotel or Zidu Hotel (字都酒店) near the National Museum of Chinese Writing. Its interior uses oracle-bone and Chinese-character themes, making it appropriate for educational and cultural groups.

Linzhou City and Taihang Grand Canyon

Linzhou (林州) is the gateway to the Taihang Grand Canyon, Red Flag Canal and Shibanyan Town. The city center has modern business hotels and national chains, while Shibanyan has a large concentration of mountain homestays and art-study accommodation.

Representative properties include:

• Buyuan Taihang (不远太行)
• Shanzhi Chuanxing Homestay (山止川行民宿)
• Country Retreats Henan Anyang Linzhou Shibanyan
• Traditional Taihang stone-house stays
• Artist and sketching-base accommodation around Shibanyan

Buyuan Taihang received national Class B tourism homestay recognition. Shibanyan’s lodging industry is strongly associated with stone architecture, mountain scenery and art-study tourism.

Mountain-view rooms may face valleys or cliffs, but the final road can be narrow and winding. Large coaches should normally remain in designated parking areas.

Jiaozuo and Yuntai Mountain Accommodation

Jiaozuo City

Central Jiaozuo offers reliable business hotels, national chains and restaurants. It is suitable for travelers combining Yuntai Mountain with urban services or railway travel.

However, staying in Jiaozuo adds a road transfer to the mountain each morning. Visitors planning two full scenic days should normally stay in Xiuwu County or the Yuntai Mountain service area.

Xiuwu County and Yuntai Mountain

Accommodation around Yuntai Mountain (云台山) is concentrated in visitor-service villages and the shore-service area. Options include boutique hotels, family inns, chain hotels and traditional farm stays.

Representative choices include:

• Yuntai Mountain Yimei Boutique Hotel
• Taoran Homestay (陶然民宿)
• National chain hotels in the visitor-service area
• Family guesthouses in Shore Village
• Mountain-view inns near the scenic shuttle stations

The main advantage of staying near the attraction is quick access to scenic shuttle buses. The disadvantages can include uneven room quality, limited elevators and busy restaurants during summer weekends.

Mengzhou and Mogou Village

Wangshu Homestay (望舒民宿) in Mengzhou was developed by restoring traditional cave dwellings in Mogou Village. It contains cave-style rooms and spaces for cultural activities and was recognized as a national Class B tourism homestay.

Xinxiang, Huixian and the Southern Taihang Mountains

Xinxiang City

Xinxiang city center has modern business hotels, branded chains and convenient railway access. It is a practical base for business travelers but less suitable for travelers spending several days in Baoquan, Baligou or Wanxian Mountain.

Huixian County-Level City

Huixian (辉县市) is the principal tourism base for Baoquan, Baligou, Wanxian Mountain, Guoliang Village and other southern Taihang destinations.

Two of Henan’s nationally graded homestays are located in Huixian:

• Shuiquan Yingyue (水泉映月) — national Class A
• Taihang Courtyard (太行合院) — national Class B

Shuiquan Yingyue combines mountain accommodation with pools and natural water features, while Taihang Courtyard consists of multiple traditional-style courtyards designed for accommodation, dining and group activities.

Baoquan Tourist Area

Baoquan Tourist Area consists of the Grand Canyon Park and Yatianxia Park, with accommodation distributed between the lower canyon and the upper cliff region.

Representative accommodation includes:

• Ji Hotel Baoquan Grand Canyon
• Baoquan Summer Resort
• Sanshan Laichi Huangyangen Homestay
• Muyulan Taihang Story Homestay
• Additional scenic cabins and family inns

Staying in the Grand Canyon area is convenient for water activities and family travel. Properties near Yatianxia are better for cliff scenery, photography and early access to elevated viewing areas.

Guests should confirm which park their hotel is in. Transfers between the canyon floor and upper cliff area involve scenic transportation and may take longer than expected.

Guoliang Village and Wanxian Mountain

Accommodation around Guoliang Village consists mainly of family hotels, mountain inns and sketching bases. Facilities can be simple, particularly during cold weather.

Travelers seeking more comfortable rooms can stay in Huixian or a better-equipped resort outside the village and make a day visit.

Sanmenxia and the Yellow River Region

Sanmenxia City and Swan Lake

Sanmenxia offers city hotels, business accommodation and resorts connected with Yellow River scenery and winter swan watching.

Sanmenxia Swan Lake International Hotel (三门峡天鹅湖国际大酒店) is a representative full-service property associated with the Swan Lake tourism area. It is suitable for family holidays, ecological tours and winter photography groups.

During the main swan-viewing season, rooms facing wetlands or close to observation areas should be booked early. Winter visitors should confirm heating and transportation before early-morning photography.

Lingbao and Western Henan

Lingbao provides practical city hotels and roadside accommodation for travelers continuing toward Shaanxi and Xi’an. Rural and scenic accommodation is available near mountain and Yellow River cultural areas, but international groups should confirm service standards in advance.

Xuchang and Yanling Hot-Spring Hotels

Xuchang City

Xuchang has a solid business-hotel market serving conferences, industry and regional tourism. Accommodation is concentrated around the city center, railway stations and modern commercial districts.

Yanling County

Yanling County (鄢陵县) is known for flowers, ecological resorts and hot-spring holidays.

Yanling Jianye The Mist Hot Spring Hotel (鄢陵建业花满地温泉酒店) is one of central Henan’s best-known destination resorts. It combines contemporary design, gardens, hot-spring facilities and leisure accommodation and is suitable for couples, families and weekend holidays from Zhengzhou.

When booking a hot-spring hotel, verify whether hot-spring entry is included in the room rate and whether private pools, public pools or outdoor facilities operate seasonally.

Xinyang and the Dabie Mountain Region

Xinyang City

Xinyang’s main urban area offers business hotels, lake-view accommodation and national chains. The city is a practical base for Nanwan Lake, tea culture and southern Henan travel.

Shihe District and Tea Mountains

Guizhuoyuan Homestay (归拙园) in Shihe District is located within a tea-country ecological landscape and was recognized as a national Class A tourism homestay. Its environment and design connect accommodation with tea gardens, forest scenery and southern Henan rural culture.

Other regional accommodation includes:

• Tea-culture homestays
• Mopan Mountain rural retreats
• Lakeside hotels near Nanwan Lake
• Forest guesthouses around Jigong Mountain
• County hotels in Luoshan, Guangshan, Shangcheng and Xinxian

Spring tea season and summer mountain holidays can create strong weekend demand.

Nanyang and the Funiu Mountain Region

Nanyang City

Nanyang provides full-service city hotels, business properties and national chains near its railway stations and central districts. It is the most reliable base for international groups beginning a southern or southwestern Henan itinerary.

Xixia, Neixiang and Funiu Mountain Counties

Accommodation around Xixia, Neixiang, Xichuan and the Funiu Mountains includes county hotels, forest resorts, family guesthouses and rural retreats.

Recommended bases depend on the itinerary:

• Xixia County (西峡县) for forest and geological travel
• Neixiang County (内乡县) for historic county culture and mountain extensions
• Xichuan County (淅川县) for Danjiang Reservoir and water-conservation themes
• Nanzhao County (南召县) for Funiu Mountain ecology

High-quality rural accommodation is growing, but international passport registration and English-language service remain less consistent than in Nanyang city.

Pingdingshan, Ruzhou and Lushan

Pingdingshan’s urban area has business hotels and branded chains. Lushan County (鲁山县) and Ruzhou (汝州) add hot springs, mountain resorts and rural accommodation.

Mountain or hot-spring stays are best suited to self-driving travelers and private groups. Larger international groups may prefer a city hotel and use private transportation for day excursions.

Jiyuan and Wangwu Mountain

Jiyuan (济源) has practical business hotels and national chains in the urban center. Rural inns and mountain guesthouses are available near Wangwu Mountain and Yellow River scenic areas.

Staying in the city offers stronger dining, shopping and medical facilities. A scenic-area stay is better for hiking and early-morning landscapes but usually provides fewer international services.

Eastern and Southeastern Henan Cities

Shangqiu

Shangqiu has business hotels, railway-station accommodation and boutique inns around the ancient city. Visitors interested in historic atmosphere can stay near the old city, while high-speed rail travelers should choose the modern urban district.

Zhoukou

Zhoukou’s hotel market primarily serves business, government and regional family travel. Modern chains are concentrated in the city center and near major transport routes.

Zhumadian

Zhumadian provides city hotels and rural accommodation connected with Chaya Mountain and ecological tourism. Staying in the city is practical for transport, while Suiping County offers closer access to mountain areas.

Hebi

Hebi has business hotels in the modern urban district and rural stays near ancient villages and mountain areas. The city is often combined with Anyang rather than treated as a separate hotel destination.

Puyang

Puyang’s accommodation focuses on business, petroleum-industry travel and Yellow River regional tourism. International groups should favor established city-center hotels.

Luohe

Luohe offers national chains and business hotels connected with food-industry travel, conferences and regional transportation. It is generally used as a transit or business base rather than a scenic resort destination.

Hotels near Henan’s Major Tourist Areas

Booking Advice for Henan Hotels

Book Early during Major Travel Periods

Accommodation demand rises sharply during the Luoyang peony season in April, Chinese New Year, the May Day holiday, summer school holidays and the National Day holiday.

Mountain homestays in Luanchuan, Linzhou, Xiuwu and Huixian also fill quickly on summer weekends. Properties with panoramic balconies, family rooms or private courtyards should be reserved well in advance.

Confirm Foreign-Guest Registration

International travelers should provide the original passport used for entry into China. Before booking a small homestay, village inn or training-school room, confirm that the property can complete the required temporary accommodation registration for foreign guests.

International-brand hotels and larger city hotels usually handle the process more routinely. Small rural properties may require passport information and arrival details in advance.

Check the Exact Location

A hotel using “Laojun Mountain,” “Yuntai Mountain,” “Baoquan” or “Longmen” in its name may still be some distance from the ticket entrance.

Check:

• Distance to the visitor center
• Whether a scenic shuttle is required
• Whether private cars can reach the hotel
• Whether the property is inside or outside the ticketed area
• Whether attraction tickets are included
• Whether the road is suitable for a coach

Confirm Heating and Air-Conditioning

Henan summers can be very hot, while winter nights in mountain counties are cold. Confirm that the property has effective air-conditioning in summer and reliable heating in winter.

Some rural homestays use individual air conditioners, electric heaters or floor heating rather than centralized systems.

Check Elevator and Accessibility

Traditional courtyard hotels, cave-dwelling stays and mountain homestays may have stairs but no elevator. Families with children, elderly travelers and guests carrying large luggage should request ground-floor rooms or confirm luggage assistance.

Choose Parking-Friendly Hotels for Road Trips

Private vehicles are the most practical way to reach Dengfeng, Luanchuan, Linzhou, Baoquan and many rural attractions.

Ask whether the hotel provides:

• Free parking
• Coach access
• Electric-vehicle charging
• Overnight security
• A paved final approach road

Review Breakfast and Dining Arrangements

International breakfasts are most likely in luxury hotels in Zhengzhou, Luoyang, Kaifeng and Anyang. County hotels generally provide Chinese breakfast, while mountain homestays may offer a fixed local menu.

Travelers needing halal, vegetarian, allergy-sensitive or Western-style meals should confirm arrangements before arrival.

Use Flexible Cancellation for Mountain Routes

Heavy rain, snow, ice, strong winds or maintenance may affect mountain roads, cableways and scenic facilities. Flexible hotel reservations are useful for Yuntai Mountain, Laojun Mountain and the Taihang region.

Henan Major Tourism Areas and Representative Hotel List

Henan Hotels and Accommodation with Yaso Trip

Yaso Trip arranges Henan accommodation for private travelers, families, international groups, students, photographers, Muslim travelers and self-driving tours.

Accommodation can be selected according to the route and travel style, including international luxury hotels in Zhengzhou and Luoyang, Northern Song-themed stays in Kaifeng, cultural hotels in Anyang, Shaolin-area accommodation in Dengfeng, mountain homestays in Luanchuan and Linzhou, scenic hotels around Yuntai Mountain and Baoquan, hot-spring resorts in Yanling and tea-culture retreats in Xinyang.

For international tours, hotel planning should be coordinated with train schedules, private transportation, attraction reservations and passport registration. The best hotel is not always the most luxurious property; it is the accommodation that reduces unnecessary transfers, provides dependable facilities and places travelers in the correct district for the next day’s itinerary.
