Siam Society is holding a study trip to Henan, a province in Central China widely regarded as the cradle of Chinese civilisation and one of the most historically important regions in China, from Oct 19-27.
Situated in the fertile central plains along the Yellow River, Henan served for millennia as the political, cultural and spiritual heart of the Chinese world.
More than 20 dynasties and kingdoms established their capitals within present-day Henan province, including some of China's greatest ancient capitals such as Luoyang, Kaifeng, Anyang and Zhengzhou.
