Four National Cultural Parks
China's Outline of the 14th Five-year Plan (2021- 2025) for Economic and Social Development and Long- range Objectives Through the Year 2035, unveiled in March 2021, proposed to build national cultural parks themed on the Great Wall, the Grand Canal, the Long March, and the Yellow River. This makes Henan the only province to engage in the construction of all of these four national cultural parks and a key area for the construction of the Yellow River National Cultural Park. Siezing this opportunity, Henan has launched a number of signature cultural projects. More than 300 projects have been planned, of which 40 key ones are in full swing.
The Yellow River National Cultural Park involves 14 cities in Henan, featuring "one core, three poles, one corridor, and nine belts." The core refers to the Zhengzhou- Kaifeng-Luoyang core area for the preservation and innovation of the Yellow River civilization; the poles refer to the three cross-provincial regions (Henan-Shanxi- Shaanxi, Henan-Hebei-Shandong, and Henan-Anhui- Jiangsu); the corridor refers to the cultural tourism corridor along the trunk stream of the Yellow River; and the belts refer to the nine Yellow River-themed cultural tourism belts. The Grand Canal National Cultural Park involves nine cities in Henan. Efforts will be made to protect the Grand Canal's Henan sections – the Tongji Canal and the Yongji Canal of the Sui-Tang Grand Canal and the Huitong River of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. A total of 25 core parks, 20 routes, and 150 feature spots will be built along the ancient course of the Tongji Canal in Luoyang, Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, and Shangqiu and along that of the Yongji Canal in the Jiaozuo-Xinxiang, Anyang-Hebi, and Puyang sections.
The Great Wall National Cultural Park involves seven cities in Henan. This will help protect the Great Wall sections built by the State of Chu, State of Wei, and State of Zhao in the Spring and Autumn and the Warring States periods more than 2,000 years ago.
The Long March National Cultural Park involves six cities in Henan. The localities involved will be responsible for the preservation of the old revolutionary area in the Dabie Mountains and the Long March route of the 25th Army of the Red Army.
建设四大国家文化公园
2021年3月，《中华人民共和国国民经济和社会发展第十四个五年规划和2035年远景目标纲要》提出建设长城、大运河、长征、黄河等国家文化公园。河南是唯一兼具四大国家文化公园建设任务的省份，也是黄河国家文化公园重点建设区。河南将充分发挥这一叠加优势，集中推出一批文化标志物项目，现已谋划300多项国家文化公园相关项目，其中40项重点项目正加紧推进。
河南省黄河国家文化公园建设涉及14个地市，已确立“一核三极、一廊九带”的空间布局（“一核”为郑汴洛大河文明传承创新核心区，“三极”为豫晋陕、豫冀鲁、豫皖苏等3个跨省域联动发展增长极；“一廊”为黄河干流文化旅游廊道，“九带”为伊洛河、古济水—沁河等9条黄河文化旅游带）。
河南省大运河国家文化公园涉及9个地市，主要承担大运河河南段（隋唐大运河主干道通济渠、永济渠以及京杭大运河会通河）的建设保护任务，将沿通济渠古都发展轴和永济渠古城发展轴，建设通济渠洛阳片区、郑州片区、开封片区、商丘片区和永济渠焦新片区、安鹤片区、濮阳片区，重点打造25个核心展示园、20条集中展示带，150个特色展示点。
河南省长城国家文化公园涉及7个地市，主要承担春秋战国时期的楚长城、魏长城、赵长城建设保护任务。
河南省长征国家文化公园涉及6个地市，主要承担大别山革命老区和红二十五军长征线路建设保护任务。
“十四五”期间，河南将积极参与建设四大国家文化公园，为全社会提供更多探寻中华文明、触摸华夏历史、感悟黄河文化、体验生态环境的公共开放空间。
