Henan Province 河南省 is a province of the People's Republic of China. It is located in the North China Plain. The name "Henan" means "south of the river" - the river in this case refers to the Huang He.
Henan Province covers an area of 167,000 sq km (64,000 sq mi). Out of the 22 provinces of China, Henan is the 17th largest province but in terms of population, it ranks a high second behind Guangdong Province. Henan Province has a population of 95 million people (2011 estimate), more than many countries. In fact, if it were an independent country, it would be the 12th most populous in the world.
Henan Provinces shares a border with Hebei Province to the north, Shanxi Province to the northwest, Shaanxi Province to the west, Hubei Province to the south, Anhui Province to the east and Shandong Province to the northeast.

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
