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.
建設四大國家文化公園
2021年3月，《中華人民共和國國民經濟和社會發展第十四個五年規劃和2035年遠景目標綱要》提出建設長城、大運河、長征、黃河等國家文化公園。河南是唯一兼具四大國家文化公園建設任務的省份，也是黃河國家文化公園重點建設區。河南將充分發揮這一疊加優勢，集中推出一批文化標志物項目，現已謀劃300多項國家文化公園相關項目，其中40項重點項目正加緊推進。
河南省黃河國家文化公園建設涉及14個地市，已確立“一核三極、一廊九帶”的空間布局（“一核”為鄭汴洛大河文明傳承創新核心區，“三極”為豫晉陜、豫冀魯、豫皖蘇等3個跨省域聯動發展增長極；“一廊”為黃河干流文化旅游廊道，“九帶”為伊洛河、古濟水—沁河等9條黃河文化旅游帶）。
河南省大運河國家文化公園涉及9個地市，主要承擔大運河河南段（隋唐大運河主干道通濟渠、永濟渠以及京杭大運河會通河）的建設保護任務，將沿通濟渠古都發展軸和永濟渠古城發展軸，建設通濟渠洛陽片區、鄭州片區、開封片區、商丘片區和永濟渠焦新片區、安鶴片區、濮陽片區，重點打造25個核心展示園、20條集中展示帶，150個特色展示點。
河南省長城國家文化公園涉及7個地市，主要承擔春秋戰國時期的楚長城、魏長城、趙長城建設保護任務。
河南省長征國家文化公園涉及6個地市，主要承擔大別山革命老區和紅二十五軍長征線路建設保護任務。
“十四五”期間，河南將積極參與建設四大國家文化公園，為全社會提供更多探尋中華文明、觸摸華夏歷史、感悟黃河文化、體驗生態環境的公共開放空間。
