Three private Henan routes — five to seven days on the Heritage Classic from Zhengzhou through Shaolin Temple to Luoyang’s Longmen Grottoes and Kaifeng Song streets, two to four days focused on Luoyang with an optional Shaolin day, or eight to eleven days for Highlights that add Anyang Yin Xu or the Spring Temple Buddha spur. Henan Province, China — not a Cornish hen.

Why book directly with DragonTrail?
Private Vehicle
Your vehicle for the group — no shared tour bus clock between Zhengzhou, Shaolin, Longmen, or Kaifeng night markets.
Henan ≠ hen
This page is Henan Province (河南) — Luoyang, Shaolin, Kaifeng. It is not a poultry SERP or Cornish hen recipe. We keep that clear so you book the right province.
Longmen + Shaolin Honesty
UNESCO grotto mornings, temple etiquette, and Song night-market timing are real. We pace transfers — not a rushed checklist.
English-speaking Guide
An English-speaking guide on sightseeing days, scoped in the plan we send you.
Heritage + Spur Pacing
Grotto cliffs, mountain temple approaches, and optional Anyang / Spring Temple days need different energy. We match season and fitness instead of a coach timetable.
No Shopping Stops
Routes stay on grottoes, temples, and Song heritage streets. We do not insert shopping stops.

What Travelers Say
Verified TripAdvisor notes from travelers on DragonTrail private tours.
“Jason was wonderful! He was very responsive, had great insight on the best areas to hike, and was genuinely kind. As a solo female traveler I felt safe 100% of the time — I would definitely book again and recommend him to friends.

“Chuan is a terrific guide. Prompt, professional, knowledgeable, and just an all-around nice guy. We visited the mutianyu section of the Great Wall and the experience couldn't have been better! Highly recommended!!! Chuan is the best!
“Chuan was a great guide, a super driver and very accommodating of what we hoped to see — we had a memorable day. We highly recommend Chuan and Dragon Trail.

FAQ
Private for your group. The vehicle, guide days, and daily order are planned around your dates — not a set coach departure with shopping stops.
Plan about five to seven days when Shaolin, Luoyang, and Kaifeng are all the point (Classic). Two to four days (Essence) keep Luoyang Longmen with an optional Shaolin day. Eight to eleven days (Highlights) add Anyang and/or Spring Temple.
No. Henan (河南) is a Central Plains province — Luoyang, Shaolin, Kaifeng, Zhengzhou. This page never sells poultry products.
No. We quote after we know your dates, party size, and which bases you want. Entrance tickets and activity choices stay in that quote.
Yes — that is the Essence shape. If you later want Shaolin and Kaifeng too, Classic is the usual upgrade.
Xi’an↔Luoyang day-trips are custom fold-ins (Shaanxi products stay separate). Anyang Yin Xu and Spring Temple sit on the Highlights card when nights allow — not as a fourth set route.
Zhengzhou Xinzheng Airport (CGO), Zhengzhou / Luoyang / Kaifeng hotels, Shaolin–Dengfeng area, or Xi’an rail fold-in when that base fits. If you are still choosing a hotel, select “Not sure yet” and tell us the area in the note.
Classic keeps the traveler-critical Luoyang + Shaolin ± Kaifeng spine that English demand already buys as a province trip. City commercials can come later if conversion data warrants — v1 owns /tours/henan.
