Why is Zhoukou called Zhoukou?
Zhoukou City is located in the southeast of Henan Province, China, where Shahe, He Ying and Jia Luhe meet. It borders Fuyang City in Anhui Province in the east, Luohe City and Xuchang City in Henan Province in the west, Zhumadian City in the south and Kaifeng City and Shangqiu City in the north.
Zhoukou is called Zhoukou.
The shipping history of Shaying River, the main river in Zhoukou City, can be traced back to more than 2,000 years ago. It used to be the most important section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in history-a very famous section of Tongji Canal, and also a very famous gap water system.
In the early Ming Dynasty, in order to meet the needs of businessmen on both sides of the strait, a family named Zhou opened the first ferry on Nan 'an Street, hence the name "Zhoujiakou".
At the beginning, because of the vertical and horizontal rivers in Zhoukou, water transportation was particularly convenient. Fiona Fang hundreds of miles of agricultural and sideline products are mostly resold or sold here by water transport, and Sha Ying River transport can go directly to Shanghai-Nanjing. Zhoukou is one of the four famous towns in Henan, famous in the Central Plains and also known as "Little Wuhan".
