Zhengzhou is the capital of Henan province in central China and one of the world's most historically significant cities, home to approximately 12.7 million residents. Like all of China, it operates on China Standard Time (CST, UTC+8). Henan Province — of which Zhengzhou is the capital — is considered the cradle of Chinese civilisation. The Yellow River valley around Zhengzhou was home to China's earliest dynasties: the Xia, Shang, and Zhou. Luoyang and Kaifeng (nearby cities) were major imperial capitals. Shaolin Monastery, the birthplace of Zen Buddhism and Chinese martial arts (kung fu), is located 80 km west of Zhengzhou in the Song Mountains — it has trained Buddhist warrior monks since 495 AD. Zhengzhou is also the world's largest iPhone production hub — Foxconn's 'iPhone City' complex in Zhengzhou employed up to 350,000 workers at its peak, assembling the majority of global iPhone production. The city is a major railway hub at the intersection of China's two main high-speed rail lines.
