Guangzhou & China Southeast, International Travel Map

Double-sided map of China South in scale 1:3 mio. and Guangzhou in 1:15.000. Insert maps of Shanghai 1:16.000, Hong Kong Region 1:60.000, Kowloon/Hong Kong 1:10.000 and Guangzhou Metro Map. This map celebrates the largest city in southern China; one that is easy to reach from Hong Kong and is the beehive of Cantonese China that remains alive to this day as the focal point for the Han people, many of whom have been the ‘Chinese’ seen so often in North America. The city is gargantuan in size, but has three focal points for visitors. The first is the Sun Yat Sen Memorial Museum, which is a must-see for anyone hoping to understand China. The second is Samian Island, the former Western trading post that defined the city (and the country) in its early dealing with the world at large, and the third is the Canton Tower, representing today’s China. Side 2 represents the most detailed and accurate portrayal of southern China in print. Stretching from Kunming in the southwest along the coast to Shanghai west to the edge of Tibet, it includes a maze of motorways joining Guangzhou to all the major urban areas in Southern China. Xi’an, Wuhan, Changsha, Nanning, Guilin, Chongqing, Chengdu, Wuxi, Nanjing, and Suzhou may not be names familiar to most of you, but they are the future of travel as China re-opens to the world. This is an amazing map of the most important country in today’s world.
