Author Description

This updated map of rapidly-changing Shanghai has been enhanced in this edition by being printed on ITM waterproof plastic paper and by the addition of a separate map on the reverse side of all of South East China. The regional map covers from Nanning to Beijing, so perhaps covers a wider area than just Fujian and Guangdong provinces, but this is a much more detailed map than anything we have attempted before, and is an excellent aid to anyone based in Shanghai and thinking of travelling to Xi'an, or Guilin, as well as closer destinations. The Shanghai side has been updated with the latest road and subway additions including, for the first time on any map, the route of the new MAGLEV line being built through the southern part of the city. Folded, indexed road and travel map. Side one shows a map of central Shanghai. Legend includes Shanghai metro/subway lines, elevated rail transit lines, intercity mainline railways, MAGLEV high-speed train lines, parks/plazas, attractions/shopping streets, accommodations, museums, temples, points of tourist interest, live theatres, hospitals, malls, bus terminals, river ferry docks. Includes inset map of Shanghai region and Shanghai public transport map. Side two shows a map of China south east. Distinguishes roads ranging from expressways to other roads. Legend includes railways, highspeed railways, Great Wall, parks, wildlife reserves, nature reserves, points of interest, ruins, international/domestic airports.
