Shanghai to Lhasa • Taiwan & Hainan Included • Double-Sided • Regional + City Detail

China is vast — and while a full-country map is useful, it simply can’t deliver meaningful detail across such an enormous landscape. The China South ITMB Map solves that problem by focusing on the most travelled, culturally rich, and geographically diverse half of the country — from the modern skyline of Shanghai, south through the coastal provinces, and westward across inland China to Lhasa in Tibet.

This is a map built for travellers who want clarity, context, and practical navigation across one of the most important regions in Asia.

🗺️ A Complete View of Southern China

This map provides extensive coverage of southern China, including:

• The eastern seaboard from Shanghai southward
• The Pearl River Delta — one of the world’s largest urban regions
• Inland provinces extending toward Yunnan and Tibet
• The Tibetan Plateau reaching to Lhasa
• Taiwan and Hainan Island, included for full geographic context

The inclusion of Tibet and Taiwan is purely geographic, ensuring travellers can understand how the wider region connects spatially — essential for route planning and regional awareness.

🧭 Two Maps in One — Regional Overview + City Detail

Side 1 — Southern China Regional Map (1:3,000,000)

The primary side presents a wide-area overview of southern China, ideal for planning long-distance travel.

It clearly shows:

• Major cities and regional centres
• National highways and road networks
• Railway corridors, including long-distance routes
• Airports, ports, and border crossings
• Terrain shading and elevation colouring
• Distances between key destinations

This side is perfect for understanding how the region fits together — whether you’re planning a multi-city journey, business travel, or an overland route.

Side 2 — Detailed Insets & Urban Mapping

The reverse side transforms the map into a highly practical travel tool, featuring detailed inset maps at much larger scales.

Included are:

• Hong Kong Region — approx. 1:60,000
• Central Hong Kong & Kowloon — approx. 1:10,000
• Guangzhou Region — approx. 1:850,000
• Guangzhou City — approx. 1:15,000
• Shanghai City — approx. 1:16,000
• Additional insets for Taiwan and Hainan

These city maps highlight major streets, transport routes, and key tourist areas, making them extremely useful for navigating dense urban environments.

🌏 A Region of Diversity & Contrast

Southern China is one of the most varied regions in the world, offering:

• Ultra-modern megacities like Shanghai and Guangzhou
• Subtropical coastlines and island destinations
• Karst landscapes around Guilin and Guangxi
• Historic trade routes and cultural centres
• High-altitude terrain approaching Tibet and the Himalaya

This diversity makes the map invaluable for travellers exploring multiple environments — from coastal cities to remote inland regions.
