Features: "The Practical China Map Atlas" is a multi-functional, information-dense, and portable reference atlas. Primarily featuring maps with concise text explanations, it is designed with a comprehensive approach, offering rich and easy-to-understand content. It serves as a reference for travel, business trips, research, and trade, as well as a valuable resource for readers of all levels—officials, workers, farmers, military personnel, and students—to learn about their country and enhance their geographical knowledge. The atlas consists of thematic maps, provincial administrative maps, city maps, text introductions, and a gazetteer with postal codes and area codes. Among them, the provincial maps include 34 pieces, highlighting key elements such as populated areas, water bodies, roads, and boundaries in provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government, and special administrative regions, supplemented with text explanations. The city maps include 44 pieces, in addition to provincial capitals, with an emphasis on including some important medium-sized cities. During the map editing process, we have made every effort to gather the latest data and referred to relevant materials from domestic surveying and mapping departments.
