Features: In the original map of "Complete Map of Beiping City," one grid represents one Chinese li. Compiled by Su Jiarong and published by Rixin Geographical Society. This map is rich in content, with the main map detailing and realistically depicting numerous streets and hutongs. Illustrations include: "Complete Map of Pingjinbao Area," "Summer Palace," "Scenic Spots in Western Hills," "Beihai Park," "The Palace Museum," "Electric Tram Route and Station Names," and "Beijing Ground Police District Map." Photos include: "Temple of Heaven Qianqin Hall," "Temple of Heaven Circular Establishment," "Zhengyangmen East Station," "Five Towers Outside Zhengyangmen," "Chongwenmen Avenue," and "White Pagoda in Beihai Park." The abundant geographical information and scientific layout are impressive even today. However, the map lacks a publication date and legend, and is estimated to have been created in the 1930s of the Republic of China. Su Jiarong graduated from Peking University, worked at Peking University, and was the founder of Rixin Geographical Society. During the Republic of China period, he compiled and published many maps. For easier reading, the map was enlarged by 1.30 times, but the scale was unchanged to preserve the original appearance of the map.
