Over the past two decades since the reform and opening-up, China's highway construction has achieved remarkable achievements, especially with expressway mileage ranking second in the world. Highway transportation has become the most convenient and efficient way for people to travel. With the comprehensive advancement of building a moderately prosperous society, people's living standards have continuously improved, the car society has arrived earlier, and the public's travel frequency, methods, scope, and requirements have become more diversified and personalized.
In early 2005, the publication of our China Expressway and Urban-Rural Highway Network Atlas (Detailed Survey Edition) was well-received by many map enthusiasts, and people's travel and transportation distance calculations became more reliable. With authoritative highway data and unique mileage markers, this map collection became a milestone in the map market. To adapt to the rapid development of China's highways and meet the practical needs of readers, after nearly a year of editorial work, we have newly launched the upgraded version of the China Expressway and Urban-Rural Highway Network Atlas (Detailed Survey Edition)—the China Expressway and Urban-Rural Highway Atlas. This atlas not only retains the original authoritative Transport Ministry highway data but also comprehensively updates the map content, primarily including expressways and administrative division information.
At the readers' request, the original design style has been redesigned, and it is now presented to you in a brand-new look! "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step," and we hope to help you plan your travels better!
