World Map (1:33000000)(Chinese Edition)

Product Information

China as you can see on China on map has 34 provincial-level administrative units: 23 provinces, 4 municipalities (Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Chongqing as shown on map), 5 autonomous regions (Guangxi, Inner Mongolia, Tibet, Ningxia, Xinjiang) and it has 2 special administrative regions (Hong Kong, Macau). There is still some inaccuracy with this map, however it’s viewed by many as being as close as you can get to an exact equal-area map. Google Maps, along with National Geographic and many other international mapmaking organizations, have opted to split the difference and extend “dashed lines” across both of these contested territories. These lines represent the claimed boundary and the boundary as it is currently administered. From the higher elevations in the west literally thousands of rivers drain the country; the most significant include the Yangtze (third longest river on the planet), and the Heilong (Amur), Mekong, Pearl and Yellow. Provinces of China Map Northern China or North China (simplified Chinese: 华北; traditional Chinese: 華北; pinyin: Huáběi; literally "China's north") is a geographical region of China as its shown in the map of Northern China. The heartland of North China is the North China Plain, or the Yellow River Plain. Currently, the region is defined by the PRC government to include the municipalities of Beijing and Tianjin, the provinces of Hebei and Shanxi, and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

In contrast to the Western world map, the Chinese version shrinks Europe down in size, so does this make it more accurate? Main sights of China: Great Wall of China, Forbidden City, Imperial Palace, The Summer Palace, Terracotta Army, Li River, The Three Gorges on the Yangtze River, Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Xian City Wall, Leshan Giant Buddha, West Lake, Potala Palace, Victoria Harbour (Hong Kong), Shilin Stone Forest, Mogao Caves, Lijiang Old Town, Hanging Monastery of Hengshan, Longmen Grottoes, Pudong Skyline. The Kangxi Emperor of the Qing dynasty (1644–1912) realised that Chinese maps were not accurate enough and required scientific methods for mapping, so he sponsored a national wide geodesy and mapping programme based on astronomical observation and triangulation measurements. The map, which is called Huang Yu Quan Lan Tu (also known as the Jesuit Atlas), took over 10 years to complete from 1708. It was also the first on-the-spot survey map. It had 41 framings based on provincial boundaries and has the following characteristics: Behr, Wolfgang (2007). "Placed into the Right Position — Etymological Notes in Tu and Congeners".

A world map can be defined as a representation of Earth, as a whole or in parts, usually on a flat surface. This is made using different types of map projections (methods) like Mercator, Transverse Mercator, Robinson, Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area, Miller Cylindrical, to name a few. The creation of the world map has been the result of our quest to seek more knowledge about our Earth. The World Map is a three-dimensional depiction of Earth on a two-dimensional plane. World Maps are tools which provide us with varied information about any region of the globe and capture our world in different groups like Ocean Maps (shows the location of oceans), mountain maps (indicates location, name and height of mountains and hills). Similarly, travel maps, continents, country boundaries and many other theme maps have been made available.PDF is one of the oldest and the best electronic formats in the digital world of information due to its reliability and the ease of carrying the format. The PDF format is mainly compatible with all kinds of devices. Some of the kerfuffle has to do with maritime jurisdiction. The Philippines dismissed the map as an attempt “to legitimize China’s purported sovereignty and jurisdiction” over Philippine “maritime zones”; Malaysia denounced its “unilateral claim” to “Malaysian maritime areas in Sabah and Sarawak”; Vietnam claimed it violated “sovereignty, sovereignty rights and jurisdiction rights over Vietnam’s sea regions.” Due to the inflation of both Europe and North America, the Mercator projection’s eurocentrism has been criticised for making these developed countries appear more prominent and important. Whereas underdeveloped, colonised areas such as South America, Africa and South East Asia appear much smaller in comparison to their actual size. Monaco is located on the French Riviera. Monaco is .75 square miles, which is equivalent to two square kilometres. It has the highest population density containing almost 40,000 people. Due to land reclamation, the size of the country may continue to grow over time. Monaco is known for its extravagant palace, gardens, cathedral, the Oceanographic Museum, and, of course, Monaco is most known for its infamous casino.

Since the passage in 2002 of the Surveying and Mapping Law of the People's Republic of China, it has been illegal for foreigners—as well as any unregistered entity—to privately gather GPS data in China. In the vast western reaches of China - mountains, high plateaus and deserts dominate the landscape, while in the central and east areas, the land slopes into broad plains and deltas. China Natural Hazards: China has a wide range of natural hazards that occur in this large country. These include droughts, land subsidence, earthquakes, tsunamis, and damaging floods. In addition, approximately five typhoons strike the southern and eastern coasts each year. The People's Republic of China country map helps you look up information about the contiguous position, boundaries, and topography of China in detail. Peters criticised the Mercator project for making underdeveloped countries look smaller which he stated made them seem less significant.The general shapes of the continents are consistent with more familiar maps, however their orientation isn’t with the continents curving upwards on both sides. Probably the single most identifiable characteristic of China to the people of the rest of the world is the size of its population. Some one-fifth of humanity is of Chinese nationality as its mentioned in China on map. The great majority of the population is Chinese (Han), and thus China is often characterized as an ethnically homogeneous country, but few countries have as wide a variety of indigenous peoples as does China. Greenland is three times bigger than Texas. Greenland is 836 thousand square miles, which is equivalent to 2,166 thousand square kilometres. It is an independent country under the kingdom of Denmark. Inuits live in Greenland, but it has also become an adventure destination now. The population of Greenland is almost 56,000 people. To plan a visit to Greenland, go to visitgreenland.com. Madagascar is located 250 miles from the coast of Africa and is home to some unique wildlife. Madagascar is 227 thousand square miles, which is equivalent to 587 thousand square kilometres. Some of the wilderness does not exist anywhere else in the world. The population of Madagascar is almost 22 million people. To plan a visit to Madagascar, go to johnnyafrica.com.

Nor is this just an idle legal threat. In 2009, the PRC government charged a group of UK geology graduate students who were working in China for “illegal map-making,” issuing substantial fines. In 2014, Coca-Cola was formally charged as having "illegally collected classified information with handheld GPS equipment" in Yunnan province. Twelve independent countries share the continent of South America, plus one French overseas department, French Guiana, and two dependent territories, the Falkland Islands and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands (both British overseas territories). Now after all that technical map talk we thought we’d end with a bit of fun! We’re going to have explore what is considered a well known fact within China, but is very much less well known elsewhere: China looks like a rooster (公鸡 gōngjī)!
