Synopsis

Stretching to nearly 4, 000 miles, the Yangzi is the third largest river in the world and without a doubt China s single most important river artery. These high quality hypsometric shaded relief maps feature numerous captions informing the traveller of geographical, cultural and historical facts about the river and surrounding areas along the upper and lower regions of the Yangzi. This map is illustrated with 28 stunning colour photographs by explorer Wong How Man, depicting various scenes found along the river. Along with separate detailed maps of the three major cities located along the Yangzi and a variety of close-ups of the Three Gorges area. Again, with informative captions regarding the surrounding area and the completed dam project, our cartographer has depicted what effect the impending flooding will have on the surrounding territory.
