Although Shanghai is not the largest city in China (that record belongs to Chongching), at 24,000,000 plus people, it is an enormous area. It is one of the best-known of china's mega-cities, situated on the Huangpu River, close to the ocean.
The map covers the urban area from the main railway station in the north to the Xuhui area in the south and from East China university campus to the Maglev station in the east. An inset map shows the Maglev route to Pudong International Airport.
The touristic core of Shanghai is portrayed in excellent detail. The Bund, along the riverfront, is well-known, all the streets in the Old Town are shown, as is the main shopping district along Nanking Road. Ferry routes along the river are shown, as well as a good selection of hotels. The various rapid transit lines are also shown.
The reverse side of the map portrays most of eastern China, from Beijing to Hong Kong to Xi'an in the west. China is evolving quite rapidly and has constructed a complex series of motorways and super-speed train lines in recent years. These are all shown in very good detail. The map also includes the island of Taiwan, claimed by China, but independent. The regional map covers the area of interest for the vast majority of visitors to China, including two dozen mega-cities of more than 5 million people each.

Gloss Laminate
Gloss laminate makes colours look more vibrant and stand out more, but is quite shiny (reflective). If you’re planning on using a marker of any sort, this is a better choice because it’s easier to clean. Your print will be fully encapsulated (so laminated on both sides) in durable 80 micron laminate and will last you a lot longer than plain paper.
Matte Laminate
Matte laminate has a smooth, non-reflective, very classy looking surface. I wouldn’t say it dulls colours, but it doesn’t make them ‘pop’ (I hate that I just used that word) in the way that gloss does. Matte can be drawn on with pencil (and erased), but is harder to clean if you use markers. Your print will be fully encapsulated (so laminated on both sides) in durable 80 micron laminate and will last you a lot longer than plain paper.
Canvas
Everything looks better on canvas! Something about the texture really makes prints look wonderful. It is quite expensive though. We use a very high quality 340gsm artistic matte canvas. Your canvas print will come rolled with a roughly 50mm white border to allow you to have it stretched or mounted however you wish.
