The most populous country in the world and one of the cradles of civilization, China is a leading destination for global travelers. National Geographic's China Adventure Map will lead you not only on your exploration of famous cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou but also as you travel to rural areas looking for hidden gems like parks, mountains and lakes. This expertly researched map covers the diverse country in its entirety and its international borders with 14 sovereign states; the Yellow, East China and South China Seas; the islands of Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao; and the entire Korean Peninsula.

Find your destination with the user-friendly index of cities and towns or look for hundreds of labeled natural, cultural or historical points of interest like national parks and preserves, beaches, ski areas, archeological sites, Buddhist Temples, UNESCO World Heritage sites and sections of the Great Wall.
