The Bird‘s Nest, Shanghai‘s Lujiazui, the Three Gorges Dam, China’s Eye of Heaven, Canton Tower and More — How Maps Tell the Story of China‘s Most Iconic Modern Structures
This is not a travel guide, and it is not a textbook on architecture. It is a book that uses maps to show you where China‘s newest landmarks are—and what they mean. You move from region to region: Beijing’s Daxing Airport and the Bird‘s Nest, Tianjin’s “Eye” ferris wheel, Shanghai’s Bund and Lujiazui skyline, the Three Gorges Dam and China’s massive radio telescope in the west, Guangzhou’s Canton Tower, and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge that connects three cities across the sea. Along the way, you see how these structures carry both modern technology and older ideas—how a new building can echo a traditional one, and how a bridge or a railway can reshape a region. If you want to understand China‘s contemporary landscape through its most ambitious builds—rather than read a travel guide or a dense engineering study—this is it.

Detail

Discover the China beyond the postcard images.

For readers overseas, China is often seen as an ancient civilization. But there is another China—one of record-breaking bridges, futuristic skyscrapers, and bold architectural experiments. China on the Map: China's New Landmarks opens a window onto that side of the country.

Through vivid photography and concise English text, this book profiles dozens of contemporary landmarks that define modern China. You'll tour:

  • Beijing's Daxing International Airport (the "starfish") and the 798 Art Zone

  • Shanghai's skyline from the Bund to Lujiazui

  • The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, the world's longest sea-crossing bridge

  • The Three Gorges Dam and Xichang Satellite Launch Center

  • And hidden gems like Suzhou's Pingjiang Road and Chengdu's Kuanzhai Alley-21-23

More than a coffee-table book, this is a compact guide for anyone curious about how China builds, designs, and reinvents itself. Whether you are a traveler planning your next trip, an architecture enthusiast, or a reader who wants to understand the forces shaping today's China, this book offers a clear, visual, and accessible answer.
