The city stretches along a river valley. Its long, narrow form gives the map a clear direction, with the densest streets on the flat ground.

The map
Dingxi lies on the Loess Plateau in Gansu Province, south-east of Lanzhou. From above, the landscape is the strongest feature. Deeply eroded hills surround the city, and the built-up area follows the valley floor, where the flat ground allows roads, housing and a railway to run side by side.
The region is dry, and much of the farming on the surrounding slopes takes place on terraces cut into the loess. Dingxi is widely known in China for its potatoes, which grow well in these conditions and have become an important part of the local economy.
A Dingxi map poster shows a city shaped by terrain. The long, narrow form of the urban area follows the valley, main roads and the railway run parallel along its length, and the side streets climb only as far as the slopes will allow before the hills take over.
The city stretches along a river valley. Its long, narrow form gives the map a clear direction, with the densest streets on the flat ground.
Eroded hills rise on both sides of the city. On the map the street network stops where they begin, leaving wide open space around the urban area.
Main roads and the railway run side by side through the valley. Together they form the backbone of the map and link Dingxi to the rest of Gansu.

Why Dingxi
Dingxi is home to people with deep ties to the land around it, many of whom now work in larger cities. A map of the valley town is a quiet, personal reminder of where they come from.
Add a title, a subtitle and the coordinates line to make it yours, and choose from Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Sand and Paper suit the colours of the loess country.
