Tabula
Baidi lies in Fengjie County in the northeast of Chongqing Municipality, at the western entrance to the Three Gorges of the Yangtze. Here the river turns from a broad valley into the narrow Qutang Gorge, and the map records that change dramatically: wide water upstream, then a sudden pinch between steep mountains.
The town is built on the slopes above the river, its streets climbing in terraces and switchbacks rather than following a grid. Since the Three Gorges Dam raised the water level, the Yangtze here has become wider and calmer, turning Baidicheng, the old White Emperor City, into a small island linked to the shore by a bridge.
A Baidi map poster brings together terrain, river and a long literary tradition. The White Emperor City appears in Li Bai's famous poem about leaving Baidi at dawn, and the Kuimen gate of Qutang Gorge is pictured on the ten-yuan banknote. On the map, the gorge and the bending river make one of the most expressive shapes in China.
East of the town the Yangtze squeezes between cliffs into the first of the Three Gorges, a sharp narrowing that becomes the dramatic focal point of the poster.
The hill of the White Emperor City, now surrounded by the raised river, appears as a small island joined to the bank, a clear and memorable shape.
Roads on the hillsides switch back and forth to climb the slopes, creating looping, contour-like lines very different from a flat city grid.
