The map
Linping is a district of Hangzhou in Zhejiang province, on the flat, water-rich plain north of the city centre. On a map, the land is crossed by canals, streams and ponds, and new districts with regular street grids sit between them. The layout reflects old agricultural waterways as much as recent planning.
The Beijing–Hangzhou Grand Canal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the longest artificial waterways in the world, passes through this part of Hangzhou. Its broad channel stands out among the smaller watercourses. Over the past decades, Linping has grown as a residential and industrial area connected to Hangzhou by expressways and metro lines.
A Linping map poster captures a landscape in which water sets the pattern. Straight new avenues meet winding old channels, and larger blocks of development sit among the older lines of the delta plain. In black and white, the district reads almost like a woven textile, with water and roads crossing each other across the sheet.
The Grand Canal is the widest waterway on the map. It runs through this northern part of Hangzhou and connects the district to one of China's oldest transport routes.
Smaller canals, streams and ponds cover the flat plain in an irregular network. They add fine, organic lines between the straighter streets of newer neighbourhoods.
The recently built areas follow broad, regular street grids. They contrast clearly with the older water-based pattern of the surrounding landscape.

Why Linping
Linping works for anyone who lives in northern Hangzhou, has moved there for work or grew up beside its canals. The map is detailed but calm and looks good in a larger size, where the fine waterways have room to show.
You can personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates line, for example with a moving date or a neighbourhood name. There are five styles: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand. Paper suits the district's waterways well.
