The map
Nantou sits in Nanshan District of Shenzhen, close to Shenzhen Bay. Its heart is Nantou Ancient City, a small historic town that for centuries served as a regional administrative seat. From above, the old town's regular pattern of narrow streets and small blocks stands out clearly against the wide roads and large towers of the modern city around it.
The historic core keeps a cross-shaped arrangement of main lanes, with finer alleys filling the blocks between them. Just outside, urban villages and newer developments press in, and major arterial roads and metro lines cut through the district. Toward the bay, reclaimed land and waterfront parks show how far the shoreline has moved.
A Nantou map poster captures the layers of this place: a compact old town that has survived inside one of the world's fastest-growing cities. Recent restoration has opened the old lanes to visitors, and the district has become a reference point for Shenzhen's history before its rapid modern growth.

Dense clusters of closely built housing surround the old town. On the map they appear as tightly packed blocks separated by very narrow passages.
The bay lies to the south. Reclaimed land and coastal parks line the shore and form a broad open band against the dense streets.
