The confluence
The Zhen and Wu rivers meet at the southern tip of the old town peninsula. It is the natural centre point of any Shaoguan print and the most recognisable shape on the map.

The map
Shaoguan sits in the mountainous north of Guangdong, where the Zhen River and the Wu River join to form the Bei River, the North River that flows south towards the Pearl River Delta. The old centre occupies the tongue of land between the two rivers, so from above the heart of the city looks like an arrowhead pointing downstream.
Bridges tie the peninsula to the districts on the opposite banks, and newer neighbourhoods spread along the river valleys wherever the terrain allows. Green hills press in closely, so the built-up area extends in long fingers rather than a single mass. The mix of water, slopes and bridges gives the map a strong shape that reads clearly even at the smallest print sizes.
The region is known for Danxia Mountain, the red sandstone landscape that gave its name to a whole type of landform and is part of a UNESCO World Heritage site. South of the city stands Nanhua Temple, associated with Huineng, the Sixth Patriarch of Chan Buddhism. A Shaoguan map poster keeps the focus on the city itself: the confluence, the bridges and the valleys.
The Zhen and Wu rivers meet at the southern tip of the old town peninsula. It is the natural centre point of any Shaoguan print and the most recognisable shape on the map.
Several bridges cross from the peninsula to the surrounding banks. They show as short, firm strokes that stitch the separate districts together.
Newer districts follow the river valleys outward, forming elongated patches of streets between wooded hills that stay empty on the poster.
