The map
Shimen lies within the Chongqing municipality in southwest China, a region defined by steep hills, river valleys and terraced land. On a map the settlement forms a compact cluster, with roads bending to follow the contours of the ground. Very little here runs straight, and that gives the drawing a distinctive, flowing character.
Around the built-up area, the land is divided into small plots and scattered hamlets, typical of the hill country outside Chongqing's main city. Minor roads climb and descend between them, often winding in tight curves. In black and white these lines resemble contour drawings, even though they are simply the routes people have taken for generations.
A Shimen map poster is a picture of rural Chongqing on a small scale. It offers no famous skyline, but the way the streets respond to the terrain is quietly beautiful and specific to this corner of the country. It suits anyone with family ties to the area.

The settlement's core is small and dense, standing out as a darker cluster among the lighter, more scattered rural surroundings.
Small groups of buildings are dotted across the surrounding hillsides, linked by minor tracks that fill the edges of the poster with fine detail.

Why Shimen
For people whose families come from Shimen, now living in Chongqing city or further away, the map keeps a connection to the land itself. The curving roads make it an unusually graceful poster.
You can personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates line, for example with the family name or a year, and choose from five styles: Classic black and white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand.
