The map
Shuozhou lies in the northern part of Shanxi Province, in a high basin near the upper reaches of the Sanggan River. The land here is dry and open, and the loess country stretches toward the Inner Mongolian border. On a map the city appears as a planned urban area with wide straight avenues, surrounded by farmland and open land.
The central districts are divided by broad arterial roads into large blocks, typical of Chinese cities rebuilt and expanded in recent decades. Rail lines serving the coal industry cross the region, and they appear as long, gently curving lines. Toward the edges, the regular city pattern gives way to villages, fields and the terraced slopes of the loess hills.
The area around Shuozhou has long been a frontier region, and remains of Great Wall sections lie within the prefecture. Its best-known landmark is the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda at Fogong Temple, built in 1056 and often described as the oldest fully wooden pagoda in China. A Shuozhou map poster shows the modern city's clear geometry against the open northern landscape.
Wide straight roads divide the city into large, regular blocks. The result is a strong, orderly composition that reads clearly even from a distance.
Rail lines built for the region's coal industry cut long lines across the landscape. Their gentle curves contrast with the city's right angles.
Around the city, farmland and dry open land stretch in every direction. The urban area is a clearly bounded shape within a spare landscape.

Why Shuozhou
Shuozhou is a home city for many people who have moved to Beijing, Taiyuan or further afield. A map of its streets keeps a connection to northern Shanxi and to a landscape of frontier walls and old pagodas.
You can personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates, for example with the Chinese name and a family year. Choose from Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Sand reflects the colours of the loess country.
