About this Taishan map poster

Taishan lies in the Jiangmen area of western Guangdong, between the Pearl River Delta and the South China Sea. Its urban centre, Taicheng, sits on low ground surrounded by green hills, and the map shows a dense older core of narrow streets. Around it lie newer districts of broader avenues. Beyond the city, the county reaches the coast and several offshore islands, including Shangchuan.

Taishan is known worldwide as an ancestral home of overseas Chinese. From the nineteenth century onward, many of the early Chinese communities in North America came from here, and Taishanese long served as a common language in Chinatowns abroad. Money sent home by emigrants helped build the Xinning Railway in the early twentieth century and many of the arcaded shophouse streets still found in the town.

A Taishan map poster links two worlds. For those who still live there, it shows the everyday street map of home. For descendants of emigrants living across the Pacific, it shows a place many know mostly through family stories. The dense old core and the hills around it make a clear composition that is easy to recognise.

01

Arcaded old streets

The historic centre of Taicheng is a tight network of streets lined with arcaded shophouses. On the poster it appears as the densest, finest-grained part of the frame.

02

Surrounding hills

Green hills rise around the town, leaving open, lightly drawn areas at the edges of the map. They clearly separate the urban core from the countryside.

03

Newer districts

Wider avenues and larger blocks extend beyond the old core. They show how the city has grown outward in recent decades.

Why Taishan

A map that means something

For families whose grandparents or great-grandparents left Taishan for San Francisco, Vancouver or New York, a map of the ancestral hometown can be a meaningful piece to hang. It is a way of acknowledging a place that shaped the family, even from far away.

Add a family surname, a village name or a year of emigration to the title, subtitle or coordinates line, and choose one of five styles: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Printed posters ship from partners in more than 30 countries.
