The raised river forms a wide, calm body of water along the town, a strong smooth shape against the steep terrain around it.

The map
Wushan lies in the far northeast of Chongqing, on the Yangtze at the entrance to Wu Gorge, one of the Three Gorges. On a map, the town is squeezed between steep mountains and the water. Its streets climb the slopes in tight switchbacks and terraces, and the wide reservoir surface gives a clear edge along the foot of the town.
The Three Gorges Dam raised the water level of the Yangtze, and much of old Wushan was flooded and rebuilt on higher ground. The Daning River joins the Yangtze here, and its own narrow valleys, known as the Lesser Three Gorges, are a popular trip by boat. Wushan is also a starting point for cruises through Wu Gorge.
A Wushan map poster shows a town shaped almost entirely by relief and water. There is little flat ground. Streets are folded into the hillsides, bridges cross the rivers and the reservoir forms a smooth, broad shape. In monochrome, the contrast between dense, winding streets and open water is dramatic.
The raised river forms a wide, calm body of water along the town, a strong smooth shape against the steep terrain around it.
Roads climb the mountainside in tight curves and hairpins, stacking neighbourhoods in layers above the water.
The Daning River joins the Yangtze at the town, its narrow valley leading north towards the Lesser Three Gorges.

Why Wushan
Travellers who have cruised the Three Gorges, and people from Chongqing whose families remember old Wushan before the flooding, will find this map meaningful. It records a town that literally moved uphill.
Personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates line, perhaps with Chinese characters or a travel date. Choose from five styles: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Blueprint emphasises the water and mountain lines well.
