The map
Xiaolingwei is a subdistrict of Xuanwu District on the eastern side of Nanjing, where the city meets the slopes of Zijin Shan, the Purple Mountain. Nearby on the mountain lies Xiaoling, the mausoleum of Zhu Yuanzhang, founder of the Ming dynasty. From above, dense city blocks give way abruptly to forest, one of the clearest urban edges in Nanjing.
The name recalls the Ming guard garrison that once protected the mausoleum. Today the area is best known for its universities, including Nanjing University of Science and Technology, whose large, tree-lined campus occupies a significant part of the map. Main roads run east from the old city through the district toward the outer suburbs.
A Xiaolingwei map poster frames the contrast between the planned streets of eastern Nanjing and the soft, wooded mass of Purple Mountain. Campus quads, residential blocks and the green edge of the hills create a layered composition, and in black and white the change from urban grid to open slope is clear and memorable.
To the north, the wooded slopes of Zijin Shan rise above the district, their green mass forming a calm, open area against the dense city streets.
The large grounds of Nanjing University of Science and Technology, with their tree-lined avenues and quads, create a more open pattern within the district.
Main roads run east from central Nanjing through Xiaolingwei, their long, straight lines giving the district a strong east–west direction.
