The map
Xiaomian lies in the hilly countryside of Chongqing municipality, north of the main urban area, in a landscape of ridges, valleys and terraced fields typical of the eastern Sichuan Basin. From above, very little here runs straight. Roads follow the contours in tight bends and switchbacks, and the town has grown into whatever level ground the terrain allows.
The built-up area is fairly compact, with a denser core along the main roads and housing climbing gently onto the slopes around it. Beyond the town, the map is dominated by rural lanes, small ponds and scattered farmhouses spread across the hillsides. Streams run in the valley bottoms, and the pattern of settlement follows them closely.
A Xiaomian map poster turns that restless terrain into a graphic image. The coiling roads, ponds and small clusters of buildings create a rich, organic texture in monochrome, very different from the planned grids of larger Chinese cities. It is a map that rewards close looking, especially for someone who knows the roads by heart.
Roads curl around hillsides and along ridges in long, looping bends, drawing the shape of the terrain directly onto the map.
The main streets gather on the flatter ground of the valley, forming a compact centre that stands out against the surrounding hills.
Small ponds and farmland scattered over the slopes add dots and irregular shapes, giving the countryside a detailed, handmade quality.

Why Xiaomian
Many people from rural Chongqing now live in large cities far from home, and a map of Xiaomian brings back the winding roads of the place they left. It is a modest, meaningful piece for a living room.
