Qingshui River bend
The river sweeps around the old town in a broad curve. That curve is the organising line of the whole map, and every street seems to answer to it.

The map
About this Xiasi map poster
Xiasi lies in Majiang County, in south-eastern Guizhou, on the upper reaches of the Qingshui River. Seen from above, the river sets the plan. The historic town follows a bend of the water, with narrow lanes running parallel to the bank and short passages leading down to it. Beyond the river, the hills close in, and fields and roads settle into the valleys between them.
For centuries Xiasi was a river port, a point where goods moved between upland Guizhou and the waterways that lead toward Hunan. The old quarter, with its stone lanes and riverside buildings, has since been restored as an ancient town. On the map that history appears as a finer, denser grain of streets than the newer districts around it.
A Xiasi map poster brings out the relationship between water and settlement that shaped the place. The river's curve gives the composition a natural centre, and the surrounding karst hills leave soft, open space at the edges. It is a quiet, balanced map, well suited to the Paper or Sand styles, where the river line stays clear without dominating.

Old port quarter
The historic core has a dense mesh of narrow lanes near the water, noticeably finer than the wider roads of the later town.
Valley roads
Outside the centre, roads follow the valley floors between the hills, winding with the terrain rather than running on a grid.
