The map
Xincheng lies in the uplands of southern Gansu, in country where the Loess and Tibetan plateaus meet. The terrain is mountainous, and settlements here grow along valley floors where there is flat ground and water. On a map, that means the town stretches out in a line, following the river and the road rather than spreading in a circle.
The built-up area is modest, with a main street and a handful of side lanes climbing a short way up the slopes. Beyond that, terraced fields and hillsides take over quickly. Roads leading out of town follow valleys and bend with the land, sometimes cutting sharply around spurs of higher ground.
A Xincheng map poster shows a settlement shaped almost entirely by landscape. The line of the valley, the thread of the river and the road beside it, and the thin scatter of buildings along them create a spare, elegant composition. It is a picture of how people live in the mountains of western China, close to the valley floor.
The town extends along the valley bottom, so the street pattern is long and narrow, following the natural corridor between the surrounding hills.
Roads leave the town by following valleys and river courses, bending around ridges. On the map they appear as fine, winding threads across open ground.
Farmland climbs the hillsides beside the town, and the edges of the built-up area give way quickly to open, uneven ground.
