China capital city’s municipal authorities have introduced an English-language map of Beijing aimed at improving travel services for international visitors to the city. This map is currently undergoing a one-month trial period on the Beijing Platform for Common Geospatial Information Services.
The English Map of Beijing is available in both digital and printed formats. The digital version encompasses various categories, including administrative divisions, natural features, transportation, government institutions, international organizations, education and culture, healthcare, sports and leisure, residential areas, and commercial facilities, featuring over 30,000 annotations in total.
Additionally, the digital map offers six thematic sections with more than 4,000 annotations, providing essential information on services such as bank card and SIM card options, thereby facilitating the experience of foreigners residing in, working in, or visiting Beijing.
The printed map prominently highlights historical sites, including the Beijing Central Axis. Furthermore, the digital counterpart of the printed map can be downloaded free of charge from the Map World website.
Throughout the trial period, feedback will be gathered to enhance and expand the content of the map.
