Does the map of China grow from east to west or from north to south?

The map of China is very long from north to south.

The National Map Publishing House published a 20 13 new edition of "The Whole Map of the People and the Country of China", which showed the complete territory of China in the vertical edition, and showed the South China Sea islands and the mainland at the same scale for the first time on the map, showing the land and sea territory of China more truly and intuitively.

Fixed the disadvantages of small land and light sea in horizontal map. Distinguished professor Lu Rude of Dalian Naval Academy interprets the changes and significance of vertical drawings.

The orientation and orientation of China map are generally consistent with other maps, that is, due north orientation (due north orientation above the map). Occasionally, in some cases, such as being influenced by the projection deformation of some maps, or making maps with bird's-eye view in different directions, the true north direction of such China maps may not be above the map.

Extended data:

Vertical Map of People's Republic of China (PRC) is the first large-format and fully open vertical map in China. The South China Sea and islands have the same proportion as the mainland, and the South China Sea islands are no longer represented as illustrations. Detailed geographical information such as islands and reefs in the South China Sea, including dongsha islands, Xisha Islands, zhongsha islands and Nansha Islands in the South China Sea Islands of China. The geographical relationship and administrative divisions of Hainan Province, Hainan Island and South China Sea Islands have become more and more clear on the map.

The vertical version of the world knowledge map is a breakthrough to the traditional horizontal version of the world map, which means that the horizontal version of the map that has been used for more than 400 years is no longer "unified". It overcomes the defect of large deformation of Antarctic and Arctic Ocean on the traditional world map, and at the same time, it shows the north-south direction more intuitively, and the blue sea area is more clear.

The terrain in the map is calculated and generated by all-digital elevation data, and there is no artificial description component. With the method of color layering, the ups and downs of the world's oceans are truly represented.
