Hello;
For the Yangtse, a good map is the "Illustrated Yangzi River Map" by
Airphoto International, in conjunction with China Exploration & Research
Society (ISBN 962-217-715-8, distributed through Odyssey Publications,
$14.95). On one side is a map of the entire Yangzi River, with snippets of
information noted along the route. A 7 x 9.5 inch inset map shows the
Three Gorges area from Fengile to Yichang and notes the location/names of
gorges and the twelve peaks of Wu Gorge. The reverse side of the map has a
map showing the River from Chongqing to Yichange, including the Three
Gorges. This map shows the locations of historic sites, gorges, and peaks
plus snippets of information notated on the map. Inset maps are included
for Shanghai, Wuhan, and Chongqing, along with several color photos, a
satellite image, and descriptive text. Our catalog number 64-40719, in
stock.
Thanks
Russell Guy
