My Final Project!!! ^_^
Ya!!! Above is my final project map ^_^
I am glad that it turned out to be very nice!As you can see,I made a tourist map for my famous,lovely hometown - Sichuan,which is located in the southwestern part of China.
In fact, this final map is quite different from other previous map makings, instead of duplicating what I have done before, I tried to make a tourist map for the first time.I also made all the text on the map both English and Chinese, besides, I made the graphic scales in different units regarding the different conventional use of Americans and Chinese. I hope you all like it! AND, IMPORTANTLY, WELCOME TO SICHUAN, CHINA!!!
^_^Additional information:
Major data source(including the text) is from Travel China Guide-City Guide-Chengdu.
Other sources:
I retrieved the base map for Sichuan as well as the inset map from Sichuan Youth Tourist Agency, China.
I got most of my photos from Travel China Guide-City Guide-Chengdu. I also got some other photos from 2007 World Cultural and Natural Heritage Exposition, Shenyang, China. and Net Ease Travel.
I got my map scale according to the calculation based on the map scale offered by Zhongding Tourist Agency.
