confucius Posted May 29, 2003 at 04:50 PM Report Share Posted May 29, 2003 at 04:50 PM Chinese National Geography is a monthly magazine that looks like a red copy of National Geographic. I get many ideas for my travels from this publication and once in a while they include spectacular maps. Last year's highlights included full issues dedicated to Xinjiang (January) Shanxi (June) and Yunnan (October) ; all with maps! :o When the UFO landing site controversy started in Qinghai last summer CNG sent a team of experts there right away and were on top of the story with a scientific explanation soon published afterwards. You can get it for 16 yuan at most subway station kiosks and other newsstands around Beijing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wix Posted May 30, 2003 at 10:31 AM Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 at 10:31 AM Confucius, being something of a geography buff I took your advice and laid down my 16 kuai at a local magazine vendor. I got the June 2003 edition which has a special feature on the Three Gorges Dam and Yangtze River. I can't read Chinese very well, but the pictures are awesome. There are a number of beautiful fold-outs. There is also a huge fold-out map of the Yangtze with a topographic map on one side and a stylish illustrated map on the other side. As you can tell I am quite impressed. The Chinese name of the magazine is Zhongguo Guojia Dili or 中国国家地理 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
