The legend explains symbols in Hungarian, German, English, and French.  A climate chart shows the average temperatures each month in Celsius and Fahrenheit, plus the number of rainy days per month, for thirteen cities throughout China and Mongolia.

ITM China travel map
Detailed travel map printed on two sides.  One side shows the western half of the country, the reverse the eastern half.  Graduated color tints mark the elevation of the terrain.  (See sample at right.)  Unlike an older edition of this map, names are given in Roman letters only, with no Chinese characters.  The map shows main railways, major and secondary roads, canals, ports, deserts, swamps, the Great Wall, and other features.  Point-to-point distances along many roads are indicated in kilometers.  A little less detail in neighboring countries is shown.

An inset shows the main streets of central Beijing.  A comprehensive index helps you find the place names on the map.  The legend explains symbols in English only.

Scale, 1:3,800,000 (1 inch = about 60 miles).  Size: about 26½ x 38 inches.  Folded.  Paper.

ITM Beijing, China street and regional road map
Detailed street and road map printed on two sides.  On one side is the street map showing most of Beijing, and depicting major streets, prominent buildings and institutions, parks, and more.  

On the reverse is a road map of the region surrounding Beijing, extending about 12 miles south of the city, about 16 miles west, about 24 miles north, and about 20 miles east.  Color tints show general elevation levels (though unfortunately, the mapmakers neglected to provide a key to what elevation levels each color represents).  The existing and former locations of the Great Wall are represented.  The map clearly distinguishes expressways, state highways, major and minor roads, and railways.  Also shows points of interest, tempes, airports, and more.  (See sample at right.)   The legend explains these symbols, but they neglected to provide a bar scale.  The cover indicates that the scale for this side as expressed as a ratio is 1:100,000, but most users will have little idea of what that means without further explanation (which I provide below!).  Separate indices are provided for both the regional map and the city map.

Scale of city map, 1:20,000 (1 inch = about 0.3 mile); scale of regional map, 1:100,000 (1 inch = about 1.6 miles).  Size: about 39 x 26½ inches.  Folded.  Paper.

 Taiwan

International Travel Maps Taiwan travel map
Fairly detailed travel map printed on one side only.  Elevation levels of the island nation are depicted by the use of graduated color tints.  Roads of different classes are distinguished, though not as boldly as I would prefer; the railways actually stand out better on the map than do the roads.  (See detail at right.)  Also shows national parks, mountain peaks (with "altitude in feets"), airports, places of interest, and beaches.  There are helpful notes in several places on the map which describe places worth visiting and often a bit of history, too.

A large inset shows the main streets and important buildings of Taipei.  A smaller inset does the same for Tainan.  An index included helps you locate the numerous cities and towns on the map.  Text and legend are in English only.

Scale, 1:386,000 (1 inch = about 6.1 miles).  Size: about 26½ x 39 inches.  Folded.  Glossy paper.

Tibet

Map Link Tibet travel map
Detailed travel map printed on two sides.  The map itself is on one side, and shows not only the Tibet Autonomous Region of China, but also large portions of adjacent regions, including all of Nepal and Bhutan, and parts of northern India.  Almost as large a portion of non-Tibetan China is shown as Tibet itself, an area rarely covered in such detail on travel maps.  The map is vividly colored with the land tinted according to major elevation levels.  

Shows roads of all classes, tracks and paths, and railways.  Point to point distances along major roads are indicated in kilometers.  Also plotted are glaciers, lakes, salt lakes, salt flats, deserts, national parks, palaces, monasteries and temples, historical sites, muesums, and much more.  An unusual and helpful feature is that major place names are shown not only in standard Roman transliteration, but are also shown in Tibetan and/or Chinese characters.  Symbols are explained in Tibetan, English, German, French, Italian, Russian, Hungarian, and Chinese.

On the reverse side is a comprehensive place name index.

Scale, 1:2,000,000 (1 inch = about 31.5 miles).  Size: about 49 x 33 inches.  Folded.  Glossy paper.
