No title appears on this map; the title applied here is based on content. No scale or legend is given; orientation is marked along the borders on all four sides with north at the bottom. The map depicts geographic features pictorially such as cities, flood seasons, temples, mountains, and islands. Place names are indicated and supplemented with explanatory text. The map covers Xiangshan Peninsula and its surrounding islands, including Nantian. Since Qianlong’s reign, many initiatives for reclaiming Nantian were proposed. In the second year of Daoguang, 1822, a proposal was made to send an administrative official to govern the island. Since this establishment was not shown on the map, this map may have been drawn before 1822.
