Description
"Our Beautiful Motherland" is a 1960 tourism map of China created through collaboration between Russian and Chinese tourism organizations (Intourist and CITS). This colored map with Russian writing documents China during a period of cultural celebration and rapid industrial development.
The map showcases China's culture through detailed illustrations of traditional costumes worn in the different regions. It marks key tourist attractions and represents industrial progress of the era. The cross-cultural Russian-Chinese production offers a perspective rarely found in Western cartography of the time.
This reproduction has been remastered from a digital scan of the original 1960 map. The colors and illustrations function as both historical documentation and visual art. It provides insight into Cold War era cultural exchange between nations.
Please Note: As with all vintage maps, some text may be small and reflect the cartographic conventions of 1960. This map is intended for decorative and historical interest purposes only.
