City poster
Beijing map poster
A capital of nested walls, on a north-south axis.
Beijing is an imperial plan: the Forbidden City on the axis, hutongs in a tight grid around it, and later rings of road where the walls stood.
Shown here in the Antique Ink theme. Antique Ink is a city drawn as a nested square. This preview is a live map: in the studio you can drag it to frame the exact area you want, switch between 30 hand-tuned themes, set your own caption, and download it at print resolution.
