Maps and atlases are great tools for getting a feel for the landscape and geographic borders of your destination. Many geographical resources are available to you at UNC-Chapel Hill.

Visit the Davis Library Maps Collection's page for further information on finding maps.

Maps Online

For an extensive collection of online international maps, search the University of Texas's Perry-Castañeda Library Map Collection. Here you can find maps of China.

Believe it or not, you can get driving directions for major Chinese cities through Mapquest. You can also get great city maps. Note that the maps are not complete--only major streets are named.
