Mapping: Central and South West Highland China (References)

[Chuc]

Hey all,
Here's a nice big reference pack from a recent China trip I went on, with over 300 photos of the central Chinese countryside, rural towns, communities and small cities as well as a few tourist spots.

If you're making a map based in central-ish China, have a look at these photos to get a more realistic conception of the region.

Huashan region, including the city at the base of Huashan

Luoyang city and the countryside + roads around

Road to Xian, lots of villages and rural towns

UPDATE - 12/2010

Just come back from another trip, but this time to the south west of the country, to the western end of Yunnan Province, near the border with Tibet. It's pretty high up and it also being winter, the terrain is seen differently from other places in China.

The villages have a strong Tibetan influence.
