New tourist map

A hand-painted map of Hangzhou especially for tourists was released recently. It was created by a dozen graduates of Zhejiang Sci-Tech University.

The comic map, priced at 8 yuan, was drawn up by Hangzhou Map Culture Creation Company and The First Surveying and Mapping Institute of Zhejiang Province.

With a width of 57 centimeters and length of 86 centimeters, it covers most of Hangzhou's urban area, since it is designed for travelers.

The map goes beyond just roads and famous buildings to include legendary figures from Hangzhou tales. It also includes bus stops.

The map is expected to be made into an app next year for iPad and iPhone users. Thus far, the map is only available in Chinese.
