The portable guidebook has two parts, a picture album and a map.
The pictures cover fine dining, residential lane culture, foreign architecture, the old town and shopping venues. It includes tourist tips, public transport information and notes about traditional Chinese festivals in Shanghai.
It has taken almost eight months for the guidebook's team to assemble the latest and most useful tourism information.
"With hand-painted design and detailed introductions, the colorful guidebook caters to foreigners' tastes and reading habits," says Yang. "Its innovation map design and presentation of content provides the most wanted information for tourists and expats."
He says the survey and map institute will continue to publish new map products in anticipation of a tourism peak predicted when Shanghai Disneyland is completed in the next few years.
