A Chart of the Bay of Chin-Chew or Chang-Chew in China.
| Article ID | ASC1145 |
Title | A Chart of the Bay of Chin-Chew or Chang-Chew in China. |
Detailed map of the Bay of Zhangzhou in the Province Fujian. The map focuses on the city of Amoy (here spelled Emowi), or modern day Xiamen. Being primarily a nautical chart, the map offers limited inland detail, but the city of Amoy (Xiamen), as well as adjacent points of interest including fortifications, palaces, pagodas, and nearby cities, are rendered pictorially. On the island itself a large mountain, most likely Xianyue Mountain, with a tower, is depicted. Xiamen or Amoy was a place of exceptional interest to European traders as China's main port for the export of tea. | |
