Map of the Grand Canal from Beijing to the Yangzi River
The image shows a map with a beige background. A colorful border runs along the top and bottom edges. The map depicts a winding river in green, which dominates the lower half. The river has several bends and branches. A smaller brown river is drawn above the green one, with several small illustrations of buildings along it. There are several small illustrations of buildings and mountains scattered throughout the map. Chinese characters are written vertically along the map. The overall appearance of the map suggests it is an old illustration, possibly hand-drawn.
