The Beijing English Map includes both digital and printed versions. The digital map covers categories such as administrative divisions, natural features, transportation, government institutions, international organizations, education and culture, healthcare, sports and leisure, residential areas, and commercial facilities, with over 30,000 annotations in total.
The digital map also includes six additional thematic sections with over 4,000 annotations, such as bank card services and SIM card services, offering convenient information for foreigners visiting, working and living in Beijing.
The printed map notably marks historical landmarks like the Beijing Central Axis. The digital version of the printed map is available for free download on the Map World website.
