This map is about traveling West-lake, the famous scenic point of my hometown Hangzhou. I choose a route of journey that I think is the best one to appreciate the beautiful scenery of West-lake. This itinerary begins from Bai Di, a picturesque causeway in West-lake, and ends at Taiziwan Park, which is one of the most beautiful parks in Hangzhou. I guarantee that you will enjoy yourself and fall in love with attractive West-lake if you come to Hangzhou and follow this itinerary.

Neogeography applies many geographical techniques used for personal activities so it is unique and original. The contents of these maps are always very interesting, which are different from other official maps. As a result, neogeography can provide a new perspective for users to explore the resources of a place that they are interested in. However, I think neogeograohy also has some drawbacks. Sometimes the information provided by it is limited. Besides, neogeography contains many personal views so that it may cause some prejudices that can mislead people.
