The first 3D atlas of China has been published by Harbin Cartographic Publishing House, the Science and Technology Daily reported on Wednesday.
The publisher has used a unique optical grating material to print some of the map images. The result is that the maps have a 3D appearance when looked at with the naked eye. The atlas provides data on transportation systems, tourists sites, and historical areas around China.
