This is a nautical chart of a part of the Southeast coast of China with the Island of Taiwan (Formosa). Characteristic of nautical charts the map focus on waterways and inshore areas, and so quite a number of soundings are given as well as some inshore toponyms while the interior remains mostly blank. The soundings are especially concentrated on the Taiwan Strait and around the Penghu islands as the east coast of Taiwan remains mostly blank, the same is true for toponyms on the island. Most of the toponyms are in English which may denote an English author of the chart.
