Note:
This is a map of the Pearl River with the route from Macau to Guanzhou (Canton). Xiangshan Island is marked as 'Isle de Macao' as was common on western maps of this period, demonstrating the importance of Macau over Xiangshan for foreign trade. On each side of Macau there are two anchors marking the location of the harbors and there are soundings up the Pearl River until Guangzhou. Westerners could not enter the city of Canton, but were confined to a small place in the western section in the western suburbs along the river. On the route there are marked many places that serve as navigational aid, there are Kau Chau Island (Neuf Isles), 'Sinn-gan hien' (Hong Kong), Humen (Bouche du Tigre), the already three famous Pagodas, the Chigang Pagoda (赤岗塔) or Red Stone Pagoda (Tour Tacon), the Pazhou Pagoda (琶洲塔) on the Island of Wampou and the Wenchang Pagoda (莲花塔) or Lotus Pagoda (Tour du Lion). Guangzhou is shown surrounded with forts and divided into 'Ville des Tartares' and 'V. de Chinois'.
