This map of China extends Great Wall of China in the north, to Beijing and Korea until Canton and Macau, but also includes Taiwan. The map illustrates the Dutch expedition to China led by Johan Nieuhof between 1655-1657. This was the second of six Dutch embassies to Beijing between 1655 and 1685 hoping to convince the Qing emperor to open up trade relations on the southern coast. The Dutch East India Company (VOC), tried to break the Portuguese monopoly over the China Trade. Nieuhof's duties primarily consisted of ceremonial matters, however was also specifically appointed to illustrate any and all of the cities, palaces, temples, rivers and other noteworthy buildings in their true-to-nature form. The reports from these embassies and the reports of the Jesuits formed the only reliable source of information on China available in Western Europe. In fact, on the map most of the inland is blank with only the Province names, however the river course from Guangzhou to Beijing is filled with place names along the way.
