China: The Shanhai Yudi Quantu world map drawn by Wang Qi (1529-1612) c. 1607

The Shanhai Yudi Quantu (山海輿地全圖) was produced in late Ming Dynasty China and shows China dominating the left side of this circular map. It is taken from the Sancai Tuhui (Shanghai, 1609) and is a remarkably accurate world map.
