"This is Chongqing - Atlas of Weekly Maps"
How much do you know about Chongqing geography?
"A lot of the content is the team step by step"
"A lot of the content in the book is our professional team climbing mountains and wading through the water, step by step," Zhang Haipeng said of this, and threw out a cold knowledge: Do you know where the highest peak in the central urban area of Chongqing is located?
In the minds of many elderly people in Chongqing, the highest peak in the central urban area is either the Beibei Jinyun Mountain or the South Mountain on the south bank.
However, according to data released by the former State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping in 2009, the altitude of Jinyun Mountain's highest peak, Qizikou, is 950.3 meters, which is far from the "highest".
Zhang Haipeng tells the story behind the atlas
"In 2016, after measurement by the relevant team, the large sand soil liangzi located at the junction of Cizhu Town in Yubei District of the central urban area, Linshui County and Huaying City in Sichuan Province was determined to be the highest peak in the central urban area of Chongqing." Zhang Haipeng introduced that compared with jinyun mountain, Nanshan, which are well-known famous mountains, the big sand and soil beams can be described as lonely and nameless.
"In order to strengthen the professionalism of the contents of the book, our team visited in person." Zhang Haipeng said that at that time, the technical staff found through analysis and calculation that many peaks in the Huaying Mountain area in the northern part of the central city were more than 1200 meters above sea level, and finally based on the analysis and search of aerial photogrammetry data of the 1:5000 scale topographic map, the peak was located at an altitude of about 1421.4 meters.
