In a recent video on MalaGIS's WeChat Channel showcasing national expressway mileage rankings, viewers noted the data appeared outdated. I've now updated the dataset using official National Bureau of Statistics records. Download the verified figures below.

Visualization Guide

Simple visualization can be achieved in QGIS/ArcGIS. Below is a QGIS example:

Steps:

  1. Load China basemap
  2. Import CSV data
  3. Perform spatial join
  4. Configure graduated symbology

Note: Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan are excluded. To avoid generating non-compliant maps (where missing regions appear blank), I added a reference layer (pink areas in the image).
