China Geographic Regional Partition Data: SHP Vector Files

Following my previous article "This Certification is Highly Valuable for GIS Job Seekers, Yet Overlooked by Many", which helped numerous GIS professionals advance their careers, a middle school geography teacher recently requested vector data for China's geographic regional partitions for classroom presentations. After research, I'm sharing this valuable dataset.

Updated 2024 Administrative Division Data with Official Approval Number GS(2024)0650

Building upon our previous sharing of district/county-level administrative division data, we now provide the 2024 updated version sourced from China's official platform. This dataset addresses limitations in earlier versions (e.g., data gaps, insufficient detail) while maintaining cartographic compliance.

Python Workflows for GIS Data Conversion: WKT, Shapefiles

During development of a grid management system, I initially planned to use PostgreSQL for storing grid WKT data (for direct SHP export and map service publishing). Due to incompatibility with backend framework requirements, I switched to MySQL. This necessitated converting MySQL-stored WKT to Shapefiles. The solution: Java scheduled tasks invoking Python scripts to automate conversion. Below are the code implementations.
