Module Contents¶

easyclimate_map.map.map_zh_CN.get_zh_CN_nation(type: Literal['line', 'polygon'] = 'line') → geopandas.GeoDataFrame¶

Get China national boundary data in either line or polygon format.

This function returns geographic boundary data for China’s national borders. The data includes mainland China’s coastline and land borders with neighboring countries.

Parameters¶

type{“line”, “polygon”}, default “line”: Geometry type to return: - “line”: Boundary lines (coastlines and land borders) - “polygon”: Polygonal representation of China’s territory

Returns¶

geopandas.GeoDataFrame: GeoDataFrame containing China’s national boundary features. The CRS is typically EPSG:4326 (WGS84).

Notes¶

Data source: Standard Chinese cartographic data
Encoding: GB2312 (Chinese character encoding)
Includes territories claimed by China (e.g., Taiwan, South China Sea islands)

easyclimate_map.map.map_zh_CN.get_zh_CN_provinces(type: Literal['line', 'polygon'] = 'line') → geopandas.GeoDataFrame¶

Get China provincial-level administrative boundary data.

Returns boundary data for all provincial-level divisions in China, including: - 23 provinces - 5 autonomous regions - 4 municipalities - 2 special administrative regions (Hong Kong, Macau)

Parameters¶

type{“line”, “polygon”}, default “line”: Geometry type to return: - “line”: Provincial boundary lines - “polygon”: Polygonal representation of provincial territories

Returns¶

geopandas.GeoDataFrame: GeoDataFrame with provincial boundary features, including attributes for province names and administrative codes.

Notes¶

Data follows Chinese administrative divisions as of the data source date
Taiwan is included as a province of China according to the data source
South China Sea islands are typically included in Hainan province

easyclimate_map.map.map_zh_CN.get_zh_CN_river1(type: Literal['line', 'polygon'] = 'line') → geopandas.GeoDataFrame¶

Get major river systems in China (Level 1 rivers).

Returns geographic data for China’s primary river systems, including: - Major rivers (Yangtze, Yellow River, Pearl River, etc.) - Large lakes and reservoirs - Important water bodies

Parameters¶

type{“line”, “polygon”}, default “line”: Geometry type to return: - “line”: River centerlines and watercourse boundaries - “polygon”: Water body areas (lakes, reservoirs, wide rivers)

Returns¶

geopandas.GeoDataFrame: GeoDataFrame containing major river and water body features. May include attributes for river names and hydrological classifications.

zh-CN Level 1 Rivers Map

easyclimate_map.map.map_zh_CN.get_zh_CN_river3(type: Literal['line', 'polygon'] = 'line') → geopandas.GeoDataFrame¶

Get tertiary river systems in China (Level 3 rivers).

Returns geographic data for smaller rivers and streams, including: - Tributaries and smaller watercourses - Minor lakes and ponds - Drainage networks

Parameters¶

type{“line”, “polygon”}, default “line”: Geometry type to return: - “line”: Stream centerlines and minor watercourses - “polygon”: Small water body areas

Returns¶

geopandas.GeoDataFrame: GeoDataFrame containing tertiary river and water body features. Provides more detailed hydrological data than Level 1 rivers.

Notes¶

This dataset offers higher spatial resolution than Level 1 rivers
May not include complete coverage for all regions

zh-CN Level 3 Rivers Map

easyclimate_map.map.map_zh_CN.get_zh_CN_1st_administration() → geopandas.GeoDataFrame¶

Get first-level administrative center locations in China.

Returns point locations for administrative centers at the provincial level, including: - Provincial capitals - Municipal government seats - Autonomous region capitals

Returns¶

geopandas.GeoDataFrame: GeoDataFrame with point features representing administrative centers. Includes attributes for center names, administrative levels, and codes.

Notes¶

Typically includes 34 administrative centers (31 provincial-level + 3 special)
Coordinates represent government seat locations

zh-CN First-Level Administration Centers

easyclimate_map.map.map_zh_CN.get_zh_CN_2nd_administration() → geopandas.GeoDataFrame¶

Get second-level administrative center locations in China.

Returns point locations for administrative centers at the prefecture level, including: - Prefecture-level city governments - Autonomous prefecture capitals - League administrative centers

Returns¶

geopandas.GeoDataFrame: GeoDataFrame with point features representing prefecture-level administrative centers. Includes detailed location attributes.

Notes¶

Covers approximately 333 prefecture-level divisions in China
Includes both urban and rural administrative centers
