This review article examines Chang Chi-yan and others' five-volume National Atlas of China, identifying the first volume as Taiwan. The reviewer notes that this volume uses 1:200,000 and 1:100,000 as its base scales, unlike the other volumes, and includes political-boundary and topographic maps together with industry, climate and other thematic maps. Place names carry Wade-Giles romanization, and the volume ends with alphabetical and stroke-order indexes. The reviewer judges that the atlas's cartographic technique does not surpass the 1934 New Atlas of China, but that the large-scale maps of Taiwan make it easier to survey the island's physical, human and economic geography.

Reviewing the five-volume National Atlas of China, the article gives only a brief passage to Vol. I. It calls the 57 maps of Taiwan among the most useful in the atlas and notes that 11 regional maps at 1:250,000 show the island's relief, administrative features and other cultural features.

The reviewer notes that the first volume, Taiwan province, gives detailed place names in Chinese characters and romanization, with additional maps of geology, climate, soils, forest types, land use and transport. The review welcomes the atlas as a remedy for the inconvenience of lacking detailed maps after changes in Taiwan place names and readings, and it approves the inclusion of some old names alongside the current ones—for example Yushan/Xin Gaoshan, Xueshan/Ci Gaoshan, Zhongshan/Alishan and Ren'ai/Wushe—for comparison.
