Research date: 2026-10-04. Map viewed visually. Prompts prepared; images are not declared completed or approved by this document.

## Inventory of the source map

Captions: Huzhou, Jiaxing, Grand Canal, Tianmu Mountains, Anji, Longjing, Hangzhou, West Lake, Qiantang River, Shaoxing, Ningbo, Quzhou, Jinhua, Lishui, Taizhou, Ou River, Wenzhou, Yandang Mountains, Hangzhou Bay, Hangzhou Bay Bridge, Zhoushan Archipelago, East China Sea. Imagery: bamboo forest and Anji tea picking, low Longjing terraces, lake with pavilion and pagoda, old arched bridge by the canal, wide modern bridge across the bay, tidal water, several sailboats and islets. The map does not prove the specific name of the drawn pagoda/pavilion.

## Tea territories and fact separation

The core is green teas, but not only Longjing: West Lake/Longjing and Jingshan in Hangzhou; Anji Baicha is specifically a green tea from light-leaf material, not a category of white tea; Shaoxing/Xinchang/Shengzhou are separate Longjing territories; Kaihua Longding; Wuyi/Wuyang Chunyu; Songyang Yinhou and Xiangcha, plus large-scale tea trade; Jingning Huiming; Tiantai mountain tea; Pingyang Huangtang is a separate yellow tea technique; Zhoushan/Putuo Focha is island tea cultivation. Primary sources confirm the territories; each unsigned leaf is not presented as botanical proof of the cultivar. Tea oil from Camellia oleifera is not the same as the beverage Camellia sinensis and is not used in place of tea bushes. Mountain names and toponyms from the original map are preserved through the narrative; it is not claimed that all districts lie by West Lake.

## Seven independent solutions

- **C1: Hands, leaf and lake arc.** Large hand of a Longjing master connects tea processes with the open space of West Lake.
- **C2: Tea grows between letters.** The word ZHEJIANG rests on terraces and the work of tea masters.
- **C3: One tea route, different waters.** A coherent map distinguishes the lake, canals, southern valleys and island tea.
- **C4: Bridges and Bamboo Rooms.** The old stone bridge and the bamboo tea courtyard form the two main episodes.
- **C5: Lake Shores and Sails.** Large parade of bridges, tea hands, and islands with a double-outlined name.
- **C6: From canal to tide.** An energetic S-curve links tea picking, the old bridge, and the movement of water.
- **C7: Ten Things of Zhejiang.** Large simple symbols of tea work and water; the only inscription is ZHEJIANG.

## Technical and editorial boundaries

C1 uses the first two colors of the regional palette, C2–C3 all five, C4–C7 the first three. The background is truly transparent; there is no mandatory empty space percentage. C1–C6 is a coherent composition, C7 is 8–10 large simple groups. Only English text; C7 is only the region name. Master 3840 × 1280 px; final PNG RGBA 3840 × 1152 px, 250 × 75 mm.

The maps are an artistic source, not a geodetic plan. Symbolic proximity of scenes does not mean they are located on the same plot. The number of places explored is wider than the number of captions; the execution and quality of individual scenes are checked on the finished image. The prompt itself does not confirm the completeness of the result.
