To standardize the depiction of administrative boundaries in various types of maps of Beijing, ensure the accuracy of boundary delineation, administrative division names, and government office locations, and meet the needs of both map-making entities and the general public, the Beijing Municipal Commission of Planning and Natural Resources and the Beijing Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau have, in accordance with the Beijing Surveying and Mapping Regulations and the Administrative Boundary Management Measures of Beijing, jointly organized the revision and compilation of the 2025 Edition of the Base Map of Beijing’s Administrative Boundaries. The updated map series is hereby released, and the relevant details are announced as follows:
