Maps of scenic spots in ancient China were originated from Chinese landscape painting and thus associated with it closely. At the same time, the ancients paid more attention to the artistic features of maps due to time limitations as well as the lack of ancient scientific requirements for mapping. Ancient map of scenic spot is products of China's unique art and culture. It is the combination of Chinese traditional ideology and culture, calligraphy, painting and the other types of arts and it has important cultural and artistic value. This paper discusses the artistic characteristics of ancient scenic spot maps in terms of cartography, generalization, scaling, orientation, color, annotation and traditional ideology. Also, the corresponding artistic characteristics are presented by the attached maps to show the beauty of ancient art. Chinese culture is extensive and profound, and it contains a variety of ideas, such as Confucianism, Taoist thought and Buddhist thought. These thoughts have a profound impact on the development of ancient map art. Modern map pays great attention to the scientific nature leading to the lack of artistic quality. Nevertheless, the ancient Chinese map of scenic spot is inspired by Chinese traditional ideology, culture, calligraphy, painting and other forms of art ,which can well make up for its defects. Studying the artistic features of ancient scenic spot maps not only has an important reference significance for the development of contemporary cartography, but also plays an important role for inheriting Chinese traditional culture, therefore we should dig deeper into these cultural treasures and also introduce Chinese culture to the world.
