MapleStory/Towns/China

China is the name of the region, naturally, based on Chinese culture. It consists of two separate areas, each containing two towns, for a grand total of four towns. These towns are Shanghai Wai-Tan, Yuyuan Garden, Mount Song Town, and Grand Hall of the Great Sage. The phrase "Dong Fang Shen Zhou" (东方神州), translates in English to "The Eastern Divine Land", or "The Oriental Divine Land".

Shanghai, Dong Fang Shen Zhou
The Shanghai region is the first part of the Dong Fang Shen Zhou continent. The Shanghai region has two towns that can be reached by walking between them, which are Shanghai Wai-Tan and Yuyuan Garden.

Shanghai is the main area of China. It is a modern, urban town, featuring a ferry that floats past in the background. On the far right an NPC stands by with an airplane, and there's even a hot air balloon that players can climb into. The NPCs in Shanghai sell the typical things, such as armor, potions, and weapons for levels 40 and below. There is a quest involving the defeat of the one boss found here. Outside of Shanghai are farm-themed maps, where Roosters, Ducks, Sheep, Black Sheep, Goats, Black Goats, Cows and Plow Oxen can be found. These maps move further away from the town, as can be seen by the fading buildings in the background. At the end of Shanghai's farm maps, the King Centipede boss is located. Defeating this boss allows a player to finish a quest where the ever valuable Steely Throwing Stars and Blue Moon are a possible prize.

Yuyuan Garden can be reached by walking from Shanghai Wai-Tan to the right passing the Shanghai Urban Square. This area is almost exclusively made up of shops. A variety of items are available from a number of different NPCs. The Yuyuan Garden also leads to a PvP arena map, which has three doors that lead to three different battle ground maps. It involves a number of contests between two Maplers, usually killing a monster first or completing a jump quest in the fastest time. There is a Free Market entrance here.
