In response to the Guangzhou Metro map (August 2015, 3 stars), I found this one on Wikipedia (by H2NCH2COOH), which pretty much addresses all the problems you outlined on the previous map submitted by ‘Tony’.

Transit Maps says:

It does, indeed! The addition of the rivers and islands of the city add some nice geographical clues to the map, and the APM inset looks much neater in its own little box. As a whole, the diagram is a little less elegant than the official one, with the red Line 5 weaving a little unsteadily across the map and an odd little kink towards the eastern end of Line 8 that could have been avoided with a little effort. The interchange icons are unfortunately very sadly dull and generic..

Our rating: A little bit better, a little bit worse than the real thing. Let’s call it a draw. My dream map for Guangzhou would probably combine some elements from both of these maps. Three stars.
