This is a map for tourists travelling in New York City. Circles, hexagons and lines are pinned on the places welcomed by tourists to clearly demonstrate which area attracts visitors most.

The comparatively adjacent waterfront spots and historic districts are grouped together, then forming closed polylines as ideal paths for people to visit all these places efficiently; vendors with a distance less than 800 meters are connected to form a network.

The links between paths, networks and subway stations explicitly show which stations are close to the sightseeing points.

On the macrosclae, the average points of waterfront spots, historic spots, vendor spots along with airports are considered as attractors, and flows at the stations have a generic tendency of moving towards these spots, which are depicted within the “magnetic field.”
