The comprehensive SPWs located mainly in Beijing. The professional SPWs were mainly distributed in Beijing and Shanghai. The top two Local SPWs were from Zhejiang and Jiangsu Provinces. The other types of SPWs located mainly in Beijing. The general distribution of most SPWs in China has the character of "one center (Beijing) and one belt (coastal zone)" and "decline along the inland regions". SPWs in were related to many disciplines and played an important role in the improvement of public science awareness and knowledge. There were some problems with the SPWs in China, such as simple contents, poor display forms, and lack of two-ways flow of messages. In the future, SPWs in China should be carried out under the rational plan on the national scope and strengthen the popularization of scientific spirits, methods and thinkings.
