A new land cover classification system from MODIS data which includes seven first-degree types and twenty-two second-degree types was designed based on Chinese Vegetation Code System. Multi-temporary NDVI and multi-spectrum reflectance from MODIS 1km data in 2001～2002 were used to map land cover of China. The result showed that the classification product was close to China land cover fact.
