Solved! Go to Solution.
As tested, creating a shape map as below, i can get the similar shape as your provided link.
1. import data into power bi like
| cities | provinces | GDP (CNY) | GDP (USD) | GDPpc | GDPpc |
| Shanghai | Shanghai | 3,063,299 | 453,701 | 126,634 | 18,756 |
| Beijing | Beijing | 2,801,494 | 414,926 | 128,994 | 19,105 |
2. create topjson file for country-China as this guided
3. make the "shape map" page as a bookmark page
4. create a button with text, turn on "action", select Type->bookmark, go to the "shape map" bookmark page
5. publish the report from power bi desktop to power bi service, for the report, "publish report to web", this gives a link and embed code,
Please check the link to my report if it works as you expected.

Not sure I got it corretly. But In All Maps, there is a property "Auto Zoom". If switch it on. Map will zoom on selection.
