Hi @anaordonezcasti 

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.
