Dear Ziqiang,
NCL doesn't allow you much control over map tickmarks. We've written some examples showing how you can add your own map tickmarks using a rather complicated method of creating a "blank" plot with the desired tickmarks, and then adding this as an annotation.
See example "mptick_9.ncl" at:
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/mptick.shtml#ex9
I was able to take the "add_map_tickmarks" function straight out of this example and use it for your code, which I've attached here.
The key is that after you create the map, you need to add the following lines to add the new map tickmarks:
;---Indicate where we want tickmarks
res@tmYLValues = ispan(30,33,1)
res@tmYRValues = ispan(30,33,1)
res@tmXBValues = ispan(117,123,1)
res@tmXTValues = ispan(117,123,1)
res@tmYLLabelFontHeightF = 0.01
res@tmXBLabelFontHeightF = 0.01
;---Attach the new map tickmarks.
base = add_map_tickmarks(wks,base,res)
Of course, you can change the values above as you see fit.
