Once on the map, you will have some view options in the upper right hand corner. I have highlighted the one you'll want (2nd from left)
I am going to agree also, I mean A for effort and all, but really...it just seems so many man hours, energy and money wasted on something that doesn't really seem to be nothign more than "Oooh neat".markot said:I dont see the coolness here >_< its utterly pointless....

There must be a good reason within the Chinese government law for this style of map to exist...maybe company's in China are not allowed to have websites that can show satellite imagery of Chinese cities? I donno!?!
Also, I thought the entire allure' of Google maps was how you felt like a (creeper) bird flying over your local city and pointing out your friend's houses and the cars and junk they leave around their house... for example I still get a kick out of looking at my old car (that I don't own anymore) parked in my drive way on Google Maps, in Satellite view.
And let's not even get into the fun times we can have with "Google street view" but that's totally a different thing than this.

I would love someone to show a picture of that spot looking the same in real life.Treefingers said:

You said it better than me. Even the worst slums could look like paradise in this style.LQX said:Perfect communist idea to cover up imperfections.
That's the Worker's Stadium... right across the street is a ridiculous sex shop.xbhaskarx said:Is there any easy way to compare areas to how the really look in a satellite image?
I found this big stadium in Beijing:
That's not the Bird's Nest Stadium from the Summer Olympics, is it? If so it looks nothing like it...
