Title: Chinese Equivalent of Google Street View
Post by: ryan_madden on January 29, 2011, 02:23:28 am
Hey folks,

Stumbled upon this handy doodad last weekend (thanks in part to another forum  :P).

www.hefei.city8.com (http://hefei.city8.com)

If you haven't had the chance to play with it, we should get a week off for Spring Festival, so knock yourself out!  ;D

PS - Should say that:

- It's in Chinese
- It only accepts the Chinese characters for locations

Hey good resource mate but you might wanna know that the info giving on the site is kinda outdated,thats Hefei city say 5years back.Much demolition and reconstruction have taken place,plus alot of new infastructures have been added,inshort I noticed that all the changes that have taken place within the last 5years are not shown on the site and that accounts for about 40% of present day hefei,giving it a different look
Take changjiang road for example,one can hardly recognize it on the site cos its the old one,all the newly constructed blocks and bridges are absent

AND our office building is missing

But its still good stuff,Now I can relax back at my crib and webpage my biz at BB LOL
