View Full Version : China in Google Earth
z0rg August 11th, 2006, 11:40 PM I love Google Earth, I have spent hours searching nice views around the world. China is one of my favourite places to play as a google earth-voyeur :lol: I wonder what are they waiting for to let us seeing Chongqing with high definition!
Post your favourite Google Earth captures here.
I'm starting with a good one, I suppose that all of you know where is this:

Lovely, Amazing, just Wonderful!
We could also play a game if you like. Somebody posts an image and the other forumers have to find out where is it in China. Mine is too easy, you can even see the coordinates. Enjoy!

staff August 13th, 2006, 02:02 PM I don't recognize it so I don't think I've been there!
Maybe Chongqing? Or maybe not dense enough.
Fuzhou?
Anna Maria August 13th, 2006, 02:20 PM Maybe Chongqing? My first impression was also a Sichuan city :)
!!!!!!! I think it's better to remove the foot-bar before posting !!!!!!!
BTW here two links with millions of coordinates:
http://www.geonames.org
http://www.traveljournals.net/explore
The second one is better. You can find (almost???) every little town in China, Taiwan or Hong-Kong there, also other geographical places like rivers, islands, mountains, bridges, bays etc. A great tool.
