Geospatial Beijing

I’ve you’ve been following my blog this year you’ll have seen many of the pictures and stories from my travels in Beijing (and beyond). If you’re planning a trip here or just curious to see where these great places are exactly I’ve used Google’s new map creation tool to mash it altogether on a pretty detailed satellite map of Beijing.

If I do say so myself I think it’s pretty neat! Be sure to check out some of the cool things to the north-west of the centre (including where I live!) and come back again as I’ll be updating it frequently.

    love the inter-active map! Where abouts are the Hutongs? You have explored loads of fantastic sites. Loved the piece about the incredibly hot dish - hope you've recovered (don't know if I could cook that at home!!!!)

    Glad you like it! The Hutongs are a bit difficult to locate as I've visited many of them, usually in passing to going somewhere else - I'll try to figure out where they are an put a few more pins on the map! You can already see one where the underground city is.
