This is a Chinese website that has an interactive map of Shanghai.  Every building is displayed in the most amazing detail.  My big question is why isn't ChinesePOD listed in the search box????  I am very curious!!!  Go here...

Wow, that is really cool.  I didn't realize SH had so many parks and green spaces.

@Bazza:
What was that site with the "walk around" view of shanghai? 88city or something?

While I was looking for the site, I found this interesting site with a heap of old photos of what Shanghai used to look like 40+ years ago.

Here's one picture:

Now that's pretty amazing too.  Complete 360 degree view with very little wide angle distortion.  Gotta love technology.

It would be great if they combined both of these together..

Is this the only city with this 3d walk-around thing, Bazza?
