Maps, Chinese, and photos!

Sep 9, 2006 | Tags: | Written by John

Finding itAfter a slow start we've been busy updating a lot of the information and adding brand-spanking new Google Satellite maps. These are particularly useful as not only can you see where a place is, but you can also see surrounding landmarks. For categories this then allows you to see all pages in a category. For example, want to see all known cafes in Guangzhou? Go to the cafes category page.

To complement these maps every page has both Chinese and English locations. Clicking on a piece of Chinese text will take you to a special screen where the same text is repeated, but wrapped around a sentence suitable for giving to a taxi driver.

As a third incentive to check these places out we've added a batch of photos. If anyone has photos of places they've taken themselves, and want to make them available, then please do get in touch with us - we'd love to include them!

All pages are designed to be printed nicely, so if you want a 'fact sheet' style page just go ahead and print it out.

    The submissions page doesn't work well (error 404 after clicking in the Submit button, and there is an error in your contact page :
    "Form 'contact' could not be found". Is there any other way to contact you ?

    I believe you have a typo in your copy on page 1. "To compliment these maps every page has both..." ( "compliment" should be "complement"). It's a very nice looking site.
