Beijing Olympics English Map Launched

Filed under: China Travel — Shanghai @ 6:01 am

You can find now an English Zoomable map of Beijing on the website of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.
It’s pretty nice and detailed with main roads, the Olympic locations and other landmarks.

You have the option to download a screenshot of the map (a your zoom level) and I liked the option to draw lines on the map, using the scale option to measure distances between points.

Unfortunately the menu bar items, like scale, save etc don’t seem to work in Firefox.
Check it out.

  1. Cool map. Prob make it even more confusing as Beijing is pretty hard to navigate around for visitors. Saw a site called guidesinchina.cn that could help but they would probably be just as confused.

    The problem is that everything changes so fast that is just hard to keep. Wonder if Beijing will really be ready.

    Cool blog btw
