Google Maps are pretty cool, but if you ever wanted to know what Beijing and other Chinese cities would look like if they were in Sim City, check out these maps created by Edushi.com. Not only can you “walk” around a cartoon version of the city, you can also search by streets and landmarks. I found both my apartment building in Beijing, mysteriously the only one in the complex that is NOT numbered, and my apartment building in Hong Kong.
The site includes such famous cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Xi’an, Chengdu, Chongqing, Urumqi, as well as second and third-tier cities like Shijiazhuang and Zibo; the complete list of cities is here.
