Who knew that Google has two completely different map servers for China and the rest of the world?
If you’ve tried to use http://maps.google.com before you may have encountered the problem with Chinese cities having no detail. But the detailed maps can be found at http://ditu.google.com, it’s all in Chinese, but it still has advantages over other interactive maps so I’ve used it to update all the Chongqing maps at this website.
Most of the listings link back to their detailed entries at this site and where available I will provide the exact address and contact info. Please let me know if you find any mistakes!

In Dalian and Beijing the maps are off by about 0.5 degrees, be careful if you ever want to switch back to maps.google.com as the tile source.
This site is coming along nicely, you’re putting in a lot of effort!

Thanks Alex for the support! I’ve seen you around on Twitter, hopefully one of these days I’ll have a group of people who can make this site grow as much as the Daliandalian site has grown.

It going pretty cool from what I see, adding content is king. I am more busy breaking things on DalianDalian than fixing them!
