They've also picked a photo of downtown Guangzhou on a smoggy day (because all Chinese cities are polluted, don't you know...)

In actual fact it gets about 10 times fewer smoggy days than Beijing. Still bad, but I have found the weather to really be quite nice.

The local equivalent of Google Maps is done in an isometric SimCity-style cartoon format which looks really cool.

Scroll down and to the left a bit to see the area depicted in the photo - it's a new(ish), central park positioned over a shopping mall.
