  Joined: 2005-04-24 Points: 648 | Google has incorporated street maps for some cities in China into its cool scrolling and zooming "Google Maps" interface.
This version of Google Local covers big cities (Kunming and Dali are in it, but Lijiang is not), and the information comes from mapabc.com. Unfortunately, it's only in Chinese. It's named, appropriately enough: http://bendi.google.com/ |

The service has been renamed http://ditu.google.cn/
It got a bunch of notice in Chinese blogs recently. Perhaps because it's recently been marketed by google. I notice a little red "新!" next to the name.
It (still) has a map of Kunming, but it still doesn't have maps of Shangri-La
. (or a bit more surprising: Xiaguan or Qujing)
