Updated detailed Beijing area map in English ?

[crouchingdragon]

Can someone kindly suggest an updated Beijing map in English or with pinyin that would include Yayuncun and areas North of 5th Ring Road.

Perhaps it doesn't presently exist ?

In 1994, a German Cartography Company produced a great detailed Beijing map for areas within the 3th ring road (many of you know it with bright read cover, "World-City Map, Beijing," distributed by American Map in the U.S.). However, I never found such a great map since including more of Beijing in recent years.

Two years ago, I saw a fantastic map depicting all of Beijing at the Xidan Book Store but unfortunately for me all in Chinese Characters.

Thank you,

Try Google Earth, it's updated until two years ago.

Horas,

Goggle Earth is indeed amazing.

One will find lower satellite resolution for areas of Beijing outside the 2 R.Road or in other areas outside the 3rd R. Road, making it difficult to see detail.

Again, I am looking for a map with street, building and landmark names, with particular interest with areas North of Yayuncun.

Rgds.
