A Stunning Pixel-Art Representation of Hong Kong

By Scott Gilbertson December 12, 2007 Categories: Other

hongkong.jpg

The image above is from a beta site by the name of Edushi, which has created a complete pixel-art representation of Hong Kong. Navigation elements are similar to those in Google Maps — zooming,panning and what appears to be a search box with a few options. Unfortunately our Chinese is a bit rusty (read: non-existent) so beyond that, we don’t know much about this site other than the obvious fact that it’s a visually stunning representation of Hong Kong.

If any of our readers can provide some translation, be sure to do so in the comments. [Update:Compiler reader Grigoris Kapsalis points out that the main Edushi site has links to a number of other cities as well.

[High five to Jason Fields]
