I'm getting a 403 forbidden. This might be it: http://www.bigpixel.cn/t/5834170785f26b37002af46d http://www.bigpixel.cn/t/5834170785f26b37002af46d

  I'm getting a forbidden on that too. I guess it's a ephemeral link. It's on the frontpage of the site though.

    Might be sort of a sophisticated fishing attempt

      Ha, I swear I just spent 20 minutes on the site looking around several cities. Not trying to phish anybody, but apply your normal level of risk aversion to ambiguous Chinese links :)

    Maybe it doesn't like the HN referer. Selecting the address in the address bar and hitting enter loaded the site for me. Last time this made the rounds, a colleague found a guy squatting with his pants down in one of the green parks. Edit: on 2nd look, you can't see his lower half, and the guy was probably just walking forwards. To find him: look at the white circle at the bottom of the panorama, if the words are oriented correctly (the red Shanghai symbol at the 12 o'clock of the circle), zoom in and follow the line from 12 o'clock "upwards" until you reach the La Tagliatella restaurant, the guy is wearing blue in the bushes between this building and the reflective tower to its left.

  Probably, it has made the rounds before. I like the 'shopping bag' building, you can even zoom in to see the people in the glass lounges.

This is incredible. Also a good reminder that anywhere we walk in public, we could be photographed.

If you go to http://www.bigpixel.cn/ http://www.bigpixel.cn/ clicking the Shanghai one (second in the page) should take you to it properly. Not sure if the links are temporary or not for some reason. Also has other pictures.
