They managed to write an article comparing the populations of the Pearl River Delta and Tokyo without actually giving the population of either. Nice work.

- brianbreslin 12y agoYeah, was annoying to have to google the stats. For reference the pear river delta has 63 million people.
- notauser 12y agoThey'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. http://gz.o.cn/ http://gz.o.cn/ 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.
