If you love her…
If you love her, let her go to Lijiang, let her grow with the warm sunshine of Lijiang.

If you hate her, let her go to Lijiang, let her disappear at the horizon.

If you want to feel the natural world, let me take you to worship the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.

If you want to get renascence, let me take you to the mystical Daughters Garden.

Seems like a very cool idea, and makes good sense. The product does need to be refined to include other ‘touristy’ type activities aside from museums.

Kinda cool, but map lists are something generated organically by users, and often with better results. The automatically generated list lacks a theme, whereas a hand-picked list has character. If Google gave better support to making map lists, and used an algorithm to suggest (or sponsor $) similar locations, that’d be more interesting to me.

It is pretty cool. Although it looks like its need some TLC still. Some developer probably created this in his garage for 1 year and Google came by offering a pizza and a six pack and took idea like they always do.

Google CityTour helps a lot, especially for someone who just arrive in a new place and a tourist who lost his map in rough wind. Hopefully Google CityTour will include cities in south east Asia too (Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia).

The comparison for Google CityTour with other similar provider also good, very helpful.

Thank you.

Definitely not boring – try searching Prague.
(makes me wonder how does Google choose in what should I be interested:)

It looks cool but has a long way to go. I’ve just tried out my city (Toronto) and it has failed to list even the most basic sights (i.e. the CN Tower) and even when one is added manually (i.e. Casa Loma) it comes up with an imperfect match (Casa Loma Catering.) Neat to be sure, but definitely still an early, early Labs project.

I think it’s a great idea. It’s got a lot of potential and helps to promote attractions that you might not otherwise hear about. Just found out there’s a Butter Museum around the corner from my house. Who knew!

From the title, it was easy to confuse this item with Space Travel!

I agree. It does sound like a great initiative. Maybe they just need some time to work out its flaws.
