Google City Tours
Posted by SpikeDec 31
Google has a new product in Google Labs, Google City Tours. (Did I write “Google” often enough in one sentence?) Labs is their beta site and City Tours needs work, a lot of work, at least for Hong Kong. I searched on “Hong Kong” and got no results. So I tried “Central, Hong Kong” and the result was a two day walking tour of the Central district. It’s pretty freaking sad.
On day 1, they suggest you visit 6 places. This includes the Mandarin Landmark Hotel, the building on Pedder Street with lots of clothing stores, Soho, the LKF hotel, one art gallery and a dai pai dong (I think). That’s it for an entire day.
Day 2 gets worse. Six stops for the entire day, including the Ritz Carlton Hotel, which no longer exists. Plus LegCo, City Hall and the hideous Cheung Kong Centre.
Definitely still a few bugs in the system.
