Mianyang, From Space

Lots of good stuff coming in the next couple of days, so stay tuned.

I noticed that that GoogleEarth now has a June 2008 image of Mianyang, home to China’s weapons design and fabrication facilities, and which I visited in 2007. (The city, not the design and fabrication facilities.)

31°27’42.76“N, 104°44’27.25“E

Using GoogleEarth, I think I managed to find the statue of Deng Jiaxian (above), my hotel, and, of course, Science City.

Here are the placemarks.
