Those Midnight in Peking Locations – Courtesy of Google Earth

On my website (www.midnightinpeking.com) there’s a walking tour of all the locations from Midnight in Peking – click here – but then I was mucking about on Google Earth – of course the Second Ring Road wasn’t there in 1937 and where the railway runs between the Fox Tower and Armour Factory Alley wasn’t there either and was a silted up part of the Grand Canal complex. Sadly also the Tartar Wall, though you can see part of the last remaining bit of it here, runs out a bit further on as, of course, Mao had it all knocked down.
