The creator of this three-dimensional pixel map of Hong Kong has put big efforts into this fantastic artwork. The unknown artist entirely pixeled the city of Hong Kong and linked it to the concept of Google Maps. His creation can be explored the same way you would fly over a normal map. This guy is a hero. Fantastic, check it out.
