Hello Everyone~

Posted by Hilsonbergman on 9 June 2018 in English.

Hello happy mappers: May I introduce myself here, My name is Hilson, from Hong Kong, and I joined this community just more than a year!

from a mapper 101 to my first try on josm, I have learnt a lot of mapping skills and try my best to show my home town in an alternative way.

Well my country, Cinasia, is much larger than a city-state, so I checked other East Asian countries and map their features into my map.

So maybe a renown image over Hong Kong is a crowed megacity, but we do have tiny Islands with villages on them. May I present here, Hey Chau, a tiny island located at north east corner of my country, which is an alternate version of Cheung Chau. It will be finished soon, I hope, and welcome to leave some comments.

I’ve actually been to Cheung Chau… never thought I would see it mentioned in User Diaries.

In any case, the island looks pretty good on scale helper — a nice example of how to use a model area from real life to inspire a similar area in OGF.

Happy mapping!
