edushi.com provides interactive maps of various Chinese cities. Instead of a standard map or satellite image, it features an oblique representation of the street layout, along with 2.5 dimensional looking buildings (there is a term for that technique, but I do not remember which one). A good example of the isometric projection technique for maps.
