I find Google maps to be very accurate in big cities of China and it's especially helpful when deciding whether to walk or take the subway in Beijing since distances can be so great in the capital city.
It's somewhat odd. I tried it again on maps.google.com, and it took me to Hong Kong.

Then I tried it on ditu.google.com, and it worked, but the neighborhood name is Man Kam To...correct, if one was in Hong Kong. In Mandarin, it's Wen Jin Du.

一模一样, not so much
