34°12'30"N 117°17'45"E best I found so far, but not sure

The problem is, that this town probably has expanded quite a bit given how much stuff is being built

[wooden gale]

If this is the location, very close to the Daguozhang airbase

[zenith remnant]

just an attempt to stitch it a bit together

[proper walrus]

I can't see the bike paths and stuff, but given how fast this place is expanding I can't rule out anything

34°12'31"N 117°16'06"E another option

If I could see the buildings in the back it would be easy

[zenith remnant]

I really don't like baidu maps...sluggish and hard to navigate around

[proper walrus]

I didn't even try to use it, it's horrible

@zenith remnant

#east-asia message

[zenith remnant]

finding stuff in chinese cities is hard...

[proper walrus]

It's because everything looks similar, and everything changes all the time

[zenith remnant]

yeah

[proper walrus]

34°13'28"N 117°16'45"E

@zenith remnant

Can you check

[zenith remnant]

one sec

its a fkn construction site..

[storm current]

ooo..

[zenith remnant]

I completely lost my orientation on baidu...everything looks the same...

[proper walrus]

Hello there

[storm current]

too few lanes?

hi.

[proper walrus]

Maybe

I'm not really sure how many there are

I somehow ended up in another city

Wait

@zenith remnant @storm current 34°15'15"N 117°15'01"E

This whole place is Xuzhou

I thought it was only the part at the bottom because that's where Google took me

I don't think we will find this

This is a city of 9mil

[zenith remnant]

yeah, even though your last coords looks much better on streetview

[proper walrus]

@wooden gale this might be a bit too much

[zenith remnant]

might indeed be a bit too hard, for all I know the skyline could be completely different today than what I see on stretview

[wooden gale]

Yeah

[zenith remnant]

nevertheless, your last coords look actually quite good on google sat...

trees, bus station...good match

[proper walrus]

It might be that neighborhood

[zenith remnant]

yep

[proper walrus]

It's that place

Check the trees

I just got lucky I think

[zenith remnant]

not sure...see the turn left arrow...

unless they added a bridge

[wooden gale]

It would also make sense that someone sharing this media online might be taking the picture from the Hilton Garden Inn... not a local

The overhead view at least

[zenith remnant]

hmm..ok, overhead might work

[wooden gale]

Though I think they may be filming from the building across the road there from the Hilton

[zenith remnant]

with the parking lots

[wooden gale]

You know

I think this is actually it

[proper walrus]

I think it matches

Am I good or am I good

[wooden gale]

You are the geolocation god

See those pedestrian balls. You can see them in the original video

What do you think?

I've got an even better pic it's pretty close..

Better res

[proper walrus]

34°15'16"N 117°15'03"E so around here looking across the river

Rough angle

[wooden gale]

OK now lets see if there's any obvious place these vehicles could be coming from.

[proper walrus]

34°15'15"N 117°15'11"E

@zenith remnant @storm current we have confirmation

[proper walrus]

34°13'56"N 117°14'12"E could they be returning here?

[wooden gale]

They are coming from the direction of this hella sus facility

"High school" yeah I'm sure

[proper walrus]

34°15'19"N 117°16'57"E gate

[proper walrus]

Oh, that's just Google shifting everything to the side

[wooden gale]

Oh lol I forgot it does that

Well, that's all the mysteries solved

[zenith remnant]

nice one

[storm current]

Good job, I can't help with much here. I'm better at trees and fields.

[proper walrus]

Yep, 100% a PLA base

[proper walrus]

Does Geoconfirmed still do the China thing

[wooden gale]

Running out of space lol

[proper walrus]

That parking job though

[storm current]

We don't have channels for that, I'll ask.

[wooden gale]

Every time without fail every PLA site has a tunnel going underground

[proper walrus]

I know the did have a twitter for it

Well what's a base without a bunker

[wooden gale]

Gotta store those... high school supplies

[proper walrus]

Pencil shaped

[storm current]

Tagged the post as found. fyi.

[proper walrus]

👍

Anyone want to tweet this?

[wooden gale]

I can but I'd let you do it first since you found the more important part of the puzzle

[storm current]

I'm off to bed now. Can do it tomorrow if no one else does it before.

[proper walrus]

Oh, I don't tweet, just wanted to get it out there. Go for it, just tag fdov @ fdov21 on Twitter

[wooden gale]

K, you want a h/t too?

[proper walrus]

Foobi and me don't have Twitter

[proper walrus]

Sure

[storm current]

(i didn't do anything)

[wooden gale]

Moral support

[storm current]

hah, thanks. gn 😉

[proper walrus]

Do you want the clout or no

[storm current]

sure. love it.

[wooden gale]

I have like 17 followers so I'd need it retweeted

[storm current]

I can do that. Don't have many followers, and mostly ukraine related. But I'll retweet if you tag me.

[proper walrus]

If only we were part of a community that had ≈33k Twitter followers

[wooden gale]

Hmm I'll need to make a little diagram so it's worthy of being retweeted by the PO account

[proper walrus]

Ok, once you are done we'll go and annoy Fin

[wooden gale]

This sell it?

[proper walrus]

I'd recommend including this, with the fence in front of the person and the photo of the hotel you found

I generaly try to get at least 3-4 things when drawing, then people don't question you

[wooden gale]

Where is that circled bit though? I was looking for it but couldn't pin it down

[proper walrus]

34°15'15"N 117°15'12"E

[proper walrus]

Do the other video too, that one should be easier

This one is kinda difficult

[wooden gale]

It seems like it should be more here 34.25431159496991, 117.25262684619172? Hard to see what that thing is on the earth view

[proper walrus]

To draw

[proper walrus]

Yeah, you are right, I just counted the streetlights

[wooden gale]

I think that bit was built after the sat image was taken

The other angle is better though I agree, I can even use the tree sizes to ID it

[proper walrus]

Do the fence, and the traffic light pole that should be enough

[proper walrus]

Yeah, the first one is difficult because he doesn't film anything unique looking

[wooden gale]

Tree ID

[proper walrus]

Pog

[proper walrus]

That looks great

[proper walrus]

There was this one too, would have been even easier

But it's the same

[wooden gale]

Yeah

[proper walrus]

Tweet away

I'm going to sleep since it's 2am

[wooden gale]

geo'd another spot along the same road https://twitter.com/whatisvenezuela/status/1598042940370464768

whatisvenezuela (@whatisvenezuela)

@jenniferzeng97 @IntelCrab Probably filmed at (34.25372, 117.24358).

There is a PLA base a few kilometers up the road at (34.25553, 117.28269).
