✦ 2006 OrbView Satellite Imagery of Liwan District, Guangzhou at 1-Meter Resolution

Liwan District lies in western central Guangzhou, where the Pearl River meets historic arcades, traditional neighborhoods, landmark buildings, and evolving commercial and residential areas. This 2006 OrbView collection, captured at 1-meter resolution, offers a useful historical snapshot of the district’s urban landscape. The imagery can help viewers examine street patterns, block layouts, waterways, building density, and green spaces, and compare them with present-day reference materials. It may support urban-planning research, change analysis, geographic education, and preliminary site reviews. Meter-level imagery reveals useful surface detail, although the level of visible detail depends on acquisition conditions and the size of each feature. It works best as a companion to maps and field research, not as a replacement for professional surveying. Whether you are tracing the growth of an older neighborhood or organizing regional records, these images provide an accessible way to build a spatial overview. The images below are 1-meter-resolution views of Liwan District captured by the OrbView satellite in 2006.
