Alibaba Group navigation platform Amap has come a long way since its early days as a simple map and location finder.
Amap is now integrated with other local services such as commerce resource Koubei and travel booking tool Fliggy to form an all-encompassing app catering to every facet of daily life in China.
In this video, Alizila looks at how a quick search on Amap yields everything from restaurant reviews to bike rental information.
