China's new QR park
You must be
aware of QR codes which stands for quick response codes. These are basically square shaped, 2-D
barcode and are typically used to link to a website.
But can you imagine a scannable
code which measures 227m on each side. While difficult to do, this just became a reality in China. In the city of Baoding, Hebei province, a scannable QR code
of 51529 meter square area was created using 130,000 Chinese juniper tress. The
height of the trees ranges from 80cm to 2.5m.
While a
tough thing to do, on trying to scan the park (can be scanned from an aerial
view) using a mobile or a tablet you will be directly connected to the
village’s public WeChat account for tourism.
QR codes are
omnipresent in mainland China, used in shopping malls, paying bills in
restaurants, renting out shared bicycles, and even giving money to
beggars.
