Hipihi is a new virtual world site, similar to Second Life, being developed in Beijing. Although the main site is in Chinese, there is also an English version. It is undergoing a closed beta test at the moment so you can’t get access to it. However, you can download a video describing what it is all about.

From the video, it looks identical to SL - you create an avatar, can move about, talk to other residents, build houses ……….

It will be interesting to see if it has any additional features to SL such as speech. It is supposed to be launched sometime next September.
