#2I LOL'd at the site headline: "Chinese maze: Village makes giant tech code from trees"

#3I tried two QR readers on the photos in the article. They did not detect the code.
Would it have been much more effort for the photographer to take a photo that was scannable? Or is there just too much variance in the arrangement and no reader would actually scan it even without a photo?

For what it's worth, "Barcode Scanner" on Android was able to scan it effortlessly.

I scanned it with WeChat and the public WeChatID of the company popped out - haomengshenghuo, whose direct translation of english is: life with good dreams.

It worked with the scanner in the built-in camera app in iOS 11, but I had to manually adjust the brightness (issue with scanning off a computer screen?)

Might be a problem with the combination of your monitor and your phone camera. I tried Barcode Scanner on Android, and it scanned it without a hitch. Hell, I had more trouble scanning a QR code I hand-drawn in blue on white paper...

#8Yes, my car had one too, so anybody could tip it when they thought I was driving well. Fun Bitcoin project of 2012. Though hardly anybody knew what it was, it actually did get some tips.

Barcode Scanner on Android gives:

Rather anticlimactic.

That is exactly working as intended.
You need to install WeChat and use the app to scan it to go the official account of the tourism office.
