I was in Chendu last summer visiting my friend. The problem here is the map server was down, and it is a NOAA server not in our control. I would suggest you install the Map of China in our plugin manager to get a better map than those from NOAA server. TO do that: Tools > Plugin Manager, and in the available plugins, select Maps > China Maps, after click the plus sign, you need to restart the IDV and this map will be available. Let me know if you need more help.
