EPSG:4494 CGCS2000 / Gauss-Kruger zone 16
Projected system (Transverse Mercator) in use: China - 90°E to 96°E. The full definition below, and conversion in one click.
EPSG publishes no simple transformation to WGS 84 for this datum: conversion works on the ellipsoid alone and can be off by tens of metres.
