Feng, There is no global repository of such data. We do have a 'datasets' page, but it is decidedly limited: http://trac.openlayers.org/wiki/Datasets I might recommend that you take your question to the OSGeo Geodata list at http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/geodata, which is designed to help answer these types of questions.
