Have you ever imagined turning a legendary waterway into a breathtaking piece of art? 🎋✨ In east China's Fujian Province, a team of masterful artisans led by Zheng Chunhui is doing just that!
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of China's Grand Canal being recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, they've embarked on an epic five-year adventure. Their mission? To carve a colossal wooden masterpiece that captures the essence of the Grand Canal's rich history and vibrant culture.
