Ten years after China's Grand Canal earned UNESCO World Heritage status, a jaw-dropping tribute is taking shape in Fujian! Led by master woodcarver Zheng Chunhui (a guardian of Putian wood carving traditions), artisans are transforming nine 500-year-old camphor trees into a sprawling 3D timeline of the canal’s glory days.
The carving zooms in on bustling water trade, riverside architecture, and cultural hotspots along the 1,794-km route linking Beijing and Hangzhou. Imagine boatmen navigating currents, merchants haggling at docks, and pagodas glowing at sunset – all meticulously etched into fragrant wood!
Slated for completion in 2028, this #LivingHeritage project bridges ancient craftsmanship with modern storytelling. \"We’re not just carving wood – we’re reviving memories of China's lifeline,\" says Zheng. Perfect for history buffs, art lovers, and anyone chasing cultural vibes!
