My Modern Metropolis comes this work, from the Chinese wood carver Zheng Chunhui. He took four years to complete the project, which is all carved from one single log. Guinness certified it as the longest wood sculpture.

The scenes feature beautifully intricate details of both the rich and poor's life in a small town. When replicating such a famous painting, many artists tend to add a touch of modern day into the very ancient scenes. However, Chunhui stuck strictly to the culture from almost a millennium ago, focusing on the small houses, boats, and even 550 tiny human sculptures as they went about their daily lives.
