A woman has done a modern version of a famous Song Dynasty (960-1279) painting with about 700 soft drink cans, getting her work into Guiness World Records as the longest can picture, www.cnr.cn reported.

The work, 720 centimeters long and 50 centimeters wide, echoes Riverside Scene during the Qingming Festival.

It took Yu Wen, in northeast China's Liaoning province, two years and three months to complete. It is a little bigger than the original. The work is a stereograph, which highlights concave and convex aspects and steaks.
