A view of clay figurines based on the famous painting ‘Along the River During the Qingming Festival’ in a park in Tangshan, North China’s Hebei province, April 20, 2015. The original painting, by Zhang Zeduan during the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127), depicts life along the banks of the Bianhe River, which flowed through Bianliang, then the capital city of the dynasty, now known as Kaifeng city in Henan province. A rural entrepreneur claims to have invested 150 million yuan ($24 million) to build the park that houses more than 500 figures, 50 animals, 20 boats, and 30 residential buildings all made in clay and plans to apply for a Guinness World Record.
