China has an incredibly long and well regarded tradition for wood carving. Looking at the first photo below, you could be forgiven for thinking you're seeing a large piece of old driftwood. However moving on to the other photos, you will see one of the most incredible pieces of carved wood ever. Carved into a 12 foot tree, Zheng Chunhui's 'Along The River During The Qingming Festival' is a tribute to the renowned Chinese painting by the same name.
