World's largest Lego exhibit reconstructs iconic ancient Chinese scroll

HONG KONG — This month, the National Day Golden Week from Oct 1 to 7 saw tourists flocking to New Town Plaza in Sha Tin, the eastern New Territories in Hong Kong, to witness a new Guinness World Record.

A long scroll of Along the River During the Qingming Festival, an iconic painting of the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127), is unfolded and on display, ingeniously constructed from Lego bricks.

Covering 47 square meters, the world's largest Lego exhibit, showing Sept 25 to Oct 31, has been the latest weekend and holiday hot spot, delicately piecing together a marvelous world where the old and new converge.
