THE WORLDS LONGEST WOODEN CARVING

Zheng Chunhui, a famous wood carver, won a place in the Guinness Book of Records after creating the world's longest wooden carving. Chunhui spent four years creating the artwork which is over 40ft long and made from a single tree trunk. The scene is a copy of the famous Chinese painting 'Along the River During the Qingming Festival' which was created over 1,000 years ago. The intricate work features boats, bridges, building and even 550 individually carved people. The piece measures 12.286 meters long, is 3.075 meters tall at it highest point, and is also 2.401 meters wide.
