Chinese Artist Uses 50,000 Coins to Build Model of the City of Chongqing
Chinese artist He Peixi created a model of his hometown of Chongqing out of 50,000 coins. Peixi used 10 different kinds of coins to replicate the city’s landmarks, bridges, and other buildings. The artist represented the Yangtze River and Jialing River with agate stones. He used no glue in the sculpture, relying instead on very careful stacking–by chopstick, no less.
