　　The lego diorama recaptures many details of life over centuries ago, much the same as those depicted in the painting. There were various trades including a joss stick shop, barber, fortune teller and medical clinic, and larger businesses such as teahouses, restaurants, taverns, butchers, and hawkers, as well as different means of transportation like sedan chairs, wagons, donkeys, horses and camels.

　　However, program executive and lego certified professional Andy Hung was far from being satisfied. With over 10 years of experience being the coordinator and creator of lego exhibitions, the veteran admitted there were still details unrestored due to the limitation of lego in displaying human figures.

　　For Hung, it was by no means an easy job, with five months spent on sorting out a blueprint. Hung has polished lego solutions, consulted historians and architects, in addition to inspirations from archives.

　　“Every project is new to me, because every time I face a different scene, a different architecture, and a different culture. And recreating those through lego is a challenge,“ Hung said.
