A dragon boat carved from bone is the star attraction of an exhibition that opened in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, last Thursday.

The boat, which features over 3,000 individual ox-bone carvings, is 1.2 metres long and 1 metre high. It weighs over 50 kilograms.

The dragon boat is the largest bone carving in the country. It took Zhang Minhui over 6 months to complete.

He said it was difficult to set the individual ox-bone carvings into the dragon boat.
