Replica of China's Mona Lisa made of 6,000 tin cans

TAIYUAN - An aluminum carving made from more than 6,000 tin cans and entitled Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival was unveiled in North China's Shanxi province on Monday.

The artwork is a replica of the original Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival, which was created by Zhang Zeduan during the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127) and is often dubbed "China's Mona Lisa".

The replica is the work of Gao Bao'an, a resident of Linfen city, who took three years to finish the 28.8-meter-long, 1.3-meter-tall carving, which is almost five times the size of the original.
