This is an amazing wood carving.
This giant masterpiece has been recorded as the longest one piece wood carving in the world.
And the time it took to get it officially recognized is also almost a record - after the exhibition hall where it is housed revealed it was actually crafted in Fujian province in southeast China nearly 1,000 years ago.
"Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival", it has only now been recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest single piece wood carving in the world.
It took artist Zheng Chunhui four years to complete and currently is stored at the Palace Museum in Beijing where it is recognized as a national treasure.
There are 550 people in the carving.
