Green Roofs In China

Places like New York have been pushing the idea of green roofs for a while now, but I love this take on it by China. Four houses were built on the rooftop of the Jiutian International Square, a shopping mall in Zhuzhou, Hunan province. The houses were built with proper legal & planning permission so not to worry, this is't some crazy ad lib by Chinese people...

Beautiful Asian Calligraphy

Chinese calligraphy is a form of calligraphy widely practiced and revered in the Sinosphere, which often includes China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam. The East Asian calligraphic tradition originated and developed from China. There is a general standardization of the various styles of calligraphy in this tradition. Chinese calligraphy and ink and wash painting are closely related, since they are accomplished using similar tools and techniques. Chinese painting and calligraphy distinguish themselves from other cultural arts because they emphasize motion and are charged with dynamic life.

Glass Bottomed Walkway In China

China's newest tourist attraction... a glass-bottomed walkway around the cliff....Brave tourists looking to test their nerves have flocked to China to walk across a dazzling glass bridge suspended from the cliff. The oriental Skywalk is situated 4,700ft above sea level on the side of the Tianmen Mountain in Zhangjiajie, China. In order to keep the glass path clean, tourists are asked to put on shoe covers before passing.






Workers built a 3ft-wide plank road on the side of Shifou Mountain, in Hunan Province, China....

Insa Painting in Hong Kong

Insa's words: "While in HK i met up with local writer XEME and we got busy claiming day time spots right in the center of town! I was really pleased to collaborate with him as i love graffiti painters using there own language and his take on traditional Cantonese script is fresh! Also while out there i learned more about an OG graffiti writer in HK known as the ‘KING of KOWLOON’ who was painting script all city from the 1960s. Well XEME’s current style is a big nod to this legacy…."
