China landscape and woodland

The national relief uses sourced elevation and Natural Earth geography. Miniature woodland follows historical ESA WorldCover 2021 display anchors; its crowns are artistic symbols made from Rico Cilliers’ CC0 Tree Small 02, not surveyed individual trees or current vegetation.

Beijing architectural miniature

An original miniature inspired by the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, using its three blue eaves, red timber and white-stone terraces. It marks Beijing at an artistic display scale; it is not a measured restoration or a building footprint.

Temple of Heaven Park · UNESCO · Model and sources

Miniature landscape assets

Project-authored terrain landmarks and branches, with CC0 rock scans and photographic needles from Poly Haven. These are artistic landscape interpretations, not scans of the named destinations.

Tree and rock provenance

Local 3D landscape interpretations

The Wulingyuan and Blue Moon Valley scenes combine sourced regional elevation with authored rocks, woodland and shores. Generic Mountainside and Fir Sapling assets are CC0 works from Poly Haven; they are not scans of these destinations. Blue Moon Valley uses historical February 2025 Sentinel imagery to guide broad material zones, not to describe current snow or vegetation. Real destination photographs are credited separately.

Hangzhou hill-structure study

The study draws ridge and valley structure from public regional elevation, with an explicit artistic scale and height treatment. The miniature lake, pavilion and bridge are original scenery; they do not reconstruct a surveyed West Lake site.

Regional asset study

The regional view retains sourced Mapzen/Tilezen SRTM elevation at its original height scale. Contains modified Copernicus Sentinel data 2026, acquired on 11 October; historical satellite colour is not current scenery or close-range photography. The broadleaf crowns are baked views of Rico Cilliers’ Tree Small 02, a Poly Haven CC0 model, enlarged and arranged artistically. They are not scans of local tree species or a forest inventory.
