Building miniature models of the big world

Peng Yimin creates miniature buildings using mostly waste materials. Unlike his retired friends, who can spend all day playing mahjong, Peng Yimin prefers spending his time re-creating buildings－in miniature form. "Most of my works, including the China Pavilion of the World Expo, are being displayed in different institutions as well as at the school for senior citizens in Sijing town," Peng says. Although his creations may look impressive and incredibly detailed, Peng does not spend much on this hobby－he relies primarily on such waste materials as used bamboo chopsticks, discarded tri-ply wood, mooncake boxes, cigarette boxes and old fabrics. One of Peng's first miniature models was a replica of the Anfang Tower, a scenic spot in Sijing town that was part of the reconstruction project of the ancient town in 2002.
