● HallelujahMountain: In the middle of the journey, there is a single, very imposing peak stands erect, seemingly reaching to the sky, and it is the prototype of hallelujah mountain. distinct from its comrades, this one is small at its base and increases in size at the top. standing before it, we can get the sensation of tottering and crumbling. if you ride Leonopteryx(a huge bird in the movie AVTAR) and fly between peaks, you are in the real Pandora world.

● Back garden: A poet touring the wonderful Suzhou Gardens once wrote:“Other say I am in a city, but I insist that I am in the mountains.” Now, those gardens are world renowned, but after all, they are produced artificially, restricted by the craftsmen’s skill and limited by the available materials, the dimensions of the land, and the certain style of construction. But the “garden” which lies before us seems unrestrained: remarkable peaks appear to be strewn at random, some lofty and some diminutive; some have the appearance of towers, or pavilions, or chairs, while others resemble bonsais or statuaries. Indeed, some of these peaks have nothing that can be compared with, taking on every conceivable shape!

One day, he found people like to spread color cobblestones on the wall when repairing houses and it’s very pretty, which inspired his idea of painting with sandstone. Li Junsheng’s sandstone paintings break through the using of traditional painting materials and use nature materials by making use of the hue of natural plant creatively, are of great artistic values.
