Avis Simmons, one tourist said "When I look at it, I see him painting the community. And that's one of the things that I love that he is painting to capture the community, the layout of the buildings and different shades and colors of the buildings, which I thought was really really nice."

Inspired by western 3D chalk street paintings, Qi started focussing on multi-dimensional art in 2002 having enrolled in the Central Academy of Fine Arts

Another of his paintings, "Lions Gate Gorge", was acknowledged as the world's largest 3D painting by the Guinness Book of Records in February this year.
