A dragon made of straws
A single straw is not particularly impressive. But how about 83,600 straws together?
Yu Fangze, a 70-year-old artist of intangible cultural heritage in Jiujiang, Jiangxi province, spent four months weaving straws together into a dragon-shaped sculpture, reported chinanews.com on Monday.
The straw dragon weighs 35 kilograms with eleven sections and is 27.8 meters long.
