## Review basis

BEIJING and regional captions are legible; the tea packer and the table in the hutong dominate alongside recognizable architecture. The outline is clean, color fields are separate and without haze.

Create an exceptional original flat illustration for a collectible tea-region ceramic wrap. The attached image is a STYLE reference, not a content reference: preserve its drawing intelligence, print character and relationship between title, scenes and empty glaze; replace every Guangdong-specific subject and word. Output one panoramic native 3840 x 1280 pixel PNG with a genuine RGBA alpha channel. All artwork, including lettering, must remain wholly inside x60..3780 and y110..1170. The upper and lower outside bands and the external negative space must be transparent, not white paint. The final production crop will be 3840 x 1152 pixels for a 250 x 75 mm wrap; do not draw dimensions, crop marks or a frame. No mug, mockup, photograph, simulated paper, decorative rectangular background, cast shadow, checkerboard or watermark.

DRAWING AND PRINT DISCIPLINE: Use confident authored linework, recognisable local silhouettes, selective flat colour and well-resolved hands, vessels and architecture. Details reward close looking but the main story reads across a small ceramic surface. Colour belongs to actual drawn objects or deliberate bounded accents. Transparent sky, river openings, architectural gaps and open vessel interiors are part of the design. Do not use a continuous opaque landscape base, atmosphere wash, cream substrate or enormous filled silhouette behind everything. Keep deliberate pauses between major masses without making a sticker sheet. Never cut off a letter, roof, person, handle or tree at the image boundary. Do not scatter repeated generic teapots as filler. Each featured tea action must communicate a different part of the region's tea story. This is an illustrated interpretation, not a navigable map: no compass, coordinate grid, dotted connectors, numbered pins, legend or tiny labels.

COLLECTION C5 — LANDMARK PARADE.
Three-ink friendly collector illustration with bold relaxed rounded pen outlines and a memorable double-contour regional title. Draw a lively continuous procession with real changes of height, overlapping contour and unequal object scale. Tea workers, architecture and regional vessels participate in the same visual rhythm. Spare flat colour accents; interiors largely open. The connection must be a plausible local promenade, street, ridge or water route, not an arbitrary baseline of identical icons. Charming observational details without cartoon faces on objects.

REGION: BEIJING. EXACT PALETTE: #702A2D, #C58B36, #587D79. Use only these opaque graphic inks and their clean antialiased edges; no white ink, black substitution or extra colours. Transparent negative space is not an additional ink.

A near shopkeeper weighs tea and ties a paper packet; the neighbouring courtyard host carries a kettle toward two seated guests. Their hutong roofs continue into a compact Forbidden City roofline, a round Temple of Heaven, a Summer Palace arched bridge and a small Mutianyu watchtower. Include a bicycle and tiny Tongzhou boat as local movement, plus a modest supplied jasmine sprig near the merchant. Rounded hand contours and a double-outline BEIJING give the print warmth without cartooning monuments into faces.

REGIONAL TRUTH: Beijing is a tea-consumption, merchant and teahouse city rather than a plantation region. Maliandao is an established tea-trade district. Jasmine tea is central to its everyday tea identity, with long-established tea merchants around Qianmen/Dashilan and other city districts. Its tea and scenting flowers are supplied from southern producing regions; do not portray tea or jasmine plantations in Beijing. Lao She Teahouse links tea to performance, and Laijin Yuxuan is a documented historic park teahouse. Hutong tea tables are an interpretive everyday scene, not a claim that a particular fictional shop exists. Never stage tea growing on the Great Wall or identify Jinshanling as inside Beijing.

SPECIFIC COMPOSITION: The procession has changing heights: low packet, medium neighbours, tall temple, then distant wall. Shared doorway and roof contours connect its main mass, with clear glaze under bridges and table. Keep every roof complete and refrain from adding microtiles or dense tiny windows.

TEXT: Main title exactly "BEIJING". Secondary labels, each once and attached to its correct scene: Jasmine Tea; Qianmen; Hutong; Mutianyu. No other text.

FINAL ART DIRECTION: Make every major group different in scale and gesture. Do not give every scene a surrounding halo or a separate base. A viewer should discover a clear regional idea at arm's length and then human actions, leaf shapes and local building features nearby. Keep the specified palette visible as actual graphic inks, not merely a tint over green scenery. Do not add unrequested slogans, stamps, logos, dates, Chinese characters or gibberish. The exact allowed English words below are the entire text vocabulary. Keep secondary words comfortably readable if allowed; omit a minor caption rather than shrinking it to microscopic lettering. Render the regional title exactly once and complete, with comfortable space around it. No extra title repeated on vessels or buildings. Draw a finished cohesive piece of print art, never a presentation board.
