Sichuan — Чайная у начала горной дороги

Create an original collectible regional ceramic PRINTING DECAL, not a mug or mockup. The supplied image is a drawing/style benchmark only: replace every reference-region subject and word with the researched region described below. Make a confident, rewarding composition whose tea craft, architecture and landscape belong together.
OUTPUT: PNG RGBA, native 3840 x 1280 px. Keep every mark inside x=60..3780 and y=110..1170; use nearly the whole long strip. The final export is 3840 x 1152 px for 250 x 75 mm. Do not shrink the entire design to a central 16:9 picture. Preserve normal object proportions and complete edge objects.
ALPHA: genuine transparent exterior and natural transparent openings inside the drawing. No white or cream rectangle, paper texture, sky wash, sea fill, provincial silhouette, checkerboard, aura, gradient or drop shadow. Unpainted architecture, water and negative openings reveal alpha. Colour belongs to actual drawn objects, never a vague backdrop. Do not reproduce any opaque field visible in the reference.
For C1–C6, create ONE connected varied panorama with two or three unequal anchors, overlapping near/middle/far scales and smaller discoveries. Connect through real terrain, streets, roofs, branches and human actions, not dotted diagram routes. No two-row sticker sheet, isolated equal scenes, caption boxes, repetitive generic gardens or an empty band under the title. Do not impose a percentage of blank space. C7 instead follows its explicit irregular album direction below.
English lettering only, exact spelling, dark clear capitals for allowed captions. One main regional title. No Chinese characters, logos, invented seals, pseudo-writing, promotional superlatives or health claims. A short legible caption is preferable to microscopic text. Respect the stated distinctions between growing tea, processing it, trading it and serving it. A full research inventory need not become a printed gazetteer.

COLLECTION: AN INTIMATE HAND-DRAWN ATLAS. Follow GD01: richly observed buildings, objects, plants and lived tea culture, in three inks. Draw disciplined collector engraving with beautiful changes of scale. A curved scenic backbone links two unequal hero stories; smaller details share the terrain. An elegant serif title belongs among roofs or ridges. No independent encyclopaedia panels.
REGION: SICHUAN.
PALETTE: #385A37, #BA4244, #97A657. Preserve this regional colour family; first colour supplies the strongest contour/text. Extra dark/light rendering colours and full-colour watercolour are not wanted.
RESEARCHED CONTENT:
Preserve the map's contrasts: high western Hengduan/Qionglai peaks, a tea carrier caravan and suspension bridge, Mengding gardens, Emei temple mountain, a recognisable seated Leshan cliff Buddha, basin teahouse roofs, panda with bamboo, and a river junk between eastern rocks. The Buddha is a distant landscape landmark, not a teapot or serving character. Bring real tea into the near plane with a Mengding maker, Ya'an brick-pressing table, Qianwei jasmine leaves/flowers and Chengdu gaiwan on a bamboo-chair tea table. Yibin early buds and northern Micang gardens are small discoveries. Water and suspension-bridge gaps remain alpha. The eastern gorge is a generic map motif; do not claim it is the Three Gorges. Avoid filling the entire province with mountains or using pandas instead of tea content.
AUTHORED COMPOSITION:
A close Chengdu teahouse veranda at centre-right holds two bamboo chairs, a gaiwan and a long-spout kettle resting safely on a stand. Its roof rhythm leads left to Mengding craft and a Ya’an packing court, where a carrier starts toward a small suspension bridge. Western snowy peaks are distant above this path. On the other side a small Emei roof and seated Leshan cliff Buddha join open river contours toward a junk. A minor panda and two bamboo stalks occupy one quiet basin edge. Three-ink engraving is rich in tea-room timber and hands but avoids dark fills; the bridge cables and interior gaps stay clear.
LETTERING PLAN:
SICHUAN once; supporting captions only CHENGDU, MENGDING, YAAN, EMEI, LESHAN, YIBIN.
REGIONAL SAFEGUARDS:
Green Ganlu, yellow Huangya, dark Ya’an tea and Chuanhong black tea must not share one false process. Jasmine scenting includes real tea leaves. Bamboo-leaf and sparrow-tongue tea names are not literal ingredients. No named Three Gorges, no snowy tea fields, no fantasy historic dates or therapeutic claims. Panda is a minor travel motif, never the main tea identity.
FINAL STANDARD: sharply drawn object edges, deliberate line hierarchy, vivid meaningful local differences and a recognisable whole place. Protect the main title and key silhouettes; never solve complexity by making everything equally tiny.
