An interactive web experience based on the classic painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival is drawing attention: users "cross over" into the scroll, controlling the journey by scrolling, dragging, or swiping.

Features include scrubbing a progress bar to replay the bridge assembling and figures coalescing, chatting with a painted character about the Rainbow Bridge and tea shops, a "scatter and regroup" effect that dissolves figures into particles, and free-roaming exploration of the Bianjing street market—strolling, sipping tea, and boating.
