When I noticed this entry indicating a Changzhou scroll, I was compelled to investigate. After a series of letters, I was invited to Phoenix to view the scroll in person!

Welcome to Changzhou! Wang Hui1689 A.D.
Scroll 6 depicts Kangxi’s journey along the Grand Canal to Changzhou.
Wang Hui grew up in the relatively poor village of Yushan, near Changshu, Jiangsu Province… his home village being only 15 miles away from Changzhou!
This explains why he dedicated so much space and detail to this relatively small area.
