Ouyang, a big fan of Chongqing in Southwest China, uses intangible cultural heritage forms of grasscloth and collage to display the city. He has represented the landscapes of the mountains, waters and city of Chongqing in the past and the current times. His works are with Chongqing features, for example, stilted houses, the cableway and a light-rail train passing through an apartment.
