Great idea! (for us westeners anyway)

Below is my actual rendition of this idea:



For the palace and the river, I'm using vynil strips (cut from a placemat), Seirawan Elephants for the Chinese Elephants, Orthodox Bishops as the Guards, and homemade Cannons.



For the Cannons I used drilled beheaded Rooks (I used the Rook tops to glue on Knights to make Chancellors).
