Chinese artist with photographic memory draws Victoria Harbour entirely from memory (VIDEO)

Is there a better use of a God-given talent like photographic memory than to draw the entirety of the Victoria Harbour? Nope.

Xin Zhe, 23, is an artist from Shandong who wanted to see if he could draw the Fragrant Harbour entirely from memory after he saw Stephen Wiltshire, a British man with autism, recreate entire cities with nothing but pencil and paper after a single helicopter ride.

The artist took a helicopter ride, and 18 days and 60 pencils later he had draw the harbour, complete with all 7,000 skyscrapers that call it home. The astoundingly detailed finished piece is 10 metres long.
