Generation prompt
Use case: stylized-concept Asset type: website attraction card and detail hero, 3:2 landscape Primary request: Create a clearly non-photographic hand-painted watercolor landmark impression for the Xihu Jingsheng Pavilion cultural site in Xihu Township, Miaoli County, grounded only in official township and Ministry of the Interior cultural facts: a rare three-tier local-sandstone paper-burning pavilion associated with Xuanwang Temple, with a small stone earth-god shrine nearby. Focus on the documented stone pavilion form; keep any background temple as a faint generic silhouette, not an exact building. Style/medium: consistent Miaoli Life watercolor-and-gouache editorial illustration on textured paper, visible brushwork, unmistakably an illustration. Composition/framing: wide 3:2, a modest three-tier sandstone pavilion centered in a simple forecourt, tiny stone earth-god shrine off to the side, subdued greenery, mobile-safe center. Lighting/mood: calm natural daylight, respectful cultural atmosphere. Constraints: no people, faces, worship activity, incense branding, readable text, Chinese characters, signs, brands, logos, watermark, copied photographic viewpoint, exact temple facade, additional ornate buildings, or photorealism. Do not imply an onsite photograph or exact current configuration.
