Hubei — From steam tray to tea boat

Create an original collectible regional ceramic PRINTING DECAL, not a mug or mockup. The supplied image is a drawing/style benchmark only: replace every reference-region subject and word with the researched region described below. Make a confident, rewarding composition whose tea craft, architecture and landscape belong together.
OUTPUT: PNG RGBA, native 3840 x 1280 px. Keep every mark inside x=60..3780 and y=110..1170; use nearly the whole long strip. The final export is 3840 x 1152 px for 250 x 75 mm. Do not shrink the entire design to a central 16:9 picture. Preserve normal object proportions and complete edge objects.
ALPHA: genuine transparent exterior and natural transparent openings inside the drawing. No white or cream rectangle, paper texture, sky wash, sea fill, provincial silhouette, checkerboard, aura, gradient or drop shadow. Unpainted architecture, water and negative openings reveal alpha. Colour belongs to actual drawn objects, never a vague backdrop. Do not reproduce any opaque field visible in the reference.
For C1–C6, create ONE connected varied panorama with two or three unequal anchors, overlapping near/middle/far scales and smaller discoveries. Connect through real terrain, streets, roofs, branches and human actions, not dotted diagram routes. No two-row sticker sheet, isolated equal scenes, caption boxes, repetitive generic gardens or an empty band under the title. Do not impose a percentage of blank space. C7 instead follows its explicit irregular album direction below.
English lettering only, exact spelling, dark clear capitals for allowed captions. One main regional title. No Chinese characters, logos, invented seals, pseudo-writing, promotional superlatives or health claims. A short legible caption is preferable to microscopic text. Respect the stated distinctions between growing tea, processing it, trading it and serving it. A full research inventory need not become a printed gazetteer.

COLLECTION: A SWEEPING REGIONAL JOURNEY. Follow GD03: energetic angular pen contours, bold slanted region lettering, selective directional hatching and three clear inks. Compose a shallow diagonal or S-shaped journey carried by a real regional movement motif. Bold near craft and people interlock with farther landmarks and terrain. Clean graphic edges, never watercolour, fuzzy labels or sticker scenes.
REGION: HUBEI.
PALETTE: #194C58, #AE3944, #80A58B. Preserve this regional colour family; first colour supplies the strongest contour/text. Extra dark/light rendering colours and full-colour watercolour are not wanted.
RESEARCHED CONTENT:
Keep the source map's western gorge cliffs and junk, high Wudang temple silhouette, Shennongjia/Daba forest ridges, southwest Enshi/Wufeng tea terraces and timber stilt-house eaves, a broad Yangtze passage with distinct Han tributary, Wuhan tower silhouette, an old stone arch bridge, lake boats and a few Honghu lotus stems. Tea anchors: Enshi steaming and needle shaping, Lichuan/Yidu black-tea rolling, Chibi brick press, Wufeng picker and a Wuhan trading table. The river/port story is trade, not tea cultivation. Use the map's tower as a recognisable regional silhouette without inventing additional ornate buildings everywhere. Lotus stays a wetland plant, not an ingredient mixed into every tea. Transparent water is defined by edges and a few lines, not a blue printed sea.
AUTHORED COMPOSITION:
The open lid of a near Enshi steam tray creates the first bold diagonal. A maker’s arm leads into a Wufeng picking path, then curves through Yidu rolling to an open river passage and a trade boat at right. The inside of the curve holds Chibi brick work, with a low stone bridge beyond. A compact western gorge and distant Wudang ridge counter the taller Wuhan tower. Slanted HUBEI follows the river sweep while remaining whole and clear. Use sharp angular contours, sparse hatch marks and three colours only; avoid blurred steam, decorative route dots or one false river connecting every mountain directly.
LETTERING PLAN:
HUBEI once; supporting captions only ENSHI, WUFENG, YIDU, CHIBI, WUDANG, WUHAN.
REGIONAL SAFEGUARDS:
Enshi Yulu uses steam fixation; do not replace it with a roast-only story or call it the only steamed tea. Qingzhuan is dark tea, not green tea. Lichuan/Yidu black tea and Yuan’an yellow tea remain distinct. Lotus and medicinal herbs are not substituted for Camellia. No selenium-health claims, invented monastic rituals, or plantations across Wuhan/Honghu lake water.
FINAL STANDARD: sharply drawn object edges, deliberate line hierarchy, vivid meaningful local differences and a recognisable whole place. Protect the main title and key silhouettes; never solve complexity by making everything equally tiny.
