[Post 1119] How A Chinese Millennial's Miniature City For Cats Took Over The Internet | Hobsessions


Summary

This episode introduces two remarkable miniaturists who transform everyday life into tiny universes rich with detail and emotion. In Henan, China, celebrity creator Xing Zhilei brings fantasy to life with fully functional miniature houses and entire themed worlds, including his famous “cat city,” complete with working lights, tiny cookware, and intricate rooms that mirror reality on an impossible scale.
Closer to home in Singapore, Anthony Ong spends his evenings building nostalgic dioramas inspired by local culture and familiar spaces. His most impressive work is a detailed miniature of a scene in the Jurong East MRT station, crafted with painstaking accuracy as a tribute to the place he passes through every day. Together, Xing and Anthony show how patience, imagination, and obsession can shrink the world into something you can hold — tiny realms where craft meets wonder.
