Recommended model: GPT Image 2

Illustrate a charming bird's-eye map of the city, district, or neighborhood described in the user request in a mixed watercolor and colored-pencil style. Simplify the geography into a cute, loosely proportioned hand-drawn plan showing main roads, rivers or coastline, and recognizable landmarks, favoring warmth and personality over cartographic accuracy. Scatter roughly a dozen small painted vignettes across the map — local dishes, snacks, and sights, each around five percent of the frame — and label each with a generic handwritten venue name and a short affectionate recommendation note in casual script. Frame the whole map with a decorative border of vines, produce, or motifs drawn from the local culture, add a hand-drawn compass rose and a small legend in one corner, and place a chunky hand-lettered title in another, decorated with tiny food doodles. Keep the palette warm and appetizing, the linework wobbly and friendly, and all handwritten text legible in the language of the user request. Do not include real shop or brand names, watermarks, or logos. User request: Chengdu with hotpot, skewers, and teahouses

Prompting tips

  • List 8–12 specific dishes or sights so each gets its own labeled vignette instead of generic filler
  • Add one-line stories for a few spots, like 'the stall that opens at 4 am' — they become the handwritten notes
  • Name the local motifs you want in the border, such as chili peppers, waves and shells, or cherry blossoms
