## What it is
A browser-based application that procedurally generates infinitely-scrolling Chinese landscape paintings in SVG vector format. It uses Perlin noise and mathematical functions to model mountains and trees, inspired by traditional Chinese Shan Shui scroll paintings.

## Use cases
- generate procedural Chinese landscape paintings in the browser
- create infinitely scrolling generative art
- export vector SVG artwork of mountains and trees
- explore procedural generation with Perlin noise
- create traditional shan shui style scroll art
- use generative art as website backgrounds or decoration

## When to choose
- you want browser-based generative art with no installation
- you need vector SVG output for scalable artwork
- you want an infinite scrolling landscape experience
- you are exploring procedural generation techniques in JavaScript

## When to avoid
- you need raster or high-resolution bitmap output
- you want photorealistic landscape rendering
- you need a general-purpose procedural generation library to embed in your own pipeline
- you require active development or new features

## Facets
- artifact type: application
