Vintage Elephant Slides Reborn as 3D-Printed Memory Guides in Guangzhou

City Life | Recently, a set of 3D-printed toys modeled after these 10 surviving terrazzo elephant slides went viral online. In the past, these sturdy slides in Guangzhou's parks and neighborhoods carried generations of children's laughter. As cities modernize, fewer well-preserved elephant slides remain. Now, reborn as 3D-printed toys, they inspire people to reconnect with shared urban memories.

近日，一套以广州现存10座水磨石大象滑梯为原型设计的3D打印玩具在社交平台走红。过去，广州的公园、社区里的水磨石大象滑梯，用宽厚的脊背驮起几代人的童年欢笑。随着城市更新，保存完好的大象滑梯逐渐减少。如今，它们“变身”为3D打印玩具，激发大家共同追寻城市记忆。
