Shanshui, which means mountain and water, is an East Asian traditional brush painting involving natural landscapes. This paper proposes an interactive and generative system based on a Generative Adversarial Network(GAN), which helps users draw Shanshui easily. We name this system and installation ShanshuiDaDA. ShanshuiDaDA is trained with CycleGAN and wrapped with a web-based interface. When participants scribble lines and sketch the landscape, the ShanshuiDaDA will assist them in generating and creating a Chinese "Shanshui" painting in real time.
