古人的读万卷书、行万里路...

For folks that had been to Mt Kinabalu... You will see a famous phrase... "i see.. i climb... i conquer..." For  this terra-cotta trip, it's like the chinese quote... "读万卷书,行万里路..." It meant that in the olden days, the folks had correlated learning from reading scrolls together with experiencing via voyage.  It's like the right formula in their pursue for knowledge.  Well, this trip had been very educational and relaxing (own time, own target).  It's almost like a physical walk down the history time-line of ancient China and seeing it for yourself, how the conquerors of China build their era empire.  Ironically to me, most of the historians were remembered and closely studied if they left behind magnificent architectural structure (in large scale).
