Unbelievable array of wonderfully crafted images. News of the event went all over the world instantly.

It would have been tremendous for your parents to see it in person. It would be unlike all other experiences. Ancient Chinese 3 dimensional figures are phenomenal, far beyond any kind of price.

Had to look for the map:

That would have been a spectacular trip for your parents, Rhiannon, or anyone thoughtful enough to choose it.

Thank you for sharing the information.
