登鹳雀楼 Climbing Stork Tower
Wang Zhihuan 王之涣 · Tang, early 8th century
A view of the Yellow River leads to a familiar wish to go a step further.
白日依山尽，黄河入海流。 bái rì yī shān jìn, huáng hé rù hǎi liú.
The sun sinks out of sight beside the mountains; the Yellow River flows into the sea.
欲穷千里目，更上一层楼。 yù qióng qiān lǐ mù, gèng shàng yī céng lóu.
To see as far as a thousand li, go up another storey.
