Up the main ramp in the Jingzhou Ancient City Keep
From the top of the ramp
That lance weighs 88lbs, and is what they used to carry into battle(!) hernia anyone?
ramp on the left for horses, the steps on the right for humans
I think this might be Zhuge Liang (Chu-ko Liang)

inscriptions found on the horse ramps - dated older than the great wall of china
