[amor de cosmos]

well according to Wikipedia, there was a poet & government official called Fan Chengda who lived from 960-1279 who said "I often sent pictures of the hills of Guilin which I painted to friends back home, but few believed what they saw." (he probably could have said that about Guilin, Yangshuo or anywhere else along the Li River)
