I'm talking about anything within a day trip of your location. That you've never been to.

Why have you never gone? What's keeping you from going now?

The site of one of the most interesting historical battles I know of—赤壁之战/Battle of Red Cliffs—is about a 1.5 hour drive away from my home. Despite my fascination with history, and with both the history of and the novel of Three Kingdoms-era China, I haven't ever been despite having lived within that 1.5 hour drive for over 20 years.

I'm not sure why I haven't gone. Maybe mostly just not having anybody to go with who's as interested in it as I am.

As a huge Dynasty Warriors and Three Kingdoms fan (I own a copy thats 2400 pages!) I'd go with you... but there's the whole issue of the Pacific Ocean being in the way.
