Boring? i disagree...
The Chinese authorities say its a facility for putting tanks and tank drivers through their paces.
How does that work on a 1:500 scale model?
And why is it a representation of a particular area of the Indo-Chinese border?
(which Chinese authorities have not commented on, despite the fact it blatantly is - check pics in my first link)
Maybe it's to help drivers familiarise themselves with the landscape, but it seems an awful lot of expense to go to for a glorified map.

I don't think I could remember all that, and then apply my memory to something 500 times bigger.
Wouldn't a map help them out a bit more? Or GPS?
Also, I wouldn't like to drive a tank over that lot. I think It'd get stuck, or fall off someting.
Maybe they are exapnding on the foot binding idea and making mini people?

There's too many home fires burning and not enough trees
