欲 穷 千里目，
gèng shàng yī céng lóu
更上一层 楼 。

The sun is setting down by leaning the mountain; the Yellow River is flowing towards the sea. If you want to see the further scenes far away , you should step up another floor.

This poem indicates such a wide and powerful bourn that it expresses the broad mind and ambition of the poet.
