Fun fact: At this time in 210 B.C., the first emperor of Qin was - unbeknownst to him - near the end of his fifth and final tour of the realm.
Having traveled through modern-day Hubei, Hunan, Anhui, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu Provinces, he fell ill in Pingyuan Ford 平原津 (modern NW Shandong Province). On September 10th, 210 B.C., the first man to unify China passed away in Shaqiu 沙丘, now Xingtai City 邢台市 in Hebei Province.
