This is one of those toys (in this case, a themed series) that makes you say, "Why didn't I think of that?" Archiquest took famous architectural themes from around the world- Ancient China is the subject in this set- and re-imagined them in intricate and stunningly colorful detail on wooden blocks. The result? A visually exotic and educational take on a classic toy.
