Walking Ten Thousand Miles

In the description of Chinese writers, they say that to walking ten thousand miles is better than reading ten thousand books for the purpose of knowledge. To some extent, it may be right, but, if we think deeply, it should be wrong.
To visit to an unknown place as a kind of travel which is entirely different from the way of achieving knowledge from books.
We are human with wisdom, different from animals. Where we get our knowledge? From books, of course, as books were written by our ancestors whose experience of success and failure guide us to go a right way of life.
To get enjoyment from travel is practical, but to obtain knowledge is wrong. Our whole life is not very long, and we should seize our time to priorities our purpose life.
To enjoy holidays, travel is the right choice, but for knowledge, we can watch documentaries which were taken by many people who risk their lives and time to make a documentary film.
