About Quad Pā
Ko Quad he pā kei roto i tētahi whare porowhā o mua kei te pokapū o Beijing. Kāore te hanganga taketake i noho haumaru, nā reira i uaua ai te whakapakari me te hanga anō. Ka tāpirihia e te whakahoutanga ngā mahi hou i te wā e mau tonu ana te āhua o te takiwā o te tāone tawhito. Ka whakamahia te raima mō te mata o waho, ā, ko te rākau mō te whakapaipai o roto. Ka whakataurite te hoahoa i ngā takirua whakatauārai e toru: te hou me te tawhito, te māhaki me te taumata teitei, te tauhokohoko me te noho whakahōmiromiro. Ka tiakina te matatapu kia āta hono ai te pā ki te takiwā rongonui o mua e karapoti ana.
