About this book
Reginald Johnston, a district officer and magistrate at Weihaiwei, travelled from North China to Burma and wrote up the route in 1908. He says he went for no government and no scientific body, only from a long wish to see the least-known parts of the Chinese Empire and the tribes of Chinese Tibet and north-western Yunnan. The chapters follow the stages in order: the Yangtse gorges, Chengtu, Mount Omei and Chinese Buddhism, Tachienlu, the Yalung River, Muli, Tali-fu, Bhamo and Mandalay. A chapter on the ethnology of the far west, vocabularies, an itinerary and a map complete it.
