From Peking to Mandalay : A Journey from North China to Burma through Tibetan Ssuch'uan and Yunnan

Colonial administrator and scholar Reginald Fleming Johnston (1874–1938) travelled widely in the Far East, and came to deeply appreciate Chinese culture. This 1908 account of a six-month journey across China to Burma is a valuable description of Chinese society at the beginning of the twentieth century.
