Synopsis
In February 1894 George Ernest Morrison started a journey from Shanghai in the east, through the heartland of China and into Burma. Alone, dressed in Chinese clothes, but without speaking a word of the language, Morrison travelled by foot, sedan chair, mule and boat. One hundred years later, Angus McDonald set out to follow him. Often travelling where no other Westerner has been for 50 years, McDonald found both change and, in some places, a way of life virtually unchanged since Morrison's time.

From the Publisher
Through text and one hundred photographs, this captivating travelogue depicts today's paradoxical China--at once the most dynamic emerging marketplace in the world and curiously unchanged since the nineteenth century.
Review
If the price tag seems high at first, consider this book's many color photos and rich detail: the photos are surprising in what seems another essay-type paperback travel book at first glance. In 1894 one George Morrison produced an international bestseller based on his lone journey across wild China: McDonald here retraces his steps in 1994, traversing many backroads and obscure paths. -- Midwest Book Review
