Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Northern China, the Valley of the Blue River, Korea
These far-eastern countries offer many curious studies to the geographer, the ethnologist and the naturalist; to archeologists and artists, a wealth of ancient monuments only recently explo red, to tourists a great variety of country. The railway, every day extending further afield, is bringing within reach fresh beauties of nature, historic or venerated spots, new mineral wealth: lin king the two banks of the Blue River, it will, to-morrow, by the trans-chinese carry the traveller from Manchuria and Peking to the opposite confines of the Empire to the teeming city of Canton and even to the vast emporium of Hong-kong.
