Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Peking and the Overland Route: With Maps, Plans, and Illustrations
Fortunately, beyond a mere fringe of the coast-line of this great grandsire of empires, no such efforts or changes have as yet taken place, and today the Chinese people are as simple and primitive in their habits and customs as they have been for ages past.
