This book is a report of a journey through the province of Yunnan in southwestern China. The journey was undertaken in the late 19th century by Edward Colborne Baber, a British diplomat, and Mr. Grosvenor, a Chinese official. The book contains detailed descriptions of the places they visited, the people they met, and the customs and practices of the region. It provides a fascinating insight into the political, cultural, and economic landscape of Yunnan at the time, and sheds light on the complex relationship between China and Britain in the late Qing dynasty.
