Features: This book is a travelogue of a merchant from the height of the British Empire in Xinjiang. Despite its colonialist bias and inaccuracies in many historical accounts of Xinjiang, it still has merits: he meticulously recorded the mountainous terrain, transportation routes, natural resources, and the political situation of southern Xinjiang during that period. At that time, foreign invaders were entrenched in southern Xinjiang of our country, and Chinese documents had relatively scarce records of this region.
