Features: This book is written by a very remarkable figure—Robert Shaw (1839-1879, British)—during a very special period—the 1860s—and across a very unique route—from Kashmir to Yarkand. It serves as an original record of the political, ethnic, folk customs, and natural landscapes of Xinjiang over a century ago, holding invaluable significance for us to understand and recognize the social conditions of the southern Xinjiang region during that time.
