Описание: Benjamin Couch BC Henry was a missionary in Hong Kong and southern China in the second half of the 19th century. Yet he was much more too a keen observer, a skilled naturalist and an intrepid explorer. The bulk of his career in China was spent in what was then commonly known as Ling-nam, the Pearl River Delta and environs of Guangzhou (Canton). These excerpts of Henrys travelogue LING-NAM, published in 1886, contain one of the most detailed walking tours of Guangzhou that has survived. Similarly so his travels through the silk, tea and market garden regions adjoining the metropolis. And finally, we have Henrys ground-breaking account of his expeditions around Hainan Island in 1882, then the most extensive undertaken to date by a foreigner. Henrys portrait of southern China was built up over 20 years work and exploration in the region and provides one of the most in-depth looks at southern Chinese life from the growth of Hong Kong, to the bustling streets of Guangzhou, to Hainans Island of Palms. Describes the Canton, Hong Kong and remote Hainan Island of the 1880s. Written by an American missionary and educator in China who was much in demand as a speaker in the United States. Henrys journeys through the silk, tea and market garden regions of the Pearl River Delta are of interest and rarely discussed in such detail by foreign observers. Henrys expeditions to Hainan Island were the most extensive undertaken to date by a foreigner when he embarked on them in October and November 1882.
Описание: Inveterate Victorian traveller and prolific artist Constance Gordon-Cumming roamed far and wide: from the Scottish Highlands to the American West, from the islands of Hawaii to southern China. Even among her many adventures, Gordon-Cummings 1878/1879 trip to Hong Kong was momentous. She arrived just before Christmas 1878 to inadvertently witness the terrible Great Fire of Hong Kong that swept devastatingly through the Central and Mid-Levels districts. She then moved on to explorations of the streets, temples and Chinese New Year festivities in Canton (Guangzhou) before returning to Hong Kong for the horse races at Happy Valley in February 1879. Gordon-Cumming is that rare travel writer who while plunging into the throngs and crowds manages to observe the minutiae of life around her.. Describes the Canton and Hong Kong of the 1870s.A travelogue written by a fearless solo female traveller who was well-known for her books and magazine articles in the late Victorian period. Describes the traditional Chinese New Year festivities.
