Dingle, Edwin John, 1881-1972

"Across China on Foot"

" These "Copper Kettle Lanes" are found in many large
cities.--E.J.D.]


BOOK II.

The second part of my trip was from almost the extreme east to the
extreme west of Yuen-nan--from Tong-ch'uan-fu to Bhamo, in British Burma.
The following was the route chosen, over the main road in some
instances, and over untrodden roads in others, just as circumstances
happened:
Tong-ch'uan-fu to Yuen-nan-fu (the capital city) 520 li.
Yuen-nan-fu to Tali-fu 905 li.
Tali-fu to Tengyueh (Momien) 855 li.
Tengyueh to Bhamo (Singai) 280 English
miles approx.
I also made a rather extended tour among the Miao tribes, in country
untrodden by Europeans, except by missionaries working among the people.
