About this product

Product Information

A hundred years ago, Mr Alex Hosie, the British consul in Chengtu (now Chengdu), China, set out on a three-month trek across southern China to the eastern border of Tibet. In addition to describing the perils of his journey across mountainous terrain, he gives a detailed account of the countryside and its flora and fauna. To the west of Ta-chien-lu (now Kangding), he finds the people are to all intents and purposes Tibetan, and provides a fascinating description of their customs and way of life from a distinctly European perspective.

    I buy from this seller all the time and believe them to be the best of the BIG second-hand UK sellers. Comms are excellent and they respond quickly and make a real effort to resolve issues. Pricing is good and descriptions accurate and fair. Postage is free so there won't be any extra packing but I've never had a problem with items damaged in transit.

    A smooth and professional transaction throughout. The item was exactly as described, clearly listed, and fairly priced. Communication from the seller was prompt, polite, and helpful, with dispatch confirmed quickly. The parcel was securely packaged and arrived in excellent condition, ahead of the expected delivery date. Care was taken at every stage of the process. I would be happy to buy from this seller again—many thanks for a reliable and well-handled sale.
