Journey

The rest of this site is organised by building. This section is organised by the trip: how the place was reached, what it felt like to stand there, and the practical detail you would want if you were going yourself.

Each chapter pairs a first-hand account with a guide reflecting conditions at the time of the visit — transport, borders, money, and what you are and are not allowed to photograph. Everything is written in both English and Traditional Chinese, because almost none of this material exists in Chinese at all.
