Three Years In Western China is a travelogue written by Alexander Hosie, detailing his experiences during three separate journeys through the Chinese provinces of Ssu-Chu'an, Kuei-Chow, and Yun-Nan. Originally published in 1890, the book provides a fascinating insight into the culture, geography, and politics of China during the late 19th century, as well as the challenges faced by Western explorers during this time. Hosie's narrative is richly detailed, and he describes everything from the landscapes and wildlife he encountered to the customs and traditions of the local people. He also provides a unique perspective on the political situation in China at the time, including the impact of the Opium Wars and the ongoing struggle between the Chinese government and various rebel factions. Overall, Three Years In Western China is an engaging and informative read for anyone interested in Chinese history, culture, or travel writing.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
