As we slid down rapid after rapid in the hourly increasing current, it was difficult to realize the arduous struggle we had sustained with each projecting rock, in our toilsome ascent. "We moored for the last night at Hwang ling Miao, the point in the upward journey that porphyry and granitic rocks are first met with, and going ashore for a stroll before sunset, I had my last look at the wild valley, with its scattered piles of huge rocks illuminated by the setting sun. This valley forms an exception to the continuous ranges of calcareous and sedimentary rocks through which the river cuts its way in its course from Ping-shan, the highest navigable spot to the plains of Hupeh, a distance of 800 miles. The range out of which this valley has been cut, and of which Hwang ling Miao marks the eastern termination, would seem to form the axial centre of elevation of the whole of this mountain district. On its flanks, to the east and to the west, lie the gently tilted strata of sedimentary rocks, through which the channel flows in clean-cut gorges. Here, on the other hand, the water has disintegrated the crystalline material, and left the less soluble rocks strewn around in colossal fragments. Through and past these gigantic stone heaps the river threads its way, and, at points where the water is...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book Southwest China in Regional and Global Perspectives (c. 1600-1911) is dedicated to important issues in society, trade, and local policy in the southwestern provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan during the late phase of the Qing period. It combines the methods of various disciplines to bring more light into the neglected history of a region that witnessed a faster population growth than any other region in China during that age. The contributions to the volume analyse conflicts and arrangements in immigrant societies, problems of environmental change, the economic significance of copper as the most important “export” product, topographical and legal obstacles in trade and transport, specific problems in inter-regional trade, and the roots of modern transnational enterprise.
