About This Item

Shanghai: Kelly & Walsh, Limited, 1936. Very Good binding. Soochow [Suzhou] was much more accessible at the building of a railroad connecting it to Shanhai in 1911 and thus brought within the range of day-trips and making it a more desirable location for wealthy Chinese. "By 1936 it was possible...for F. R. Nance ...to write a detailed guidebook to Suzhou, naming it for the first time as 'the garden city', an appellation it retains in travel literature down to the present day" [Craig Clunas; "Fruitful Sites: Garden Culture in Ming Dynasty China", p. 202]. With attractive colored maps on the endsheets of The Waterways; plates from photographs by C. H. Wong, and 5 folding maps. An important guidebook. Very Good binding.
