Kunming canals, 1944
Interesting to see how the canals - and the centre of Kunming - have changed so much in the last 80 years!.

Dr Joseph Rock was an Austrian-American botanist who explored the Tibetan borderlands of Sichuan and Yunnan in the 1920s and 30s. This is about my travels to revisit the places he described in the National Geographic magazine. Any questions? contact me at beijingweek AT gmail
