I’m currently half way through my cycling trip along the Yellow River, just arrived in Lanzhou. Will do a summary post soon.
While in Lanzhou I was privileged to meet Yan Kunlong (闫昆龙), author of Journey of Discovery (发现之旅) a great book describing the travels and works of western botanists in southern Gansu (Gannan) in the early 20th century.
If you are interested in Frank Kingdon-Ward, Reginald Farrer and William Prudom, this is a wonderful read. It also has many great photos that make me want to travel to Gannan to visit these places. Meanwhile, I will continue my journey into Qinghai …
