The Catholic missionaries at Cizhong: new article with colour photos
On my substack site I posted an article with colourised photos telling the story of Cizhong Catholic
church in Yunnan, and the Swiss missionaries who built it.
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
