About the book

Isabella Bird's The Yangtze Valley and Beyond records her remarkable travels through China at the end of the nineteenth century. Bird journeyed through cities, river valleys and remote regions rarely visited by Western travellers of her period. Her account combines vivid descriptions of landscapes and communities with observations of customs, transport and everyday life, making it an important work of Victorian travel writing.
