Publisher's Synopsis
Ask a dozen Chinese what 'Chiangnan' means, and they'll give you a dozen different answers. For some the word conjures forests of pine and bamboo. For others, they envision hillsides of tea, or terraces of rice, or lakes of lotuses and fish. In the fall of 1991, Bill Porter decided to travel through this vaporous land, following the old post roads that still connected its administrative centres and scenic wonders. This is a record in words and black and white images of his trip.
