Product Description
Between July and December 1170, Lu You, a Chinese poet, politician and historian travelled from east to west China to take up an administrative post. His remarkable 1,800-mile journey took him from near modern Shanghai to Sichuan province along the mighty Grand Canal - begun in the sixth century and today the oldest and longest canal in the world - and the Yangzi River through the famous Yangzi Gorges.
