In February 1894 George Ernest Morrison started a journey from Shanghai in the east, through the heartland of China and into Burma. Alone, dressed in Chinese clothes, but without speaking a word of the language, Morrison travelled by foot, sedan chair, mule and boat. One hundred years later, Angus McDonald set out to follow him. Often travelling where no other Westerner has been for 50 years, McDonald found both change and, in some places, a way of life virtually unchanged since Morrison’s time.
