The work captures the author's journey through the western provinces of China and Mongolia, focusing on her personal impressions and encounters with local cultures. The narrative provides insights into the pre-revolutionary landscape of China, highlighting both the beauty and complexity of a civilization that is simultaneously ancient and on the cusp of change.  At the start of her journey, the author describes the anticipation and preparations leading to her expedition across West China, specifically her entry via Tonking into Yunnan. She details her travel arrangements, including the hiring of local coolies and the selection of practical equipment for the journey. The opening portion reflects her eagerness to experience the heart of China away from the typical tourist routes, as well as her initial observations about the local landscape, infrastructure, and the diverse peoples she encounters. Throughout, Kendall emphasizes not only her personal experiences but also the socio-political context of China during this transformative period.
