Abstract
This book combines academic research with experiences recorded during field explorations undertaken by foreign adventurers, and relates Xinjiang's history, geography and present conditions. It includes rare pictures of historical materials and cultural relics and photographic comparisons of past and present conditions. Its explanation of folklore and lifestyle in Xinjiang's various localities makes it all the more readable.
