Impressions of China from Manila to Hong Kong 1905
George Steunenberg recounts a Manila to Hong Kong voyage in April 1905 aboard the Rubi. He describes Hong Kong’s European quarter, the Peak excursion, and water views, then travels to Canton by river steamer encountering crowded alleys, chair rides, and a guide-led tour of markets, walls, pagoda, and the city’s vast population.
