This volume presents a new and complete translation of the thirteenth-century travel record compiled by Li Zhichang (1193-1255), a disciple of Daoist master Qiu Chuji (1148-1227), detailing the master's round-trip journey from north China to the Hindu Kush in 1221-23, at the invitation of Chinggis Qan. A unique eyewitness account of the early Mongol empire through Chinese eyes, this edition includes all of Qiu's poetry, an appendix of related documents, and concise annotations informed by the latest scholarship.
