Description: This record of New Zealand's first overseas mountaineering trip from Burma to China begins at Myitkyina in north eastern Burma, the end of the railway line from Rangoon and not far from the Chinese Boarder. From Myitkyina the party made its way by mule caravan to Tengyueh (Tengueh) just across the Chinese boarder in Yunnan Province where there was a British Consulate. From there they travelled due east crossing the Salween (Nu Jiang) river on the way to Yungchang (Baoshan). Here they connected with a section of the China-Burma road. This took them across the Mekong (Lancang Jiang) river to the turn off to Dali (Tali) and Likiang (Lijiang) at the south western end of Lake Er hai. From Likiang they travelled 20 miles north to the upper reaches of the Yangtze Kiang (Jinsha Jiang) river where it cuts through the ranges of the Yulan Shan (Yulong Xue Shan) and Mount Sansato which was the goal of the expedition.
