Note:
Detailed map showing the route taken from Hangzhou (Hang-Tchoo-Foo) to Guangzhou (Quang-Tchoo-Foo) published in Staunton's 'An Authentic Account of an Embassy from the King of Great Britain to the Emperor of China'. This map details George Macartney's -an Anglo-Irish diplomat- Embassy to China, the first British embassy to that country, undertaken between 1792 and 1794. The map depicts the second part of Macartney's return from the summer palace at Chengde -north of Beijing- after meeting the Emperor. He returned to Beijing overland, before traveling south to Hangzhou on the Yangtze River delta via the Great Canal of China, they passed Nankin on route to Guangzhou, where they met the ships that were to take them home. Diplomatically, the mission was a complete failure, as the Emperor proved entirely unwilling to consider trade concessions, however, the trip yielded Europeans valuable new information on China's geography and social customs.
