1982 Tour of China Scrapbook

There was once a fine lady who loved to travel. After every adventure, she would commit her memories to a scrapbook. Sadly, this lady recently died. Her family loved her scrapbooks. But because there were so many, they offered the scrapbook from the lady's trip to China in 1982. Each of the pages were scanned and cleaned up (it's been nearly 25 years, after all!)

Chinese Adventure

I apologize there is not more information about our benefactor or the trip. But I found the contents left behind very interesting from an historical standpoint. I attempted to keep the material close to the order in which it was added to the original scrapbook. I hope you enjoy looking at the material.

The only things missing are newspaper articles from the time just after the trip. They are rather large in size, but interesting historically as well. Check back for these, once I solve the logistics!




The travelers flew to PRC from Tokyo to Beijing, X'ian, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Guilin, Guangzhou, Hong Kong (then territory ruled by Britian) and back to the USA in 19 days.
