The Lost Heart of Asia

Thubron's journey took him to places many travelers overlook. I'm curious what motivated these specific destinations and stories.

The vivid descriptions made me feel like I was there, but I wonder if others found the geography so immersive that it sparked a desire to see these places in person.

The mix of history and personal story felt seamless, but I wonder what led to the decision to emphasize one over the other at different points.
