American travel writer Harry A Franck was known as the “Prince of Vagabonds”. He arrives in Southern China in 1923 to see a Hong Kong which is building modern department stores while labourers sleep on straw mats beside the harbor. In Macao he visits temples, forts and casinos. And then to Canton, where the ancient city walls are being demolished. Franck also gives us a detailed description of Shameen Island where gunboats protect the foreign enclave.
