This book is divided into three parts, recording the author's three trips during his spare time at work. The first time was from Shanghai to Hangzhou and finally back to Ningbo; the second time was from Shanghai to Liyang, passing through Suzhou, Jiangyin, Wuxi, Yixing, Changzhou and other places; the third time was from Jiujiang to Wuhu. This book is very large in length, covers a lot of geographical areas, and discusses many issues. It not only contains detailed descriptions of traditional Chinese crafts such as oil pressing, coin casting, and weaving, but also records of prices and people's lives at that time, as well as records of Chinese folklore. It is a first-hand source of information to understand the situation in Shanghai and its surrounding areas at that time.
