Description
Excerpt from On Off Duty in Annam
French indo-china forms the Eastern side of the indo-chinese peninsula. It is bounded to the east and south by the China Sea, to the north by the Chinese Empire, to the west by Burmah and Siam. Its greatest rivers are the Mekong and the Red River, which form, at their mouth, alluvial lands and rich deltas where the Tonkinese have settled in the north, the cochin-chinese and Cam bodians in the south. Between the valleys of the Mekong and Red River, extending over a distance of 1000 kilometres, stretches a chain of mountains, which proceeds from the Tibetan system by the Yunnan plateau.
