Read the geography, then choose a chapter

The map establishes the cross-province scale. Each regional image stays with its own chapter below, so geography and visual evidence never stand in for one another.

Route map34 province-level paths with 6 numbered route points representing 6 stops.

Let every day read as its own travel story

The complete summary always stays in view. Open one day for its source-backed order, any available day image and adjustment notes. Only one day opens at a time.
