The Maastricht Academy of Fine Arts will be exploring Kircher’s China Illustrata in a very different way to us this semester!

Always on the Road

After 16 days of traveling crossing China from the eastern-most point to the western-most one we could go, we caught a flight and (even if many hours later + Chinese airline delays) in a day or so we were back to good old Maastricht! For Gruber and d’Orville it was not so easy to go…

The 31st of July 1661, our two brave Jesuits left Xining and head towards Lhasa traveling for three months trough the Tibetan Plateau.

Gruber and Dorville report arriving in the city of Sining, today named Xining, after two months after they had left Beijing.The distance travelled by the Jesuits and us is of about 1800 km and two months is a pretty impressing record to go all the way! We took about 10 days thanks to the Chinese…

Gruber and Dorville report crossing the Yellow River two times in their trip trough China, however they do not mention how or where they cross it. The Yellow River is often so big that it resembles a lake and, after having stood by its shores, we can imagine how hard it could have been to…
