The guide offers a systematic survey of a northeastern alpine-foothill region, combining physical geography, geology and hydrology with climate, flora and fauna, and human geography. It presents tectonic and glacial formations, watercourses and karst features, and meteorological patterns; provides botanical and zoological descriptions and zonal distributions; examines population statistics, ethnolinguistic traits, settlement patterns, agriculture, local industries and commerce; and supplies practical information on routes, passes and municipalities. The volume includes maps, illustrations and contributions from specialists to assist travelers, scholars and local administrators in understanding landscape, resources and infrastructure.
