Shown on the map, the long journey Mr. Fullerton took from Simao in China to Luang Prabang in Laos.
The blue line you see in the middle down the map, is the well known river Mekong.

***************************************

There was  little time for preparation before departure, and since Fullerton was in a hurry he immediately took off. 
Since there was no regularly transportation- service between the two Countries at that time, Fullerton took the long journey by travelling on horseback. It took round six days with very few stop-overs, and with all possible speed.
