To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The river drains a country almost entirely mountainous, the great exception being the lowlying delta on which the great port of entry. Canton, stands. The climate is semi-tropical over the greater part of the area, and the country is rich both in agricultural wealth and in minerals. The basin has considerable geological interest. In its more easterly stretches porphyry, granite and schist are in evidence, but in the other parts wide zones of limestone overlie the primaries and the outcrops of g...ranite and porphyry are only occasional. The curious con- tortions and folding of the secondary limestones produce, throughout most of the basin, a characteristic scenery. A series of plateaux descends from west to east. In the north the Nan Shan con- stitutes a barrier between this basin and that of the Yangtze, and from these mountains and others flow many rivers, by which the basin is abundantly watered. The S'l Kiang itself drains four of the provinces, Yunnan, Kweichow, Kwangsi and Kwangtung, whilst a fifth, Fokien, is reached by a tributary.
