    • 1898, Isabella Bishop, “The Korean Frontier”, in Korea & Her Neighbours: A Narrative of Travel, with an Account of the Recent Vicissitudes and present position of the Country‎, volume II, London: John Murray, →OCLC, page 19:
      A few days later I went to Hun-chun on the frontier of Chinese Manchuria, from its position an important military post, and was most hospitably received by the Commandant and his married aide-de-camp. There, as everywhere in Primorsk, and from the civil as well as the military authorities, I not only received the utmost kindness, courtesy, and hospitality, but information was frankly given on the various topics I was interested in, and help towards the attainment of my objects. Hun-chun is in the midst of mountainous country, denuded of wood in recent years, and abounding in rich, well-watered valleys inhabited only by Koreans. A wilder, drearier, and more wind-swept situation it would be hard to find.
