This is not at all what I thought it would be. I have read so many excerpts of Fa Hien's observations of his travels around India starting in 399 CE. I was really wanting to read a complete diary or narrative of his travels. Unfortunately, this was anything but that. It was the translator's blow-by-blow description of when he traveled where and when. That's it. Essentially it was a timeline. Very disappointing.
