W.H. Auden and Christopher Isherwood left Hong Kong in the Tai-Shan for Guangzhou. "The railway was being bombed, almost daily, by Japanese planes… The river-boats, which were British-owned, had never been bombed at all". In Guangzhou the British Consul General sent a car. They were to stay at Paak Hok Tung, a settlement of American and English missionaries. The next day they visited Mayor Zang Yanfu. The next day they were invited to lunch with Wu Dezhen. The next two days they were wandering about the city.
