In 2003,Paul Chiasson climbed a mountain he never explored on the island wherehe grew up. Cape Breton, one of the oldest points of explorationin the Americas, islittered with remnants of old settlements.The roadhe found that day was unique.Consistently wide and formerlybordered with stone walls, the road had been a major undertaking.

評分本文创新之处在于将中国移民的定居点从原来的西海岸转移到了东北海角,与加文孟席斯的郑和远航路线暗合~~
