Voyage is a record of Mr. Na Zijia's journey that started from Yunnan in November of the 20th year of the Republic of China, passing through Vietnam and Hong Kong to Egypt. Mr. Na is an emotional person. Whenever he saw something, he was deeply touched and recorded his feelings in his diary. Thus, the expressions of joys and sorrows are vividly presented in the text. Therefore, this piece can be regarded as either a travelogue or a diary. The original manuscript was intended by Mr. Na to be published in the Muslim Monthly in Guangzhou. However, after I came to Guangxi, due to the lack of a person in charge, the newspaper was temporarily suspended. Now, at the request of local religious believers in our province to compile the Guangxi Islam magazine, I am publishing the full manuscript of Voyage for the public. Most of the content in the text has not been seen by domestic religious believers. Reading it is like taking a virtual tour of scenic spots. Not only does this magazine gain some interesting content, but also readers can enjoy a wonderful reading experience.
