A CITY GATE OF SHANHAIKWAN 



The streets of the town are narrow and without pavement. The tree rooted on top of the wall 

 indicates the condition of neglect and decay of most of these old defenses. 



A RESTING CARAVAN 



Camels of many of the caravans engaged in conveying teas and other commodities between China-, 

 and Mongolia are relieved of their burden for rest during the heat of the day, and at night the bales; 

 and boxes are again replaced, when the long tramp is resumed.
