TEA DISTRICTS OF CHINA. 



Chap. VI. 



Nothing worthy of note occurred until I reached 

 the town of Ning-po. It was as welcome a sight as I 

 had seen for many a day, when the old town, with its 

 pagoda, temples, and ramparts, came in view. It 

 was well known to me in former years, and I felt 

 myself " quite at home," after a long and some- 

 what perilous, although in many respects a pleasant 

 journey.
