use for purposes of defence. There are no features of interest in the town unless the fan-tan shops are so considered. The streets are narrow and dirty, and there are no public buildings save the tower-like pawnshop and the dilapidated yamên inside the walls. A little distance from the city may be seen, however, one of those interesting little fortified villages, with embattled walls and a moat, which are not uncommon in the province of Kwangtung, and which serve to indicate the state of insecurity in which the rural population live. Beyond this is the road which leads over the mountains at the back, and which is worth climbing for the view from the pass at the top. The population of Kowloon City is probably not more than 5,000. A steam ferry plies between Hongkong and Kowloon City at uncertain hours every day.
