The foreign import trade centres here, and is then distributed by a smaller class of trading junks up the various rivers of the province. All exports-yellow silk, white wax, hides, wool, hemp, feathers, bristles, rhubarb, musk, and the large assortment of Chinese medicines-are received, assorted, repacked and shipped to Ichang, Hankow, and Shasi, consignments to the last-named port being transhipped there into smaller junks and forwarded to the southern provinces, viá thể Tung Ting lake.
The city occupies the end of a high and rocky bluff forming a peninsula, at the junction of the river Kia-ling with the Yangtsze, 1,400 miles from the mouth of the latter. The principal streets of the city, in which are many fine shops, are on the side of the Yangtsze. The city is surrounded by a crenelated stone wall in good repair, which is some five miles in circumference, pierced with nine gates. This wall was built in 1761, replacing an older one. Chungking is now electrically lighted, a native company
