for a motor road, from 80 ft. to 100 ft. wide, and six miles long, along which tramway lines have been laid. This work was carried out by the Municipal Council, which was established in November, 1918. Since January, 1921, a continuous service of omnibuses with trailers has been running between the Canton-Kowloon Railway Station and the T'ai P'ing gate west, between Tungshan and Wing Hon Road in front of the Provincial Treasury, and many other places. These buses are operated largely by the Municipal Government, but there are also some private companies. Numerous buildings of an improved type have been erected, notably the new premises of the Sun Co., a building of nine stories, on the West Bund. Canton has now four parks, the Central Park in the heart of the city, the Hai Chu Park (Dutch Folly) close to the Bund, the Yueh Sau Park on Kan Yin Hill, and the Tungshan Park in the eastern suburb of Canton. The suburbs spread along the river for nearly five miles. The entire circuit, including the suburbs, is nearly 10 miles. What is now called the New City was formerly known as the Southern Suburb. The Western Suburb stretchies for miles along the river. There were 16 gates giving admission into the city, besides two water gates. Canton contains great attractions for foreign visitors in its numerous temples, pagodas,.
