A refuge from the heat of summer at Foochow can be gained by a four hours- chair ride to the top of Kuliang, "Drum Pass," which is a mountain resort situated about nine miles east of Foochow, The thermometer indicates an average of 10 degrees cooler on the mountain than it is in Foochow; the nights are always cool and blankets a necessity for comfort. Dr. Rennie was the first to build a house of foreign design at Kuliang in 1886. Now there are upwards of one-hundred such houses, and every summer between four and five-hundred persons, chiefly missionaries, are in residence on the mountain. According to the Admiralty Chart, Kuliang reaches a height of 2,900 feet. Nearly five miles of stone paved roads about three feet in width have been made under the supervision of a Public Improvement Committee, appointed by the residents, the necessary funds being provided by voluntary contribution. greatest charm of Kuliang is the mountain walks, and there are many interesting places within easy walking distance, A Chinese Post Office and a Telegraph Office are opened at Kuliang every year from the middle of June to the middle of September, and daily mail connection with Foochow is maintained.
