INDO-CHINA AS A TOURIST

RESORT.

Mr. A. Garnier, Résident-Supérieur, Directeur de l'Agence Economique do l'Indochine, writes in the Asiatic Review: The intellectual currents between Europe and the Far East, as also their commercial ties, are becoming more and more marked. This is pheremenog from which both Europe and Asia should draw as much prot as possible. It is therefore eminently desirable that people should no longer be content with reading about distant countries in books, but go themselves to the places and study the races, the artistic treasures, the natural beauties and the customs, on the spot. Everything should point to general

a movement among travellers and tourists en a kind of voyage of discovery to the Orient. Indo-China is at the cross-roads of the great maritime routes and should therefore be the first te prest from such movement. Her advantageous situation should, accordingly, favour the rapid ex- tension of tourist traffic in a country which is so attractive to foreigners ou account of its historic sites and artistic heritage, handed down from generation to generation through the centuries,

JEWEL OF THE PAR. EAST.

The tourist who lands at Saigon visits a charming city which, without fear of contradiction, can be described as the jewel of the Far East. This reputation is justified by, the splendour of its public buildings, the beautiful symmetry of its main thoroughfares, and the distant views from its main ventres. This city lies on the river which bears the same name. Its chief attractions are the Botanical Gar- den, the wonderfully fashioned Pagodas, that of Canton, of the Chettys and of Dakaoy on the road to Cholon Colon, some four miles away, is an entirely Chi aese town and is attractive on seat of its ruins and pagodas which lend it a very picturesque appearance. The tourist can then proceed by excellens and beautiful

moquments. Amid such a wealth of at- truction the following sights call for parti- cular attention: the Royal City with its battlements, built after the manner of Vauban, and comprising the inner Royal City, the capital, which is at the same Line the sea of government; the Red City, which is forbidden ground,, being reserved for the Royal Family, where no tourist may enter; the Royal Sure, the object of which is to protect the city against evil spirits; and fantly the Im perial Burial Ground, the glory of which the beautiful mausoleums which are the is comparable with, if it does not exered, pride of China

At Vinb, after the visit to the citadel, an excursion should be inuide to Napé, which forms the means of communication with Laos. It is interesting to note the great change in scenery and local eus- toms as soon as the coast is left behind.

THREX TOWNS IN ONE

At last Hanoi, on the right bank of the Red River, is reached. Here are threa distinct town: the French town, built around the old "concession," with its imposing public buildings and wide avenues; the native town, with its dense quarters, innumerable winding streets; and.booths; finally, the citadel, contain ing the dwelling of the grundi Buddha and the temple.
