THE CITY OF OLD AND NEW

Canton, China's greatest South- ern port, a modern self-administered city, combining the modern with the ancient, is linked with Hong Kong by 111 miles of Railway, 22 miles of which are in British territory and 8 in Chinese territory,

To those travellers with limited time as their disposal, the Canton- Kowloon Railway, the quickest route between Hong Kong and Capton, affords an excellent oppor- tunity of making a one day trip to Canton.

The country is well regulated and, there is not the slightest danger of molestation. The Chinese inhabitants may be seen at their best in their native surroundings tending their miniatura farms and practising their native crafts under the jurisdiction and protection of the Government of Hong Kong.
