CHUNGKING

The city of Chungking, situated in lat. 29 deg. 33 min. 30 sec. N. long., 107 deg. 2 min. E., may well be described, as not only the commercial capital of Szechuen, but of the whole of Western China. 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, leather, feathers, bristles, rhubarb, musk, opium, and the large assortment of Chinese medicines are received, assorted, repacked, and shipped to Ichang, Hankow, and Shashi, consignments to the latter port being transhipped there into smaller junks, and forwarded to the southern provinces, vid the Tung Ting lake.
