The anchorage is off the left bank, and is good, except in freshets, when the anchors should be sighted every two or three days. The port is the centre of a hilly country, the productions of which are rice in the valleys, cotton on the higher grounds, winter wheat, barley, and also the tungtzu trees, from which the ordinary wood oil is obtained by pressing the nuts gathered from the trees. In the sheltered valleys, amongst the mountain ranges west of the city, oranges, lemons, pomelocs, pears, plums, and a very superior quality of persimmons are grown, and find a ready market in the city and at. Shasi, The importance of Ichang is chiefly that of an emporium for goods in transit to and from Chungking. Most of the cargo
