KIRIN

林吉 Chi-lin

(Kirin is the Manchu Name of the City)

Kirin, the capital of the province of the same name on the Sungari river, is 80 miles from Hsin King with which it is connected by railway. It is one of the most prosperous towns in Manchuria, and, having been rebuilt after a disastrous fire in 1911, possesses many fine buildings. It is the distributing centre for the inexhaustible supplies of timber from the neighbouring regions. The railway from Hsinking, through Kirin, due East, to the new Port of Rashin on the Sea of Japan, is now completed, and through trains run daily, connecting up with steamers for Japan.

Through trains also run south from Kirin, via Hailung and Mukden to Shanhai- kuan, en route to Tientsin and Peiping.

A new town is now springing up, outside the old city, with fine roads and modern buildings.

North Kirin is to become an industrial area. A new bridge is being built across the Sungari, in order to develop the area south of the river as a residential district. A few miles up the river a large hydro-electric plant is being installed.
