TO LAN-CHOW   93

road very muddy. There was a gradual rise of

some 900 feet over the Ma-ch'ang-Kou Shan, 9910 feet, then a descent and afterwards a rise to 10,000 feet over the Nan-men Shan. Three or four big villages inhabited chiefly by Chinese were passed. The country all round was hilly, the ridge rising some 500 feet above the valleys.

T'ao-chow, 9520 feet, was a dead-alive town of

600 families.

March 8 was a bitterly cold and very gloomy

day, with a few inches of snow on the ground.

The road lay up and down over bleak bare hills.

One village was passed and there was then a steep

climb to the Shih-t'ou-kou Shan, 10,700 feet.

After this there was a descent to 9800 feet, and

then another climb to Pai-sung-kou Shan and

another descent to Pan-ch'ise. Then the road

passed down a narrow valley which joined the

broader Yang-sa-kou and crossed by a good

covered bridge to Yang-sa, a town of 55 families

situated at an elevation of 8500 feet. A good

many pheasants were seen on the march.

From here the road lay down the fairly fertile

Yang-sa valley for 6 miles, and then turned to the

left by a narrow valley to Kan-kou, a village of

80 families, at 10 miles. Then there was a rather

steep climb to the Lien-hua Shan, 10,150 feet,

at 14 miles and a gradual descent along the

hill-side and a final very steep, muddy, slippery

descent to Shan-shen-miao, 8170 feet, a village

of 17 families which was reached on March

9. Though the sun was out the weather was

bitterly cold, and there was 3 or 4 inches of

snow on the pass.
