200 PEKING TO LHASA
Chao-t'ung, which he reached on the 12th. The
plain was now one mass of poppy in full bloom
—mostly white, but also red and purple. The
Governor was, however, quite unaware that any
poppy is being grown !
Another excursion he had intended to make
from Chao-t'ung to Wei-ning he had to. abandon
after the first day on account of brigands. So on
April 16 he set out finally for Sui-fu on the Yang-
tze, taking with him an escort of four men with
single-loading Mauser rifles. The Chao-t'ung plain
was fertile at first but gradually became poorer,
and the villages consisted of wretched hovels.
This poor country extends eastward into north-
west Kwei-chow. At 9 miles the road led up
a narrow valley to Chuang-k'ou Ya-k'ou, 6926
feet, at 11 miles. It then led down the narrow
Wu-tsai Ho valley to Hsiao-si-tang, 6150 feet, at
18 miles, a village of twenty hovels. The day was
very cloudy and chilly with much wind and a
slight drizzle.
On April 17 the road lay down the same rather
poor valley with hills from 500 to 1000 feet on
either side ; but at 9 miles there was a very steep
rocky descent between clefts in rocks to a much
lower level. The scenery was now magnificent,
the hills rising to 1000 or 2000 feet in height and
the valley becoming fertile again, with crops of
wheat, barley and poppy. At 204 miles Ta-kuan
Hsien was reached. It is a dirty, crowded town
of 670 families, at an elevation of 4002 feet.
Pereira heard a cuckoo for the first time this day.
Ta-wan-tzu was reached on April 18 after a
march of 17 miles. It is only 2622 feet above
