THE LAST TREK 219
and around were deep valleys, and away to the
north on the left bank of the Yangtze was the
great Shao-chi Shan, rising some 7000 or 8000 feet,
with sloping sides and the summit wooded, and
patches of cultivation high up. Farther north
the mountains look wilder, and there is one steep
conical peak, and behind it, perhaps 40 or 50
miles away, is a high range. The scenery of the
Yangtze here rivals that of Ta-ching-pa, west
of Chao-tung, and quite dwarfs the well-known
I-chang gorges.
A not very steep descent from the pass leads
to Tzu-Liu, a village of sixteen families, in the
Yangtze valley, where Pereira halted, and on
August 7 he continued the steep descent and at
2i miles reached what he believed to be the only
bridge over the Yangtze. It was of the usual
pattern, Chinese suspension bridge on sixteen iron
chains, supporting a plank roadway 9 feet wide.
There was an iron chain on either side as hand-
rail. And the bridge is supported by stone piers
on either bank. The bridge sags a good deal in
the centre, and mules went over by driblets. It
was 135 paces long. The height above sea-level
at this point was 4321 feet.
The Yangtze, here called Tzu-li-chiang, dashed
past in a wild tumult of muddy rapids. Pereira
had never seen such a mighty torrent. Not even
the Ngom Chu and other rivers in Tibet when in
abnormal flood the year before could equal it.
On the far side there was a steady climb,
partly by zigzags and a cobbled path through
pine woods, with everywhere fresh views of glorious
mountains and deep valleys. At 7888 feet was
