The wall of Chinta is about 5 fathoms high, including the parapet. Ramparts narrow. Wall projections quite insignificant. Only the gate facing N is protected by a wall projection, 20-25 yds deep. Outer archway is yds, inner one 17 yds deep. In the SE corner there is a small secret gate facing E. Fosse small — lacking in some places. Wall rather neglected. Only the archways of baked bricks. Above the gates and on the SE corner pagodas of wooden lattice-work. — The space inside the wall is densely populated and has winding, narrow streets. The Hsietai's yamen and possibly stores of arms in the centre of the N half of the town.
