December 18th. Sha-ho- Kou
village.
At least i horse can be calculated per tja. The annual tax levied is 1,135 tan. The garrison of the town consists of 15 men under the command of i pazung of the Cheng-i
garrison.
The country E of the town is densely covered with trees, several high-lying ariqs, low mud walls etc. Many groups of houses are enclosed by walls so high that they are real impanjes. There was such a group on the right about 2 miles from the town and we saw some smaller ones further on. There are one or more impanjes, usually large and dilapidated, in all the larger villages. The ground is tilled everywhere, as it is on the W of the town. There are small, well cared for fields, often lying higher than the road. The district seemed to be very fertile. About 2 I /2 miles from the town we passed the village of Tungbalipu and about 2 miles beyond Foa yang with 3 impanjes. 2/3 of a mile further on a small river flowed on the right of the road and formed an extensive marshy space. The road led across the latter for 20 minutes.
An inn, Luotung, stood E of the road. On the right of the road barren ground extended for some distance, going over to the left side of the road for a short distance. Beyond it, far to the S, we could see houses and trees. In the N there were many houses in the direction of the river. The mountains in the S, which were now very large, seemed to fall away considerably to the E. N of the river the mountains seemed to become quite level to the E. Behind them a rather higher, long mountain was visible. In the ESE straight in front of us a high mountain indicated a bend in the river. Not quite 4 miles from Foa yang lies the village of Vangchienpu on the N boundary of the barren ground. 2 1/2 miles further on, the road runs along a low, badly built embankment across a stretch of marshy ground, about 1/3 of a mile wide. About 1/3 of a mile beyond we came to marshy ground on the right, extending as far as the town of Fu-yeh. The latter is 14 miles from Kao-tai. This little town with a population of about 15o families (tja) and 58 shops is the residence of a tin, subordinated to the Djifu at Kanchow. The garrison consists of an in (2o men) under the command of a shubei and i tindjy. Another in of about the same strength is quartered S of the town at Li Yuan under the command of a tusy.
The Fu-yeh shen district (of the Kanchow djifu's district): the local administration is carried on by 9 Shang-ja, whose districts are of the following size:
