Its situation was charming, shut in between the dark mountains with other mountains in the background. The town wall was thickly surrounded by buildings, so that only a glimpse of it could be seen. We went along a street that rounded the wall from the E and continued for several miles northward between rows of shops, that thinned out at times, only to combine again a little further on into a dirty, but noisy Chinese bazaar street. It is merely necessary to take a ride through this long and narrow town to realise that the place carries on very lively trade. The rows of shops are interminable.
