AMONG THE CELESTIALS.
CHAPTER VIII.
INTO THE HEART OF THE HIMALAYAS.
YARKAND was the last town of Chinese Turke-
stan I visited, and now that I had traversed
the entire length of the country, a brief general
description of it may be interesting. The chief
characteristic of its physical features is un-
doubtedly the amount of desert comprised in it.
The whole country is, in fact, nothing but a
desert, with patches of cultivation along the
streams which flow down from the mountains,
showing out sharp and distinct like green
splotches on a sepia picture. On three sides
this desert is shut in by ranges of snowy moun-
tains very like the letter U, and on the fourth
side it stretches away uninterruptedly for nearly
two thousand miles. The mountain slopes are
as bare as the plains, and were it not for the
oases, no more inhospitable country could be
imagined. But these oases are what save it.
