CHAP. VIII.] YARKAND. 199
has had, and, contrary to the usual custom of
the Chinese officials, he had taken considerable
pains to construct canals for the extension of
cultivation, and to build new bazaars in the
city.
Yarkand is the largest town I had seen in
Turkestan. There are, as everywhere in this
country, two towns, the native and the Chinese,
but at Yarkand these are connected by a bazaar
a few hundred yards in length. The latter is
almost entirely new, but the native town is old
and dilapidated. The houses are built of mud,
as a rule, and there are no very striking
buildings to , arrest one's interest. All the
streets have that dusty, dirty, uncared-for
appearance so characteristic of Central Asian
towns, and outside the bazaars there is little
life. Yarkand, however, is the centre of a
considerable trade, and in the autumn large
caravans start for and arrive from India at
frequent intervals, and the bazaars are then
crowded.
A number of the merchants engaged in this
trade gave me one day a sumptuous feast in a
fruit garden a short distance outside Yarkand.
Few people better know the way to enjoy life
