The gateway is a high and arched tunnel, from sixty to a hun- dred feet long, in which swirig'inassive folding doors, which, amid much sounding of gdrigs, are closed at dark, and opened at daybreak. Leaving this portal we eriter a large semi-circular space, surrounded by the cui-tain-wall which defends this entrance ...toward the Tartar-city. Of the three gates leading out of this space, two are open to the public,'while the middle one is unlocked only for the Emperor. The Meridian Avenue in the Chinese city is paved with granite blocks, which have becoine smooth and rounded' and filled with ruts through the long wear of cart wheels. On either side are the shops and booths which form the chief market-place of Peking. jDuring the winter months- this city has no rival in the world in the abundance arid variety of the game and domestic meat with which its market is stocked.
