Ningpo to Shanghai in 1857/Ching-koo-yuen to Shanghai
S. S. E. from Tsing-poo stands a pagoda on a high mountain (Sing kong?) and a short distance from the somewhat extensive suburbs on the N. E. at Tching-mo-deo, is the Tai-ping Granary, a series of six rows of white washed barrack like buildings, five hundred feet long, capable of containing an immense quantity of grain (32).
From the Provincial Granary the canal takes a winding direction—Westerly, northerly, easterly and southerly—but on the average about N.E.—(33)
Only two villages remain to be noted, viz Poon-zan-keo and Pan-hok-quong—the country being ornamented with trees, not all planted, apparently, for cutting down purposes. Excepting a Ferry called Ching-ka-chong; about 15 miles from Shang hae, no other village finds a place in our register.
