text: Subject to flooding by the six small rivers coming together just west of the city, the main river below the city has long been shallow and subject to silting. The Communists have both maintained the earlier pattern of dredging the river, and have built a bypass flood canal around the city on the south side to relieve flood pressures. Though dredging can keep the river navigable for small ships, a new artificial port, Sinkang, able to take 10,000 ton ships at all times, was created at T'ang-ku. This is kept open for about two months during winter by icebreakers.

When I think of Wanhsien I see myself being carried in a sedan-chair up interminable flights of slimy stone steps, through a fog-bound city, past miserable riverside hovels, clinging to sand and rock and banks of crumbling earth, along narrow streets, where all was damp, and dank, and dark, and dreary. A creek from the great river slices the town in half, and over it a beautiful bridge, one lofty stone arch crowned by a long, low building and climbed by two flights of stone steps, forms one of the most picturesque features of Wanhsien.
