84. THE BUDD WITH CHINESE CUSTOM
HOUSE AND TOWER, SHANGHAI, CHINA..
Shanghai is one of the principal seaports of
China. The Chinese city proper is enclosed
within walls 24 feet high, the streets being nar-
row and dirty and the buildings low and crowded.
In 1843 it was opened as one of the five treaty
ports and an important foreign settlement is
now established with a separate government.
The subjects and citizens of each nationality
are under the protection of their respective
consuls. The Chinese authorities retain com-
plete control over all customs.
