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.
