At this early period the city was\ncalled Chi and the Empire was under the Chang,\nhistorically recorded as the second dynasty which, with\nits twenty-eight successive rulers, controlled her destinies\nfor six centuries. Seven centuries later during the\nCheou dynasty, the city became the Capital of Yen, one\nof the many fractious, petty states of that unsettled\nperiod. Later during the Tsin dynasty, the place was\nrazed to the ground and utterly destroyed in the reign\nof Chih Shih-Huang, about 21 1 B.C. Such, however,\nwas the influence and tenacity of old Tartar adherents\nthat it was soon rebuilt, and gradually recovered its\nformer position, retained up to the fourth century A.D.,\nwhen it became the capital of a Tartar State. From\nthis period the place was known by the name of Chi-\nYuen or Yu-Chow. The chief city of a department,\ngrowing in magnitude and importance, until five centuries\nlater it was besieged and captured by the Kitan Tartars?,\nand during occupation chosen as their capital, but, at the\nsame time remaining an acknowledged dependency of\nthe Chinese Empire. Two hundred years later the place\nwas again in trouble, taken this time by the Chin Tartars\nandselected as their chief city, the name being changed to\n Chung-Tu or Yen-Ching. This dynasty was overthrown\nby the Mongols under Genhis Khan in 1215 A.D., and\nthe city reduced to the grade of only a provincial town,\nbut finally restored to its old time prestige of a capital\nin 1260 by Kublai Khan, the grandson of Genhis Khan,\nwhen he initiated the Yuan Dynasty. He gave it the\nname of Chun-Tu or Central Residence, from which has\nbeen derived the name of Shuntienfu, by which title it is\ngenerally called. This ruler also in 1267 built a wall\nround the city, 20 miles in circumference, and transferred\nthe \"City of Great Residence\" one mile (3 li) to the\nnorth of its then site. The old position became what is\nknown as the Southern or Chinese City and the other\nportion Northern or Tartar city, more commonly spoken\nof as nei-cheng (within the wall and wai-cheng without\nthe wall). History tells us Marco Polo visited the Court\nof the Great Khan about this time. The Ming Dynasty\ncame into power A.D. 1 368 and removed the seat of\nadministration to Nanking, since spoken of as the\n\"Southern Capital,'* but Yung Loh, the third Ming\nEmperor, again transferred the Capital to Peking in\n1421. During his regime was built the mighty wall\nwhich to-day surrounds the Tartar City. The Manchu\ninvasion took place in 1 644 and the city within the big\nwall was taken by the visitors as a residence\u2014Manchus,\nMongols and some Chinese. These were arranged\nhi eight divisions, distinguished from each other by\nbanners, spoken of to-day as Bannermen. These have\nnearly all been absorbed through intermarriage.\nThe so-called \"Boxer\" rising in 1900 created a\nmemorable year in the history of Peking. On January\n1, 1912 when the late Dr. Sun Yat Sen took up office as\nProvisional President of the Republic of China the seat\nof administration was temporarily in Nanking but Dr.\nSun soon resigned in favour of Yuan Shih Khai and once\nagain Peking became the capital and seat of administration.\nPeking, in lat. 30 deg., 54 min. N., and long.\n1 16 deg., 27 min. E., is situated on a sandy plain south-\n west of the Peiho River with which it is connected by\ncanals. Though ill-adapted by situation to be the\nCapital of a vast Empire it has all the attributes of a\nregal city. It is enclosed by massive walls which impart a grandeur and a majesty not? found anywhere else\nin this great land. Its spaciousness also is unique, and,\nviewed from an eminence, Peking suggests a garden c ty\nrather than the characteristic overcrowded and congested Chinese city.\nThe present city is divided into two portions, the\nNorthern or Tartar city, and the Southern or Chinese\ncity. The former consists of three enclosures, one within the other, each surrounded by its own wall, the innermost being of course the Forbidden City enclosed by\nits wall and surrounded by a moat.\nFor long there was an air of decay about Peking,\nbut the revivifying influences which have been at work\nsince the revolution have tended to change this, and the\ncity is gradually being improved but not quite transformed. The Government has selected Peking in order\nto make it a model for the country, and all kinds of\nmunicipal enterprises are being introduced here with\nsatisfactory results. Good roads, sanitation, public\nhealth, hospitals, markets, lighting, etc., are all being\nattended to, and although these improvements are\nhindered by lack of funds, the Government has the\nmatter well in hand, and the work is proceeding steadily.\nThe climate of Peking is healthy, the summer, although\nhot, is short and not at all trying, and the winter is\nbracing.\nThe population of the city is roughly over one\nmillion. There are no statistics available, but the\nregistration of houses showed a total of 150,000 which\nif multiplied by five (the number selected by Western\ncountries as a fair average for residents per house) would\ngive a population of 750,000 but this ratio is too small\nfor China, and if it be raised to six per house, a total\nof 980,000   will result.    Even six must be regarded as\n very modest and consequently it is fair  to  reckon  the\npopulation as being over one million.\nSince the revolution many changes have taken\nplace. Several additional gates have been opened and\nforbidden thoroughfares made accessible. Perhaps the\nmost striking concession is the privilege of entrance into\ncertain parts of the Forbidden City. Within this area\nthe Central Park has been delegated to public use, and\na Curio Museum in which are housed the Imperial treasures has been inaugurated, while a national library is\nbeing constructed within these exclusive walls. Another\ngreat improvement is the construction of the Railway\nround the city, which links up the various ra'lway\ntermini, and modern needs are catered for by the Tramway scheme and a service of motor cars.\nTHE  FOUR CITIES OF   PEKING\nThe Tartar City (Nei Cheng) may be considered\nas the former royal city, and therefore of much greater\nimportance than the adjoining Chinese City common to\nevery province of the Empire. The Great Tartar City\nWall, built in 1 41 9 by Emperor Yung-Loh, third of the\nMing Dynasty, entirely surrounds the City with a height\nof 40 feet; width at base 62 feet and 1 3 miles in length.\nThe north and south walls are about 2% miles long, the\neast and west somewhat less, enclosing an area of about\n1 2 square miles.\nThe Imperial City (Hwang Cheng) in the centre\nof the Tartar City, occupies a space area of nearly two\nsquare miles, surrounded by a wall 20 feet high. There\nare four very spacious entrances, each with three gateways; the middle one, the royal entrance, was opened\nformerly only for the Emperor. This city is in a much\nbetter state of preservation than any other part of\nPeking. It is the select quarter where many of the high\nofficials live.\nThe Forbidden City (Tse Chin Cheng) with its\nmassive pink-washed walls, 30 feet high by 30 feet thick\nat their base,  is again in the centre of  Imperial City.\n Laid out on a grand symmetrical scale and surrounded\nby a moat 120 feet wide, the actual space covered is\nabout half a square mile. Within are many royal palaces,\napartments for visitors, Government Offices, and the\nnecessary appointments for an enormous retinue of\ndomestics of various grades, the grounds being\nfantastically laid out in marble terraces protected by\nbalustrades,   with   ornamental   waters   and   gardens   in\n' miniature landscape style. There are four gateways, the\none in south, the Wu-Men, formerly the principal\nentrance \u2022 leading to the Tai-Ho-Men, which opens into\nthe grand marble paved quadrangle containing the\nGrand Palace (Tai-Ho-Tien)  or Hall of Highest Peace\n\u2022here also is the Grand Reception Hall and Throne where\nnearly two centuries ago the Emperor Chien-Lung received foreign potentates. This is the palace where\nroyal functions were celebrated annually when the\nprinces and nobles of the Empire made their obeisance\nto the Emperor, offering seasonable congratulations and\ngood wishes for the incoming New Year.\nThe Chinese City (Nan Cheng), little worthy of\nspecial mention, is situated to the south of the Tartar\nCity; the southern wall of that city forming its northern\n.boundary. The east, west and south were built bv the\nEmperor Chiaching XII, of the Ming dynasty, and the\noriginal intention was to continue these walls round the\nTartar city with a total length of 40 miles; but this\nscheme fell through on account of the ruinous cost. The\nChinese City is about two-thirds of a mile broader than\nthe Tartar City, and there is a gateway in each of its\nmodern corners.\nThe Great Chien Men Street, the princiioal\nthoroughfare, leading direct to the Yung-Ting-Men\n(SoqtK Gate) is very wide; running in a southerly direction from the Imperial Gateway in the Tartar City Wall.\nTowards the end of this street will be seen the park-like\nenclosures of the Temple of Heaven on the left and the\nHall of Agriculture on the right.\n $1 eking Jlragtammt\nThe \"Empress of Scotland*4 is due to arrive at\nChinwangtao early morning Sunday, February 20 and\na steamer will come alongside to transfer passengers and\nbaggage to the wharf where a special train will be on\nhand for the ride to Peking. Baggage should be\nready previous to breakfast for transfer to tender. As\nthe weather in Peking is likely to be cold and dusty\npassengers should dress warmly, and as many of the\nbuildings visited have concrete floors overshoes will feel\ncomfortable. A strong pair of boots for the excursion\nto the Great Wall is also recommended.\nFor convenience in sightseeing in Peking, the members of the cruise have been divided into three parties.\nParty cards have been printed in the following\ncolours:\nparty A\u2014White\nParty B \u2014Red.\nParty C \u2014Blue.\nParty   \"A\"\nSUNDAY, FEBRUARY 20th:\u2014\n7.30 a.m. Transfer steamer leaves \"Empress of Scotland\" for wharf at Chinwangtao.\n8.40 a.m.    Special train leaves Wharf for Peking.\n1 1.30 a.m. to 1.30 p.m.    Lunch on train.\n5.05 p.m. Special train arrives Peking (Chenyangmen\nStation) where motor cars will be waiting\nto transfer pasengers to Grand Hotel de\nPekin.\n7.00 p.m.    Dinner at Hotel.\n MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21st:\u2014\nBreakfast at Hotel.\n9.00 a-.m.
