ABSTRACT

Departing from that city and travelling for six days, I arrived at another great 2 city called Chilenfu 3 , the walls 205 206whereof have a circuit of forty miles 1 . And in it there be some three hundred and sixty stone bridges, finer than the whole world can show 2 . In this city was the first residence of the king of Manzi 3 , where he used to dwell. It is very well peopled, and there is such an amount of craft thereat as is right marvellous to behold. The city is planted passing well, and hath great store of all good things.
