Old Yenking had, when occupied by the Kin, a circuit of 27 _li_ (commonly
estimated at 9 miles, but in early works the _li_ is not more than 1/5 of
a mile), afterwards increased to 30 _li_. But there was some kind of outer
wall about the city and its suburbs, the circuit of which is called 75
_li_. [’At the time of the Yuen the walls still existed, and the ancient
city of the Kin was commonly called Nan-ch”eng (Southern city), whilst the
Mongol capital was termed the northern city.’ _Bretschneider, Peking_,
10.–H. C.] (_Lockhart_; and see _Amyot_, II. 553, and note 6 to last
chapter.)
