This line starts from Tsingpien at the Great Wall, on the northern
border of Shensi, proceeds through the Ordos country by Bonobalgasun,
Orto, and Shinchao, and then crosses the Hoangho to Santaoho. From
Santaoho, it proceeds across Charanarinula Mountain into Mongolian
prairie in a northwesterly direction to Kurbansihata where it crosses
the Peking-Hami line, then it goes to Unikuto and Enkin, where it
crosses the Great Northern Port-Urumochi line. After Enkin, the
line enters into a valley and watered district, proceeds northward
to Karakorum, and then turns northwestward across various streams
and valleys of the tributary of the Selenga River by Sabokatai and
Tsulimiau. After Tsulimiau, it proceeds in the same direction across
the Selenga River, follows its branch, the Telgir Morin River, up
to its source and crosses the watershed into Lake Teri Nor. Then it
follows the outlet of the Teri Nor to the Khua Kem River, where it ends
by joining the Kalgan Urga-Tannu Ola line. This line covers a distance
of about 1,200 miles.
e. The Suchow-Kobdo Line
This line starts from Suchow in a northwesterly direction penetrating
the Great Wall at Chiennew, and proceeds to the coal field, about 150
miles from Suchow. Then it goes to Habirhaubuluk and Ilatoli. A short
way from this place the line comes across the Peking-Hami line and
then proceeds to Balaktai. After this the line passes a bit of pure
desert to Timenchi. After entering the hilly and watered country it
proceeds to Gaskhiu where it crosses the Great Northern Port-Urumochi
trunk line. After Gaskhiun, it proceeds to Wolanhutok, Tabateng, and
Tabutu where it joins the Kucheng and Kobdo highway and following it,
proceeds to Kobdo, through Batokuntai and Sutai. Here the line ends,
covering a distance of about 700 miles.
