The Inner City is indeed bustling. As Bai Qi passed through the thick walls built from long blue-black bricks, he felt a genuine sense that was entirely different from the outside.
First, the main street paved with smooth bluestone was wider, able to accommodate two or three carriages side by side.
The occasional calls from vendors selling food and hawking goods could be heard.
The cacophony intermingled, creating a very lively atmosphere.
Bookstores, fabric shops, restaurants, cosmetics stores... all sorts of shops were available.
People came and went, moving like weaving threads.
Those dressed in robust martial attire and the brightly dressed wealthy merchants were noticeably more numerous.
The overall upward-looking spirit was incomparable to the laborers and workers in the outer city slums.
It demonstrated the thriving mountain-water scenery of a major county.
