"Peking had formidable defense works. The city was surrounded by walls 21 miles in length and broken by 16 gates (men). The wall around theInner (Tartar) citywas 40 feet tall and 40 feet wide at the top. The wall around the adjoining Outer (Chinese) city was 30 feet high. The population living within the walls was about one million people, although many had fled to escape the Boxers and the fighting between the Chinese army and the foreigners in the Legation Quarter.[5]"
