Drumlin Country Surrounding: Northern Ireland.

In the north a broad plateau, terraced around its sides, leads to the splendid north coast where, near Ballycastle, the Giant's Causeway (q.v.) can be seen.

In most of the towns and on many of the country roads of China are found monumental archways called p'ai-lou. Although the p'ai-lou is considered a purely Chinese architectural concept, one cannot fail to notice an analogy between this form and the gateways of the railings surrounding certain Indian stupas, such as those of Sanchi. In south China stone p'ai-lou are common; in northern cities the street scene is often enlivened by gaily painted timber ones. |
