NOTE 3.–[’It seems to me [Dr. Bretschneider] that Polo took the towers,
mentioned by the Chinese author, in the angles of the galleries and of the
Kung-ch”eng for palaces; for further on he states, that “over each gate
[of Cambaluc] there is a great and handsome palace.” I have little doubt
that over the gates of Cambaluc, stood lofty buildings similar to those
over the gates of modern Peking. These tower-like buildings are called
_lou_ by the Chinese. It may be very likely, that at the time of Marco
Polo, the war harness of the Khan was stored in these towers of the palace
wall. The author of the _Ch”ue keng lu_, who wrote more than fifty years
later, assigns to it another place.’ (_Bretschneider, Peking_, 32.)
