寺東門街巷

On the main street outside the temple's east gate were shops associated with headwear, belts, books and head ornaments, together with Ding Family's plain-tea shop. South of the temple was Lushi Lane with courtesan houses. Embroidery Lane was occupied by religious women engaged in embroidery work. To the north was Little Sweetwater Lane, where southern-style food shops were especially numerous; courtesan houses were also common. Farther north stood Li Qing's preserved-ginger shop.

Continuing north leads toward the east gate of Jingling Palace, then the sequence bends east through Shuiwu Street, Gaotou Street and the lane behind the ginger trade. Around Jiangtang Lane the text names a medicine shop and boot shops. At the mouth of Jiebe Lane stood the Song Family crude-drug shop; Meng says that both walls inside were painted with landscapes by Li Cheng.

East along the main street from Jingling Palace's east gate, the text passes the former Qianming Temple site and its later institutional reuse; the third Sweetwater Lane; Xixi Tower guesthouse, counted among the capital's notable establishments; Gaoyang principal wine house; the carriage office; the second Sweetwater Lane; the audit office; and onward to the front of the imperial ancestral temple. South lay the first Sweetwater Lane; north of the ancestral temple, Yulin Lane connected toward Caomen Street. Meng ends by saying the places could not all be enumerated.
