Please do correct me if I'm wrong; so from what I can deduce from the story, there's the outer wall (the one that Azula attacks with the drill) and an inner wall (which houses the Ba Sing Se city proper). And inside the inner wall, there's a lower ring (for refugees, craftsmen, etc), a middle ring (financial district and university) and an upper ring (fancy schmancy shizz). Did I get that right?

The monorail finally reached the inner wall of Ba Sing Se and Kai couldn't help but marvel at the view from up above. It was so different from his quaint little town west of the Earth Kingdom. There were so many houses and establishments, almost as far as the eyes can see, all tightly packed with a few sparse trees in between.

"Lily, Lily, you gotta see this!" He whispered to his sleeping friend who only grumbled in response.

"The journey must have really tired her out..." Tan remarked as he, too, looked over the sprawling city. "But don't worry, you young ones have plenty of time to explore Ba Sing Se."

Kai nodded. "Maybe after we find what we are looking for in the university."

The monorail slowed to a stop at the station. "Lily? We're at the station. Let's go."

She opened her amber eyes tiredly and blinked up at him. "What?" She looked out the window and saw that indeed they were inside a huge station much like the one from the outer wall. "Oh..." She folding the blanket wrapped around her in her lap and handed it back to Tan, bowing her head. "Thank you for the blanket."

"You're welcome. I do hope we see you two again around. Don't be a stranger okay?"

"Of course." She smiled back and gave little Hope one last look and tickle. "I'll see you again, Hope."

Kai helped her down the monorail and they resumed their travel on foot to the middle ring of Ba Sing Se where the university is located.

"Zuko..." A recently woken Iroh shook his nephew awake. "We're here."

He opened his eyes and looked around. Everyone else had left the train and the conductor was inspecting the cars for any misplaced belongings or stowaways. They got off the monorail and explored the lower ring.
