KIUKIANG
Kiukiang is situated on the river Yangtsze, near the outlet of the Poyang Lake, and is a prefectural city of the province of Kiang-si. It is distant about 187 geographical miles from Hankow and 445 miles from Shanghai. Kiukiang was before the Rebellion a busy and populous city; but it was occupied by the Taiping rebels in 1853, and before it was given up to the Imperial troops it was almost entirely destroyed. When the foreign settlement was established there, however, the population soon returned, and it has continued to increase rapidly: it is now estimated at 53,000.
The city is built close to the river, the walls running along the banks of it for some 600 yards. Their circumference is about five miles, but a portion of the space enclosed is still not occupied. The city contains no feature of interest. There are several large lakes to the north and west of it, and it is backed by a noble range of hills a few miles distant. The foreign settlement lies to the west of the city and is neatly laid out. It possesses a small bund lined with trees, a tiny club, and small Protestant and Roman Catholic Churches.
The idea which led to the opening of Krukiang was, no doubt, its situation as regards communication by water with the districts where the Green Tea is produced. But the hopes entertained respecting Kiukiang have never been wholly realised. The total quantity of Tea exported in 1889 was 280,705 piculs, of which 38,882 piculs were Green, the export for 1888 being 278,042 piculs. Opíum was imported to the extent of 3,173 piculs in 1889, and 3,077 piculs in 1888. Kiukiang is the port from whence the ware made at the far-famed porcelain factories at Kin-tê-chên is shipped. In 1889, 24,151 piculs of this ware was exported. The total value of the trade of the port for 1889 was Tls. 11,428,218, and for 1888, Tls. 11,050,238.
