HOKOW
Hokow was opened to foreign trade by the Supplementary Convention between China and France of 20th June, 1895. A French vice-consulate was established in August, 1896, which is subordinate to the Mengtsz Consulate, and an office of the Customs under the control of the Mengtsz Customs was opened at Hokow on 1st July, 1897. Hokow is picturesquely situated on the left bank of the Red River, at its junction with the Nanhsi River, and is immediately opposite Laokay, an important garrison town in Tonkin. An iron railway bridge across the Nanhsi River, completed in 1902, connects Laokay and Hokow. The village has some 4,000 inhabitants who live in bamboo houses and huts with thatched roofs. Hokow is about 420 /i from Mengtsz by land. The value of the trade is not separately stated in the Mengtsz Customs reports.
Hokow is the terminal station of the Yunnan Railway, now under construction.
