KEWKIANG
Kewkiang (also written 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. Kewkiang 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 500 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 club, and small Protestant and Roman Catholic Churches.
The idea which led to the opening of Kewkiang was, no doubt, its situation as regards communication by water with the districts where the Green Tea is produced. But the hopes entertained respecting Kewkiang have never been wholly realised. The total quantity of Tea exported in 1895 was 266,055 piculs, of which 53,423 piculs were Green
