YOCHOW

Yochow, with a population of 15,000 to 20,000, is situated in latitude 29°23′ N., and longitude 113° 8' E. (Greenwich), at the outlet of the Tungting Lake. Past it ebbs and flows practically the whole of the trade of Hunan, which, however, adds nothing to the prosperity of the place, as it simply passes by after having paid its inward and outward taxes. The city is the gateway of the province and nothing more. Efforts are being made, by Japanese, to find adequate communication with Changteh, the trade centre, whose opening to foreign trade was talked of in 1906. The opening of Changsha took away much of Yochow's transit trade.
