YOCHOW

Yochow, with a population of some 500,000 is situated in latitude 29° 26' 29" N. and longitude 113° 11' 6" E. at the outlet of the Tungting Lake. Past it ebbs and flows practically the whole of the trade of Hunan, which, however, adds little to the pros- perity of the place, as it simply passes by after having paid its dues and duties. The city being the gateway of the province holds a very strategic position from a military point of view and consequently has always been a bone of contention among the warring factions, whenever there is internicine strife in this centre. The opening of Changsha in July, 1904, took away much of Yochow's transit trade. The recently- completed Canton-Hankow Railway passes through Yochow.

The province of Hunan used to be to foreign commerce what Tibet has been to the explorer-a Forbidden Land-and it is only two decades ago that foreigners were stoned out of Yochow. In 1904, the people were described as showing a "friendly attitude" to all foreigners, which attitude is now well maintained in spite of the recent activities of the extremists in this province.
