AKSU (White Water) , a town of the Chinese
empire
 , Eastern
Turkestan
 , in 41 7' N. and 79 7' E. of Uch-Turfan and 270 M. N.E. of Yarkand, near the left bank of the Aksu river, which takes its origin in the T'ien-shan (Tian-shan) mountains and joins the Tarim. It belongs to the
series
  of oases (Uch-Turfan, Bai, Koucha, &c.) situated at the southern foot of the eastern T'ien-shan mountains. The town, which is supposed to have about 6000 houses, is enclosed by a
wall
 . It is an important centre for caravan routes and has a considerable
trade
 . There are some
cotton
  manufactures; and the place is celebrated for its richly ornamented saddlery made from deerskin. A Chinese garrison is stationed here, and copper and
iron
  are wrought in the neighbourhood by exiled Chinese criminals. Extensive cattle-breeding is carried on by the inhabitants.
