Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KRO-LAP
KUKU KHOTO (Chinese Kwei-hwa) , a city of the Chinese province of Shan-si, situated to the north of the
Great
 
Wall
 , in 40 50' N. and 111 45' E., about 16o m. W. of Kalgan. It lies in the valley of a small river which joins the Hwang-ho 5o m. to the
south
 . There are two distinct walled towns in Kuku Khoto, at an interval of a mile and a half; the one is the seat of the civil
governor
  and is surrounded by the trading town, and the other
' The judgment of the historian William Garrott Brown, himself a Southerner, is worth quoting: " That violence was often used cannot be denied. Negroes were often whipped, and so were
carpet
 -baggers. The incidents related in such stories as Tourgee's A Fool's Errand all have their counterparts in the testimony before congressional committees and courts of law. In some cases, after repeated warnings, men were dragged from their beds and slain by persons in disguise, and the courts were unable to find or to convict the murderers. Survivors of the orders affirm that such
work
  was done in most cases by persons not connected with them or acting under their authority. It is impossible to prove or disprove their statements. When such outrages were committed, not on worthless adventurers, who had no station in the Northern communities from which they came, but on cultivated persons who had gone

governor
 , and stands in the open country. In the first or old town more. especially there are strong traces of western Asiatic influence; the houses are not in the Chinese style, being built all round with brick or stone and having flat roofs, while a large number of the people are still Mahommedans and, there is little doubt, descended from western settlers. The town at the same time is a
great
  seat of Buddhismthe lamaseries containing, it is said, no less than 20,000 persons devoted to a religious life. As the southern terminus of the routes across the desert of Gobi from Ulyasutai and the Tian Shan, Kuku Khoto is a great mart for the exchange of flour, millet and manufactured goods for the raw products of Mongolia. A Catholic and a
Protestant
  mission are main: tained in the town. Lieut. Watts-Jones, R.E., was murdered at Kwei-hwa during the Boxer outbreak in 1900.
Early notices of Kuku Khoto will be found in Gerbillon (1688-1698, in Du Halde (vol. ii., Eng. ed.), and in Astley's Collection (vol. iv.)
