Meanings
-
A place where gold is mined.
Then, down this stream, some thirty miles southwest of the Huma District, is another gold field which caused a tremendous stir at one time. No less than 15,000 miners were reported to have rushed into this field of Yuchingkou, but of late, like so many other gold fields in North Manchuria, it has lost much of its drawing power.
