text: But it had just rained in Barkol and the dirt road outside the city was muddy. When people heard that we wanted to go to Mori across the grassland, they kindheartedly tried to dissuade us, saying there was no village and would be very few travellers on the way. If the jeep sank into mire, how could we pull it out?

text: Although the area has been used by Kazaks off and on since the nineteenth century, the number of Kazaks in Barkol county was never very large. The pre-1949 population of Han Chinese at Barkol was already over 10,000, while Kazaks numbered less than 5,000. Nonetheless, after 1949, Barkol was designated a Kazak autonomous county, a status that continued despite an overwhelmingly Han Chinese population (see table 5.10).
