Port of JENCHUAN, called also JINSEN and INCHIUN
This port, known to the Japanese as Jinsen, is situated in lat. 37 deg. 28 min. 30 sec. N. and long. 126 deg. 37 min. E, at the entrance to the Salée river, an embouchure of the Han-kang close to and immediately east of Roze island, on the west coast of Corea, in the metropolitan province of Kiung-kei. Though only nine years ago a mere fishing village, and now still in its infancy, many buildings of a substantial character have been erected and the port is rapidly rising into importance as a commercial centre.
The sub-prefectural town of Jenchuan is situated 10 li distant from the port, which latter is locally known as Chemulpo. Fut-bing on the Han-kang is the nearest prefectural city, and is distant some 35 i, near which place is situated, also on the Han-kang, the rising town of Mapu, which lies on the main road to Hanyang (Seoul) some 75 distant from the port (Chemulpo), or 30 li from Seoul. The whole of the land forming the Japanese Settlement at Chemulpo was sold publicly early in 1884; and the first land sales in the general Foreign Settlement took place on the 7th November of the same year. There is a Municipal Council at Chemulpo composed of the Foreign Consuls, one Corean official, and three representatives of the landholders. The Council employs two foreign and four Chinese police constables. The settlements have been neatly laid out, with broad well metalled roads, some of which are planted with trees, and the lots are all built upon. The approaches to the river (Salée) are now well surveyed, and the latest British Admiralty charts are quite reliable. The outer anchorage is accessible to ships of all sizes, and the inner one to coasting vessels and steamers ordinarily employed in the local trade. The river is navigable for vessels not drawing over 10 feet up to Mapu; but seeing that at certain seasons
