SHASI
Shashi is one of the ports opened to foreign trade under the Japanese treaty of 1895, the official declaration of the opening being dated the 1st October, 1896. The port is situated about 85 miles below Ichang and is situated at the crossing point of two most important routes of commerce in central China, namely, from east to west and from north to south and vice versa. The population is estimated at 80,000, and the town itself is much like other native towns of its size. It lies below the level of the river, from which it is protected by a huge embankment which runs for miles above and below the town. Besides being an important distributing centre Shashi is the seat of a rather extensive manufacture of native contto cloth.
