PAKHOI
The town is situated on a small peninsula and faces nearly due north. It stands at the foot of a bluff nearly forty feet high, which deprives it of the south-west breeze in summer, while in winter it is exposed to the full force of the north-east monsoon, From the bluff an extensive partly cultivated plain stretches, over which there is some sport, snipe, plover, quail, and pigeons being found in large numbers, while duck and other water fowl are not numerous. The climate is considered to be very salubrious. The estimated population of the port is 20,000.
No port in China is more easily approached and entered than that of Pakhoi. The landmarks are conspicuous and unmistakeable. The channel is wide and deep and has no hidden danger to be avoided. The anchorage is a mile and a half from the town. There is good landing at high water, but at ebb tide only for small boats.
The construction of a railway by a French Company from Pakhoi to Maning has been authorised, but work on the project has not yet been commenced.
