PAKHOI-HOIHOW
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, which very often blows so hard for several days that it materially interferes with the load- ing and discharging of steamers in the harbour. The bluff, or the plain above the town, is level for miles, which makes riding both on bicycle and on horse-back a decided pleasure. The foreigners almost exclusively live on the bluff, which in former years was only dotted by a few European buildings, but has recently been ornamented with several new structures. From the bluff an extensive partly-cultivated plain develops, over which some sport is obtainable-snipe, plover, quail, and pigeons being found in large numbers, but 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 Custom House. 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 Nanning, though authovised a few years ago, the work on the project has not yet been commenced. A free School is now firmly istablished by the French Government to teach the French language to the Chinese and others, the number of boys atending this School now amounts to 40, with a tendency to increase. A French Medical Officer, who is attached to the French Consulate, also gives his attendance free to both Europeans and Chinese.
