Japanese and a number of substantial Chinese residents. A seawall was built and a bund road, over a mile in length, was made. The climate of Mokpo is healthy and salubrious; the scenery much resembles that of South Japan and is picturesque in the extreme. Shooting may be had in perfection, and pheasants, geese, ducks, deer, wild boar and leopards abound. Even tigers will be met with plentifully by those who care to hunt for them. Instances are not at all rare in which pigs, dogs and even men are carried off by these beasts of prey. Many of the natives are experts in training eagles to hunt smaller birds, like pheasants, &c.
The anticipations which were entertained of Mokpo at the time of its opening have proved over-sanguine, doubtless because the port of Kunsan was subsequently opened to foreign trade, and has flourished at the expense of Mokpo. The trade statistics of Mokpo, however, continue to record steady growth. In 1903 the total trade showed an increase in value of about forty per cent. as compared with the figures of the previous year. The Exports in 1903 amounted to £105,106 and imports to £85,952.
