KONGMOON
Kong-moon
Kongmoon was added to the list of Treaty Ports on 7th March, 1904, in accordance with the stipulations of Article X. of the Mackay Treaty. It is located some three miles upa creek on the West River, in the Kwangchow Prefecture of the Kwangtung Province in Lat. 22° 34′ 49′′ N. and Long. 113° 8′ 53′′ E. and is about 45 miles distant from Macao, 70 from Canton and 87 from Hongkong. The Creek on which it is built connects the West River with the sea at Ngaimoon and is a narrow and tortuous stream, the lower reaches of which, near the main river, are lined with rafts, while further up in the vicinity of the town it is crowded with native craft of every description, thus rendering navigation for steamers difficult at all times, but especially so when the current runs fast during the summer months. The steamer anchorage is in the West River at the mouth of the Creek, opposite the Imperial Maritime Customs, but the town is included in the Port Limits. The population of Kongmoon is about 35,000, and it has the appearance of being a more populous centre as it extends for a considerable distance on both banks of the stream. Its proximity to Hongkong and Macao and its favourable situation as an outlet and distributing centre for the South-western districts of the Canton Delta augur well for its future prosperity and development. There is daily steam communication with Hongkong; regular connection with Macao; and consider- able numbers of vessels trading under the Inland Waters Regulations arrive and depart daily. There are also several large junks trading regularly to Hongkong, Macao and the island of Hainan.
