The importance of Whampoa is now a thing of the past. The place will always however, possess some interest for foreigners, since the earliest recollections of foreign commercial intercourse with China are associated with it, all foreign ships being in old times compelled to anchor at Whampoa.

CHINESE KOWLOON CUSTOMS
This is the inclusive name given to the Chinese Customs stations placed around Hongkong for the purpose of collecting duty on the trade carried on by_Chinese junks between Hongkong and Chinese ports. In 1899, when the New Territory was taken over by Hongkong, the Customs stations had to be removed from their former locations which had been brought within the British boundary, and the present stations are situated at Taishan, Lintin, Shamchün, Shatowkok, Shayuchung, and Samun (Tooniang), besides which there are a number of frontier patrol posts on the north shores of Deep and Mirs Bays and between the two bays. The net value of the trade of 1905 was Tls. 42,946,800, against Tls. 43,771,566 in 1904; Tis. 42,507,795 in 1903, Tls. 46,784,280 in 1902, and Tls. 49,128,622 in 1901. The largest on record was in 1899, viz.: Tls. 56,532, 226.
