KOUANG-TCHEOU-WAN
Indo-China. It was divided into three circumscriptions. The superior administration of the territory is directed by a first class administrator in the civil service of Indo-China, assisted by three deputy administrators, each taking charge of one circumscription, residing at Tche-kam, Po-teou and Nao Tcheou. Each circumscription is divided into districts administered by the native authorities ( Kong-hü). The chief place of the territory is the new town of Ma Tché, which is at the entrance of the interior port. The village of Fort Bayard, on the right bank of the river Ma Tché, contains important military installations, and on the left bank is the commercial port, with the establishments of the civil administration and the special offices.
Kouang-tcheou-wan is a free port in which all commercial operations can be carried on without paying any duty. A regular bi-monthly line of steamers joins Kouang-tcheou- wan to Haiphong and Hongkong, calling at Pakhoi and Hoihow. Eight steamers of French-Chinese and German companies connect Kouang-tcheou-wan with Hongkong, and another steamer makes the service between Kouang-tcheou-wan, Macao ɛnd Canton. Commerce has already largely extended since the steamers entered this port in com- munication with the exterior ports, and it is expected to develop considerably. The Chinese population of the territory is about 189,000, and the superficial area is 84,244 hectares, containing 1,233 villages.
