SANTUAO
Santuao was voluntarily opened to foreign trade by the Chinese Government on the th May, 1899. The port includes the whole of the magnificent Samsah Inlet, which is situated some 70 miles North of Foochow. The foreign settlement is on the island of Santu in the centre of the Inlet. The harbour is certainly one of the finest on the China coast: the approaches to it are well-defined, and vessels of the largest size may enter at any time, regardless of the state of tide. H.M.S. Waterwitch surveyed the whole of the Inlet in 1899, and an Admiralty chart has been published. A telegraph cable was successfully laid from the mainland to the Settlement in July, 1905, and communication established with all China ports.
The port of Santuno serves important Tea districts. Much of the Tea exported from Foochow to Europe is first shipped from Santuao; and there is a growing demand in North China for certain varieties grown in the neighbourhood. The chief towns of the district are Funing, Fu-an, Ningte, and Shouning. There is a prosperous and increasing junk-trade, and regular steamship communication with the provincial capital. The net value of the trade of the port for 1911 was Hk. Tls. 2,876,378, as com- pared with Hk. Tls. 2,916,984 for 1910, Tls. 2,615,032 for 1909, and Tls. 2,659,287 for 1908. The value of the junk trade for 1911 was Tls. 2,585,406.
