NANNING
甯南 Nun-ning
is The port of Nanning, declared open to foreign trade on the 1st January, 1907, situated on the left bank of the Tso-Kiang, one of the branches of the West River, 368 miles above Wuchow and about 195 miles below Lungchow, the frontier port on the Tonkinese border. It lies in the centre of a wide fertile plain in a sharp bend of the river, which there describes nearly two-thirds of the arc of a circle. It is a țu city and is the seat of the Tutuh of Kwangsi Province. Below the walled city and adjacent to the lower suburbs is the site which has been set apart for a Settlement; it occupies the only spot near the city which is above high-water mark. The regulations do not allow the purchase of land on the Settlement site, but merely its lease for 30 years, which period may be extended on expiry for another 30 years. Foreigners desiring to lease land must apply through their Consul.
The
The net lue of the trade of the port advanced from Hk. Tls. 1,544,000 in 1907 to Hk. Tls. 5,385,478 in 1910, but dropped to Hk. Tls. 4,700,517 in 1911. bulk of the carrying trade is now done by motor boats, of which there is already a small fleet plying regularly throughout the year between Wuchow and Nanning. The round trip can be made by motor boat from Wuchow in five to six days, as against the journey by junk which takes about twenty days on the upward trip only. The only Europeans residing there at present are missionaries and the Customs staff.
Nanning is, next to Wuchow, the most important port on the West River. The site selected for the foreign settlement covers à very extensive area and is situated where the old city formerly stood, about a mile distant from the present walled city. Whether the area set apart for international residence and trade is ever likely to be fully occupied it is perhaps early yet to say. The journey by boat from Wuchow to Nanning occupies about twenty days. Six good motor boats now ply regularly between Wuchow and Nanning, each making the round trip in six days. The only Europeans residing there at present are missionaries and the Customs staff.
