WUHU
#Wú-hú
This port (the name of which signifies "grass and lakes," ie., swamps) was opened to foreign trade, by the Chefoo Convention, on the 1st April, 1877. It is situated on the Yangtsze, in the province of An-hwei, and is a "half-way" port between Chinkiang and Kewkiang, though nearer to the former. It has the appearance of a thriving and busy town, and is admirably located for trade. This is mainly owing to the excellence of its water communication with the interior. A large canal, with a depth of five to six feet of water in the winter and ten to twelve feet in the summer, connects the port with the important city of Ning-kuoh-fu, in southern An-hwei, fifty miles distant. Another canal runs inland for over eight miles in a south-westerly direction to Taiping-hsien, an extensive tea district. This canal, which is only navigable in the summer, passes through Nan-ling and King-hsien, where the cultivation of silk is carried on, and may some day be of importance. The silk districts of Nan-ling and King-hsien are situated within fifty miles of Wuhu. Besides the canals leading to Ning-kuoh-fu and Taiping-hsien, there are two others communicating with Su-an and
Tung pill be seen from the above enumeration of the facilities for water carriage from
Wuhu that it is calculated to prove an emporium for commerce. The value of the trade of the port for the year 1912 was Hk. Tls. 29,506,289, as compared with Tls. 21,432,157 in 1911, Coal may some day become a considerable article of export from Wuhu, both native and foreign capital having been directed to the great coal fields of the province.
