NANNING
甯南 Nan-ning
The port of Nanning, declared open to foreign trade on the 1st January, 1907, is 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 hsien city and is the seat of the Chiang Chün and Hsün An Shih and Military and Civil Governors 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 net value 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. The trade of the port for 1913 was Hk. Tls. 7,600,752, compared with Hk. Tls. 7,033,825
