村井龍 Lungchingtsun
Lungchingtsun (Dragon Well Village), situated lat. 42 deg. 46 min. N. and long 129 deg. 25 min. E. from Gr., is one of the trade marts opened on 1st January, 1910, under the Chino-Korean Frontier Agreement of 4th September, 1909. The mart has a population of about 9,000 inhabitants composed of about 6,000 Koreans, 2,500 Chinese, and 550 Japanese. Situated in a fertile plain, its exports are agricultural products: millet, kaoliang, maize, wheat, barley, and beans; also native spirits from local distilleries. There are promising mining possibilities (coal, copper, silver, and gold) waiting development. For the last four years copper has been exported from Che Tien Pao Shan mine. The trade-by carts and mules-is mainly via Huining and Seishin to and from Korea. The principal imports are kerosene oil, matches, cotton goods, and Japanese sundries.. The value of the trade coming under the cognisance of the Customs was Hk. Tls. 3,315,378 in 1919, as compared with Hk. Tls. 2,770,115 in 1918 and Hk. Tls. 1,281,113 in 1917. With better means of communication, improved banking facilities and currency, trade is likely to improve considerably.
