HOIHOW
There is no telegraphic communication with the mainland at present. The military wireless station, however, has been opened to the public, with limited places and certain restrictions, also one privately owned wireless station. A harbour light, and a light at Lamko (western entrance of the Hainan Straits) were opened in 1894; also one at Cape Cami on the lower tip of the peninsula in 1895. An Aga Lantern apparatus was installed on the West Fort close to the city at the commencement of 1916. The approach to the harbour badly needs dredging, but is not likely to be dredged until the native merchants of Hoihow develope a more public spirit, and conditions in China improve generally!
