SANTUA O
Santuao was voluntarily opened to foreign trade by the Chinese Government on the 8th May, 1899. The port includes the whole of the magnificent Santu Inlet, which is situated some 70 miles north of Foochow. The island of Santuao in the centre of the inlet. The harbour is certainly one of the finest on the China coast: the approaches to it are well-defined, and vessels of the largest size may enter at any time, regardless of the state of tide. H. M.S. Waterwitch surveyed the whole of the inlet in 1899, and an Admiralty chart has been published. A telegraph cable was successfully laid from the mainland to the island July, 1905, and communication established with all China ports. A new cable connecting the telegraph office at Santuao with the mainland was laid in May, 1921, and the inconvenience caused by receiving and dispatching all messages from the other side of the harbour, which had been experienced for four years previously, was thus removed.
The port of Santuao serves important tea districts as much of the tea exported from Foochow to Europe is first shipped from Santuao. No building operations worth mentioning have been undertaken at the port; and no modern methods have as yet been introduced in the manufacture of the principal local products paper and pottery, though excellent raw material is close at hand, especially extensive deposits of kaolin capable of yielding far superior pottery than is now brought on the market from this district. The iron mines in the districts of Kutien, Fuan, and Siapu, where the deposits were reported in 1918 to be of a promising nature, have not yet been properly exploited, and so far no smelting works at Santuao, as then anticipated, have been erected, so that a regular trade in this valuable mineral does not yet exist here. The chief towns of the district are Funing, Fu-an, Ningte and Shouning.
