MASAMPO
浦山馬
Masampo was opened to foreign trade on the 1st May, 1899. The population in December 1933 was 27,470 (Koreans 22,242, Japanese 5,187). The climate is very mild. The harbour is good and in summer it serves as an excellent sea-bathing place. The superior accommodation of Fusan greatly interferes with the commercial expansion of Masampo.
MOKPO
浦木 Mok-po
Mokpo, in Japanese "Moppo", in the province of South Zenra, owes its prosperity to the rich agricultural lands lying behind it. It has a good and well-protected harbour with deep water permitting ships up to 15,000 tons to anchor close inshore. Regular steamship lines ply to other Korean ports and to Japan. Mokpo is the principal cotton-shipping port of Korea, but even here the rice exports are of far greater importance. Both go exclusively to Japan. The population in 1933 was 55,667.
