SZEM AO

Szemao is situated on the north western frontier of Yunnan and was opened to Franco-Annamite trade by the Franco-Chinese Convention of 20th June, 1895. It is the seat of a considerable trade with the Shan States, and was suggested by Mr. Archibald Colquhoun as the terminus of a railway running from Bangkok via Zimmé and having connection with the Burmese system. The town lies in the centre of a plain, and bears evidence in its fine stone bridges and causeways, now falling into decay, of having once possessed a greater importance than it does to-day. The trade in the celebrated Puerh tea centres at this point.
