LAPPA
Lappa, also called by the Chinese Kung Pak, is an island, directly opposite the Inner Harbour of Macao, the distance across being from 1 to 1 miles. One of the stations of the Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs is located here, and another on an islet called Malowchow. Lappa is under the jurisdiction of the Heungshan Magistrate. It possesses no features of interest beyond the fact that it is the principal Customs station in the neighbourhood of Macao. The net value of the trade passing through the Lappa Custom Houses in 1897 was Tls. 13,143,774, in 1896 Tls. 12,596,298, and in 1895 Tls. 9,375,928.

SAMSHUI
- Sản shui
Samshui, one of the ports opened in 1897 under the Burmah Convention, is situated near the junction of the West, North, and East Rivers, two miles from the river bank, its port being Hokow. The town is surrounded by an imposing wall, but the houses are poorly built and the place is wanting in life. Between the town and the river is a fine nine-storied Pagoda. The business centre of the district is Sainam, a large and well built town about three miles distant, situated on a creek leading to Fatshan. According to the Treaty, Samshui and Kongkun together constitute the port. The formal opening took place on the 4th June, 1897. The net value of the trade of the port coming under the cognisance of the Foreign Customs, for the portion of the year 1897 that it was open, was Tls. 103,564.
