CHINNAMPO

Chin-nam-po

浦南

This port was opened to foreign trade on the 1st October, 1997, in pursuance of a resolution passed by the Council of State. The port is situated on the north bank of the Tatung inlet, about twenty miles from its mouth, in the extreme south-west of the province of Ping-yang. It is some forty miles distant by water from Ping-yang, the third city in the Kingdom, with a population of 40,000, and it is expected that it will become a place of considerable commercial activity. The province is rich in agricultural and mineral wealth, the latter being now developed by foreign enterprise.

The net value of the trade of Chinnampo during the year 1900 amounted to $1,754,870. The business of the port is increasing year by year, the rich hinterland holding out good prospects for the future. Building operations in the General Foreign Settlement are going on apace, and where formerly only a few mud-huts were to be seen, substantial wooden and brick buildings are now taking their places. The business community is entirely composed of Chinese and Japanese to the total number of about 500.

The principal articles of export are Rice, Beans, Wheat, Maize, Cow-hides and Timber. Of imports, Cotton and Silk Piece Goods, Matches, Kerosine, Porcelain, Iron and Hardware, &c., &c., deserve mention. The harbour of Chinnampo affords safe accommodation for a great number of vessels of the deepest draught and the largest tonnage.
