WUCHOW-FU

843

The only local industry worthy of mention is boat-building; when the river falls the foreshore is lined with matsheds where native craft of all descriptions, from a huge salt junk to a diminutive sanipan, are constructed. Wuchow itself offers few attrac- tions to the tourist, but the river scenery on the way up, especially between the Shui- hing and Takhing Gorges, where the stream winds in and out among the green hills to form a succession of apparent lakes, is extremely picturesque, and has not altogether unjustly been compared to the Rhine. Wuchow is connected by telegraph with Hong- kong, Shanghai &c.; and the Imperial Chinese Post has recently established postal cominunication with all the principal towns in Kuangsi.
