CHEMULPO
Port of JENCHUAN, called also JINSEN and INCHIUN
浦物濟 Che-mul-po
This port, called by the Japanese Jinsen, and by the Chinese Jenchuan, is situated on the west coast of Corea, in the metropolitan province of Kiongki, at the entrance of the Salée River, an embouchure of the Han or Seoul River. It was opened to foreign trade in 1883, when it was a poor fishing village, and is now a flourishing centre of trade with a native population of 11,000, and a foreign population of 10,642, of which 9,484 are Japanese, and 1,074 Chinese. A railway now runs from Chemulpo to Fusan, and there is a branch line to Seoul.
The Settlements are fairly well built over and are now fully occupied. The price of land has risen to almost fabulous rates.
Chemulpo enjoys a beautiful climate and is never shut up by ice. The port has two anchorages, the outer one affording a safe berthing to ships of all size, and the inner one frequented by ships of about 1,000 tons. An enormous rise and fall of the tide, which averages 30 feet, renders the inner anchorage difficult of access to larger ships, and is also a serious hindrance to the navigation of the Seoul River. Only vessels not drawing over six feet may safely run between Chemulpo and Mapu, a place on the river three miles south-west of the capital.
