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 1905 was Tls. 16,858,584. against Tls. 17,735,132 in 1904; Tls. 16,756,562, in 1903; Tls. 16,898,378 in 1902; Tls. 14,606,412 in 1901 ; and Tls. 13,573,069 in 1909. It was expected that the opening of the treaty port of Kongmoon would diminish the junk-carried business to the west and south of the West River Delta, but the Commissioner of Customs in his latest reports anticipates that with the assistance of towing launches there will be a development of this trade. The craft which the local builders have evolved after centuries of experience, towed by a small and handy, but powerful tug, he says, unites all the qualities suitable to the requirements.
