LAPPA-SAMSHUI

1075

Lappa Customs stations in 1912 was Tls. 17,229,820. The diversion of the course of trade to and from the Luichow Prefecture operates against Lappa. Much of the cargo which formerly came thence in junks to Macao and reported at Malowchow now avails itself of the more convenient and doubtless safer direct steamer carriage between the French port of Kwang-chow-wan and Macao. There is also a tendency for a portion of the west coast produce to go via Kongmoon, whether destined for Hongkong or Canton, and the old junk trade of this region with the foreign colonies. is gradually disappearing.

SAMSHUI

* Sam-shui 水三

The Treaty port of Samshui, opened in 1897 under the Burmah Convention-nearly forty years after Consul Harry Parkes' East River Expedition-is situated near the junction of the West and North Rivers, in lat. 23 deg. 6 min. 30 sec. N., and long. 112 deg. 53 min. and 48 sec. E. The anchorage known as Hokow, at which foreigners reside, was formerly an ordinary Chinese fishing village, with boat building as its leading industry, and a flooded state in summer as its characteristic peculiarity, but it is fast becoming a busy town. According to the Convention, the town of Samshui and Kongkên (a dirty little village situated among the hills opposite Hokow) together constitute the port area. The formal opening took place on 4th June,
