MASAMPO

浦山馬

Masampo was opened to foreign trade on the 1st May, 1899. It has a native population of roughly 34,000. The climate is very mild and the harbour is also good. In summer it serves as a good sea-bathing place; the Japanese Settlement is making nowadays very great progress and the inhabitants amount to about 3,000. Regular lines of small steamers connect the port of Fusan. Its proximity to Fusan and the superior accommodation of the latter port greatly interferes with the com- mercial expansion of Masampo. The foreign trade at this port fluctuates considerably but never exceeds a million yen a year.
