CHEMULPO

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 Chosen (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 and rapidly increasing centre of trade, with a native population of just under 13,000 and a foreign population of about 13,500, of which between 11,000 and 12,000 are Japanese; the Chinese number between 1,000 and 2,000, the number being greatest in the summer months; the European population numbers about 50. A railway runs from Chemulpo to Fusan, meeting the line from Seoul at Yong-dong-po (Yei-do-ho). The Settlements are fairly well built over and are now fully occupied. The price of land has risen to almost fabulous rates.
