HAIPHONG

a.

well-built European town with broad boulevards, lighted by electricity, has sprung up and is fast assuming the aspect of a prosperous city. Industries are developing, cotton mill has produced yarn since 1900 and a cement factory has delivered cement and hydraulic lime since the end of 1901. There is a very pretty theatre, built in 1900 by the Municipality. The Hôtel du Commerce is a large and handsome structure, its lofty mansard roof dominating every building in the town. There is a church attached to the Roman Catholic Mission. A small dock and some fine wharves and godowns have been made. A Public Garden of rather limited area with a bandstand in the centre has been neatly laid out at the end of the Boulevard Paul Bert. The Cercle_du Commerce, which is a well managed Club, has its domicile in the Boulevard Paul Bert. The Racecourse is about a mile from the town on the Do Son Road. There are several newspapers published in the town. The population of Haiphong is about 18,480, of whom less than 1,000 are Europeans, about 5,500 Chinese, and 12,000 Annamites. A regular service of river steamers is maintained between Hanoi and Haiphong by the Messageries Fluviales, and Haiphong is connected by submarine cable with Saigon and Hongkong. Haiphong is becoming an important centre of the Tonkin railways.
