ANNAM

Less than an hour's journey by boat from the town are the Marble Mountains, an object of interest for travellers, who should not pass through Tourane without paying them a visit. The population of Tourane is about 5,770, of whom 235 are European, 53 Chinese, and 5,000 Annamites.

QUINHON

Quinhon was opened to foreign trade upon the conclusion of the Treaty between France and Annain, signed in March, 1874. It is situated on the coast of Annam in about lat. 13 deg. 54 min. N., long., 109 deg. 02 min. E. The entrance to the port is obstructed by a bar, which may be crossed, however, by any vessel with a draught not exceeding 16 to 16 feet. The chief articles of export are salt, silk, crapes, beans, arachide oil and cakes, sugar, etc. The population of the province is one million; that of the port 3,000, of whom about 20 are French civilians. The country is well cultivated, and the commercial prospects of the port are improving every year. A considerable trade is carried on, chiefly with Hongkong, Haiphong, Saigon, Singapore, and Bangkok. The trade is at present principally in the hands of the Chinese.
