LAPPA
Lappa, also called by the Chinese "Kung Pak," is an island directly opposite the Inner Harbour of Macao, the distance across being from 1 to 11⁄2 miles. Four of the stations of the Chinese Maritime Customs are located here, and another on an islet called Malowchow. Beyond the Barrier Gate of Macao there are several more Customs stations. Under the Lappa Customs' control there are also Tungho and Naiwanmoon stations. Lappa is under the jurisdiction of the Heungshan Magistrates. It possesses no features of interest beyond the fact that it is the principal Customs station in the neighbourhood of Macao. The net value of the trade passing through the Lappa Customs stations in 1920 was Hk. Tis. 17,993,235, as compared with Hk. Tls. 13,296,263 in 1919. The diversion of the course of trade to and from the Luichow Prefecture oper- ates 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.
