HAIPHONG

Haiphong has two public gardens, where military concerts are given on Sundays and Thursdays. The small Botanical Garden of the Lach Tray, two miles out of town, is one of the evening promenades.

The appearance of this city, agreeably disposed among trees and tropical vegeta- tion, appeals to the eye of the traveller arriving by sea on a sunny day.

The city, originally comprised within the Cua-Cam and Song-Tam Bac rivers and the Bonnal canal, soon spread beyond these narrow limits owing to the development of its commerce and industry, foreign and indigenous. The principal industrial concerns are cement works (whose products are known all over the Far East), cotton mills, rice mills, brick, tile and ceramic factories, foundries, shipbuilding yards, and an important factory (opened in the beginning of 1922) for the making of all sorts of chemical products.

The total population is 75,700, of whom 2,200 are Europeans, 60,000 are Annamese, and the remainder (in order of importance) Chinese, Indian and Japanese.

Haiphong is connected with Hanoi by rail, passenger-trains running three times a day each way, and is in communication by submarine cable with Saigon and Hongkong.
