海北 Pak-hoi

+

Pakhoi was opened to foreign trade by the Chefoo Convention in 1877. It is situated on the Gulf of Tongking in long. E. 109 deg. 7 min. and lat. N. 21 deg. 29 min..

The Chinese town is situated on a peninsula, at the western extremity of which are a few low hills (Kuantao Head). It faces nearly due north, and in winter is much exposed to the force of the N.E. monsoon winds. These blow so hard at times as to interfere materially with the shipment and discharge of cargo from. steamers in the harbour, the anchorage for which is situated opposite the western end. of the town and a mile and a half from the Custom House at the eastern end of the town. The foreign residences are situated on slightly higher ground to the south. of the town.

Extending to the south and east is a plain which is level for many miles, although the country gradually rises towards the north. Attempts at cultivation have been made upon this plain immediately to the south of the town, but with varying success.. Very rough cart roads intersect the country in the vicinity of the port and are utilized. for bringing in some of the produce from the surrounding district. The carts in use for this purpose are heavy, unwieldy vehicles of an almost pre-historic type. They are drawn largely by oxen and have huge solid wooden wheels of the most primitive pattern, by whichi, needless to say, the roads are badly cut up in wet weather. During the past two years an extensive road building programme has been carried out and there is now a motor service between Pakhoi and Limchow (H), Limchow and. Shekhong(), and Limchow and Paksha ). Another service connects. Pakhoi with the large trade mart of Nanhong (). A bridge has finally been erected across the Paksha River which connects Pakhoi by motor road with Kwangchowwan, a distance of 180 miles. Sportsmen will find the following game in
