LAPPA

Lappa is the large, hilly island which shelters the inner harbour of Macao on its western side. It is also called by the Chinese Kung Pak of Tui Lien Shan, and by the- Portuguese Patera Island. The island itself, which is within the jurisdiction of the Chungshan Magistrate (at Shekki) possesses no features of interest; but it has given its name to the chain of stations under the control of the Chinese Maritime Customs which were established around Macao, by agreement with the Portuguese Government, in the year 1887. Of these stations the two principal-from a revenue collecting point of view-are at Malowchow, an islet close to Lappa and Chienshan, north of Green Island.
