KONGMOON

1465

The unique opportuna presented for transport by the unrivalled waterways of the delta have been well developed by native enterprise, and there is a large and lucrative passenger trade with Canton, Fatshan, Suncheong, Hongkong, Macao, etc. Huge and roomy native passenger boats equipped with modern conveniences and towed by powerful launches are engaged in this trade. The surrounding country is picturesque, fertile and highly cultivated, and the inhabitants are prosperous and industrious. Rice is, of course, the principal crop, and is milled locally, but mulberry shoots are not so extensively cultivated as hitherto on account of the unremunerative sericultural industry, and many a farmer grows oranges, vegetables, etc. instead. Large quantities of fresh vegetables are still exported to supply the Hongkong market.
