TAKU

沽大 Ta-ku

The village of Taku is of inconsiderable size and contains few shops and no buildings of interest. About a mile below the village in a direct line lie the Old Southern and Central Fort, while on the northern bank of the river lies the Northern Fort. All are completely demolished and now present the appearance of mounds of earth, though periodical whitewashing of the surface facing seaward makes them serve a useful modern purpose an aid to navigation. The railway from the neighbouring town of Tangku, on the Northern Bank of the river, to Tientsin was completed in 1888.

Between the signal-station and Messrs. Butterfield & Swire wharf on the northern bank is situated Cockle Village" so called because of the comparatively large industry for the boiling and drying of shellfish such as cockles, crabs, clams, etc., that is carried on there. When dried, these shellfish are exported by steamer to Shanghai and Canton principally, whence they are sent inland for consumption. This is Taku's greatest asset, as the country round about for some distance is covered with salt-pans and salt heaps, which render the country unfit for cultivation.
