KOWLOON FRONTIER DISTRICT OF

THE CHINESE MARITIME

CUSTOMS

This is the inclusive name given to the Chinese Maritime Customs stations adjacent to Hongkong and established in 1887 in accordance with the Chefoo Agreement of 1876 and its Additional Article of 1885 for the purpose of recording the movement of opium and of collecting duty on the trade carried on by Chinese junks between Hongkong and Chinese ports. In 1899, when the New Territory was taken over by Hongkong, the Customs stations were removed from their former locations, which had been brought within the British boundary, and the present Stations and Barriers, naming them from west to east, are as follows: Lintin Station and Taishan Station (in the Canton Delta), Shehow and Kwaimiao Stations (on the shores of Deep Bay), Shatao Barrier (at the mouth of Shum- chun River), Tsoc Yuk Wai Barrier (Shumchun River Station), Shumchun Railway Station and Lower Barrier (at Shumchun-nearby is Shumchun H.Q. and Wireless Station, a group of buildings on a hill not classed as a Customs Station), Lofong and Lentong Barriers and Shataokok Station (at the mouth of starting inlet). Yumtu and Sha-u-chung Stations and Namo Barrier (on the shores of Mirs Bay), Samun Station (on Tu Niang Island beyond Mirs point and further up the coast of Swabue Station). In addition there are certain minor posts for purely preventive work. Most of these Stations are tem- porarily evacuated due to the hostilities.
