MASAMPO
Si III fl
Masampo was Opened to foreign trade on the 1st May, 1899. The population in
January 1931 was 25,8ia, (Coreans 20,149, Japanese 5,559). The climate is very mild.
The harbour is good and in summer it serves as an excellent sea-bathing place. The
Masampo branch of the Sepul-Fusan railway besides several lines of small steamers
connect with the port of Fusan, and the superior accommodation of the latter port
greatly interferes with the commercial expansion of Masampp.
MOKPO
If Moh.po
Mokpo, which, like Chinnampo, was opened to foreign trade on the 1st October,
1897, in pursuance of a resolution of the Council of State, is a seaport in the province
of Cholla and has an excellent harbour capable of providing anchorage accommodation
for thirty or forty vessels of large tonnage. Cholla is a great rice-growing district and
has the reputation of being the wealthiest province in the country, and Mokpo lies at
the mouth of a river which drains nearly the whole province. Mokpo has undergone
a great transformation since it was opened. In 1897 it consisted of a few native huts
surrounded by paddy fields and mud flats. The houses now number upwards of 3,500
and the population according to the census of January 1931, was 31,817 (Coreans 23,488,
Japanese 8,003.) A sea-wall has been built and a bund road over a mile in length has
been made.
