PAKHOI, or PEIHAI

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 521 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAI-PAS
PAKHOI, or PEIHAI , a city and treaty port of China, in the west of the province of Kwang-tung, situated on a bay of the Gulf of Tong-king, formed by the peninsula running
south
 -west from Lien-chow, in 210 30'. N., 1090 So' E. Pop. about 25,000.
Dating only from about 182o--183o, and at first little better than a
nest
  of pirates, Pakhoi rapidly grew into commercial import. ance, owing partly to the complete freedom which it enjoyed from taxation, and partly to the diversion of
trade
  produced by the T'ai-p'ing rebellion. The
establishment
  of a Chinese custom-
house
  and the opening of the ports of
Hanoi
  and Haiphong for a time threatened to injure its prospects; but, foreign
trade
  being permitted in 18761877, it began in 1879 to be regularly visited by foreign steamers. The Chinese town stands on the peninsula and faces due north. From the bluff, on which all the foreign community lives, a partly cultivated plain extends. Liquid indigo,
sugar
 , aniseed and aniseed oil, cassia-lignea and cassia oil, cuttle-fish and hides are the
chief
  exports. With Macao especially an extensive junk trade is carried on. A large number of the inhabitants engage in fishing and fish-curing. The preparation of dried fish is a speciality of Pakhoi, the fish being exported to Hong Kong.
