Foochow Port and City Life Under Foreign Trade Yoke
A lengthy, fragmented travelogue describes Foochow as a busy port with plantations, tea and fragrance exports, and a river-to-city journey by sedan chairs. It notes foreign consulates, western churches, and native crafts, detailing docks, warehouses, and bustling markets. The piece blends colonial gaze with vivid, sometimes garbled depictions of people, trade, and daily life along the Min River toward Pagoda Anchorage.
