Note 10 — Chapter III · HANGCHOW[10]
Reading edition
Hangchow, though not geographically in the drainage area of the Yangtze, as the capital of Chekiang, which has been declared officially to be within our “sphere of interest” in the Yangtze Valley, is treated of here as being specially interesting. Of Ningpo, Wenchow, and Soochow, open ports in the same province, merely the net value of their total net trade for 1898 is given, along with that of Hangchow:—
Ningpo £2,162,780
Wenchow 215,669
Soochow 229,113
Hangchow 1,199,022
