Haiphong

There is one through train daily each way between Haiphong and Yunnan-fu.

On our way to Haiphong the vessel stopped at the island of Hainan and anchored about three miles off the town of Hoi-hau.

Haiphong is an attractive town of some twenty thousand inhabitants, of whom perhaps one thousand are Europeans.

The working dress of Haiphong was full, long, square-cut trousers over which fell a sort of prolonged shirt slashed to the waist.
