Excerpt from A Trip on the West River: New Going and Coming When describing the industries and particulars of certain towns or relating some legend connected with various scenes on the journey up and down the West River, I have often been asked by numerous passengers and friends to put the information conveyed to them into print. With diffidence I now place the following pages before the public with one hope, that it may induce many to come and see this magnificent and important waterway. The Sai Kong is the third largest river in the Empire and second only to the Yangtse in importance. This magnificent trade route was kept strictly closed to foreign traffic by the Chinese Government until the 6th June, 1897.
