Framed Print of Pagoda anchorage, Foochoo, China, 1880. Creator: Unknown
Pagoda anchorage, Foochoo, China, 1880. One of the principal Chinese ports opened to the British and other foreign trade is Foochoo, the capital city of the Fu-Kien province, which is situated north of Quang-Tung, or Canton...The city...stands three miles from the banks of the river. The anchorage for ships is ten miles lower down, at Lo-Sing Island, also called Pagoda Island, from a small building of that class upon the isle, which is the subject of our illustration. There is a dock, of European construction, opposite the island. Above this place only vessels of light draught can ascend the river, its navigation being much impeded by shoals, which were increased during the war of 1841 between China and Great Britain by a dam constructed to prevent our gun-boats passing up to Foochoo. Passengers and goods are conveyed beyond the anchorage in native boats. There are two large pagodas above, with a great Buddhist monastery, on the Kushan or Drum Mountain...The foreign hongs or mercantile wharves and warehouses, with the residences of the Consuls, merchants, and missionaries, are on the banks of the river, a short distance from the walled Chinese city'.
