Background: Shanghai, The Hong Kew Market. The life and movement on the river are wonderful. Great merchantmen lie along the fine wharves at Hong Kew, for Shanghai is without a rival among the ports of China in the volume and value of its trade. This importance it owes to its position on a river accessible to ocean-going vessels and to its connection by numerous canals with rich tea and silk-growing provinces in the interior
