     Hun-chʻun is essentially a garrison town, though there are a few dealers in seaweed, toadstools, and medicinal roots, large quantities of which are sent to Ninguta and Kirin, and thence to all parts of China. There is also a considerable trade in deer-horns.

The nearest point on Chinese territory to the coast in this extreme east is Chinese Hun-ch'un, which stands some thirty miles inland from Passiet Bay.
