History

Zhapu is the site of a deepwater harbor on the northern shore of Hangzhou Bay, noted as a port since the Tang.[3] Under the Qing, an extensive canal network connected it to Hangzhou and turned it into the area's principal port.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. Under the dynasty's restrictive trade policies, its merchants monopolized China's trade with Korea and Japan.[4]

At the time of the First Opium War, Chapu was protected by an imperial army garrison[5] and a city wall with a circuit of about 5 miles (8.0 km).Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. The British captured the town on 18 May 1842 but abandoned it shortly thereafter.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. By that time, the harbor had begun silting up and was only accessible to the lighter-draft British vessels.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. It was omitted from the treaty ports at the end of the war and declined in importance relative to nearby Shanghai and Ningbo.

By the early 20th century, its harbor had effectively silted up and the town became a backwater.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.
