This harbor is in the southwestern corner of a considerable bay, in which are two large and many smaller islands. The largest and westernmost island, named Amoy, forms the northern limit of the harbor, which is sheltered on the east by the smaller of the two principal islands, while the mainland shelters is on the west and south. The town of Amoy is situated at the south end of the larger island, and the anchorage for ships is immediately in front of it. en https://books.google.com.hk/books?id=RqpPAAAAcAAJ&dq=NAmoa&source=gbs_navlinks_s 1847 Robert Fortune Three Years' Wanderings in the Northern Provinces of China: Including a Visit to the Tea, Silk, and Cotton Countries; with an Account of the Agriculture and Horticulture of the Chinese, New Plants, Etc. 2nd John Murray, Albemarle Street 23–24 Leaving Namoa, and sailing up the coast towards Amoy, the stranger is continually struck with the barren rocky nature of the coast, and in some parts has a view of hills of sand, the particles of which, when a hurricane blows, mix with the wind, and whiten the ropes of vessels and render it most unpleasant to be in the vicinity. en https://archive.org/details/flowerylan00halcmysticrich/mode 1896 The Mystic Flowery Land: A Personal Narrative Charles J.

The traders from China brought two Chinese languages— the Amoy language of Fukien province and the Cantonese language of Macau port.

Noon kasi'y bawal maglayag tungong Tsina ang mga galeóng Espanyol. Binuksan din ang Maynila noong 1789 para sa mga barkong Europeong di-Espanyol na may kargadang mga kagamitang mula sa Asya. Simula iyon ng pagpapabilis ng kalakalan ng Filipinas sa pagdating ng mga sampan mulang Amoy at Chu'uan-chou sa Fukien. Nagpatuloy ang pagdagsa ng mga sampan mulang Amoy, habang ang mga galeón naman ng Espanyol ay pumasok doon sa Canton ngunit hindi sa Amoy. Nang makapasok ang barkong Hapones sa Filipinas, ang biyahe mulang Amoy tungong Filipinas ay halos tatlong araw lamang. According to Allan Wickberg's research, the colonial government began sending galleons to China in 1758, instead of waiting for sampans from China. At that time, Spanish galleons were not allowed to sail to China. Manila was also opened in 1789 to non-Spanish European ships laden with supplies from Asia. That was the beginning of the acceleration of Philippine trade with the arrival of sampans from Amoy and Chuanchou to Fukien. Sampans continued to flow from Amoy, while Spanish galleons entered Canton but not Amoy. When the Japanese ship entered the Philippines, the trip from Amoy to the Philippines was only about three days. See also tl amoy Anagrams tl amoy Mayo yamo maoy tl Languages
