A Chinese Custom House was accordingly opened here on 1st January 1910, but was made subordinate to the Hunchun (zh 琿春) Customs.² It remained in this subordinate position till July 1924 when the head office was transferred to Lungchingtsun,³ while Hunchun—at which in accordance with the Manchurian Convention of 1905 a Custom House had been opened on 27th December 1909—fell into the position of a branch office. The reason for this deposition of Hunchun was the advent in 1923 of the T’ien T’u (zh 天圖) light railway which running through Lungchingtsun to Yen Chi Fu (zh 延吉府) connected both places with the frontier district of Kaishantun, and thence through Kainei (Hui Ning zh 會甯) to the Corean port of Seishin. en 1938 December Government-General of Tyosen, Keizyo GENERAL REMARKS Foreign Affairs Department Annual report on Administration of Tyosen, 1937–38 https://archive.org/details/annualreportonad0000kore/ Tokyo Toppan Printing Co., Ltd. 47006756 33 https://archive.org/details/annualreportonad0000kore/page/33/ Seisin 330 miles from Gensan, is an important port and the commercial centre of North Tyosen.Now that the railway from Kainei to Tunwha is completed thus making connection with Kirin and Hsinking on the South Manchuria Railway, Seisin may look forward to a considerable increase in shipping.

Thus beside Kenjiho, which for twenty years was the only center of production of pig iron and steel (Mitsubishi, later Nippon Seitetsu), several other centers of production have presumably begun operation, of which the most important is Seishin (a port, about 60 miles from the Russian frontier). en August 13, 1945 RUSSIAN FLEET LANDS MARINES; TAKES 2 PORTS w:Chicago Daily Tribune https://archive.org/details/per_chicago-daily-tribune_1945-08-13_104_193/ CIV 103 1085-6706 7960243 3 https://archive.org/details/per_chicago-daily-tribune_1945-08-13_104_193/page/n2/ 2 Ships and aircraft of the soviet fleet destroyed two Japanese minelayers and 14 transports in forays supporting the landings, Moscow said, and at the same time the port of Seishin, 36 miles southwest of Rashin, was endangered by the advance of soviet troops on the Asiatic mainland.The soviet bulletin said Marshal Kirill A. Meretskov's First Far Eastern army, in a 22-mile advance in Manchuria, had captured the rail town of Hunchun, 37 miles north of Yuki. This swift soviet advance imperiled the junction city of Tumen, 27 miles to the west, which controls the rail routes from central Manchuria to Seishin port. References
