What are the hongs at Canton? So glad you asked.

According to the Guangzhou Museum, the 13 hongs in Canton, also known as the Thirteen Factories, or Canton Factories, were institutions of the Qing government that specialized in foreign trade. They were semi-official and semi-commercial, and had the nature of monopolizing trade. They served as the Qing Dynasty’s sole trading port from 1757 to 1842.
