Bocca Tigris was the entrance to Canton, China's only trading city, and ships would stop there to receive the mandarin's seal before continuing.The strait is characterized by forts that form the "teeth" of the "tiger's mouth", and the channel between the Wantong and Annanghoy sides is only 750 yards wide.The estuary is regularly dredged to keep it open for ocean vessels.
