NINGPO and WUHU are easy to research, but AGODA ANCH, not so much.
I have never solved that mystery. It may have a "P" as the first letter, but, in my opinion, I do not think there is room to fit it in the circle.

Suggestion: PAGODA ANCHORAGE (FOOCHOW)
'Pagoda anchorage, Foo Chow (Tea district)' [Fuzhou, China] No. 29 of 51 (PAJ2051 - PAJ2101): inscribed by the artist on the album page, as title, with the date '12/68'. This celebrated anchorage, off Pagoda Island in the Min River, was at Mawei, about 12 miles east of Foochow and above the Min river narrows to the north-east. Though considered the cradle of Chinese seafaring it was only frequented by Western shipping as China began to open up in the 1840s, and became famous from 1866 with the first of the great annual tea races to London. Sixteen clippers loaded there that year, sailing in late May and early June on the 16,000 mile voyage: 99 days later, the 'Taeping' reached Gravesend first, followed by the 'Ariel' and the 'Serica'. The octagonal Luoxing (Falling Star) Pagoda was built of granite under the https://www.rmg.co.uk/collections/o...bject-269333 |

Strangely, I solved it by searching, "China Postmark Anch" "Pagoda" offered nothing of use  |
