This port is situated on the northern side of the Shantung Promontory, 40 miles east of the Treaty port of Chefoo. The harbour is commodious, and affords good holding ground. It is the chief rendezvous of the Pei Yang Squadron. On Lu Kung Tao, an island sheltering the harbour on the northern side, are a Gunnery School, Naval College, Naval Yard (where minor repairs are executed), Naval Hospital, and other government establishments. The port is well defended by numerous batteries mounting English and Krupp B. L. guns of heavy calibre.

SHANGHAI
The most northerly of the five ports opened to foreign trade by the British Treaty of Nanking is situate at the extreme south-east corner of the province of Kiang-su, in latitude 31.15 north and longitude 121.29 east of Greenwich, at the junction of the rivers Hwang-po and Woosung (the latter called by foreigners the Soochow Creek), about twelve miles above the village of Woosung, where their united waters debouch into the estuary of the Yangtsze. The soil is alluvial and the country perfectly flat, the nearest eminence that can be called a hill being distant about nineteen miles. The river opposite the city and foreign settlements, once a narrow canal, was, some eighteen years ago, 1,800 feet broad at low water, but has been rapidly narrowing till it is now only 1,200 feet. The Soochow Creek, which was, judging by old records, at one time at least three miles across, has now a breadth of less than a hundred yards
