Dairen (Dalny), the Southern terminus of the South Manchuria Railway, which connects with the Siberian system of Russian railways, is a commercial port in the Southern corner of the Liaotung Peninsula, Lat 38° 55′ 44′′ N. and Long. 121° 37' 7' E
When Russia leased the place in 1898, it was only a small village. With remarkable push and energy the Russians laid out and built up in less than three years one of the finest towns in the Far East, with cathedrals and mansions, parks and roads, wharves and warehouses. Almost at the outset of the late war the town was occupied by the Japanese army and served as the principal base of supply. The climate being temperate, and sanitary arrangements such as drainage, waterworks, etc., being rapidly completed, the health of the locality is exceptionally good. The hottest temperature registered in summer is 30° C. (86°F.), and the cold winter season is short and invigorating.
Being the terminus of the railway the port is designed to accommodate the largest ocean steamers alongside the granite wharves, which have a vertical face with 28 feet depth at low water and a length of 3,150 lineal feet.
There are likewise other wharves of concrete blocks faced with granite to accommodate ships of various draughts up to 22 feet, these being in length 3,920 lin. feet. wharves is 350 feet wide, and the railway lines are brought right alongside the ship-
