LUNGKOW
口龍
Lungkow, which was declared a trading port in November, 1914, but was not formally opened until 1st November, 1915, is about 60 miles due west of Chefoo, on the west coast of the Shantung promontory. It lies about 100 miles south-west of the Japanese port, Dairen. Newchwang and Tientsin are each about 200 miles distant from Lungkow.
The port is well sheltered by the Chiriutao Peninsula. There is a narrow channel which admits of steamers of 12 feet draft anchoring within a few hundred yards from the shore: otherwise the port is shallow with a sand bar stretching out for a considerable distance. The harbour of Lungkow (Dragon's Mouth) is seven miles wide at the entrance, and has a sand bar which forms a break water for five miles across the opening. The inner harbour has a low-water mark of from 11 to 13 feet and storms seldom disturb the shipping inside. It is not to be expected that the Chinese Government will, for many years at least, undertake extensive harbour improvements at Lungkow, and without extensive harbour improvements Lungkow cannot accommodate more than two or three vessels of 12 feet draft at one time at anything like reasonable distance from the shore. Until such time as recognition of its favourable geographical situation forces the bestowal of increased communications. together with harbour improvements similar to those at Chefoo, any increase of trade will be slow and must come from an increase in exports and a gradual elevation of the scale of living with an attendant increase in imports. A jetty at the proposed New Settlement has been completed. A light push-cart railway has been built, extending from the present town to the jetty, and it is proposed to use this railway to transport goods from the godowns located in the present town to the jetty.
The town of Lungkow has a population of about 4,000. It is estimated that within a radius of about five miles of Lungkow there is a population of 65,000. A level stretch of country behind Lungkow, thickly populated and very fertile, gives promise of the port some day assuming considerable importance. The proposed Chefoo-Weihsien Railway would connect Lungkow with both Chefoo and Weihsien, thus with north and central Shantung.
