TSINANFU
between its river port of Lo-kou and the Grand Canal, which enters the river eighty miles higher up. This trade is almost, if not quite, entirely with the south, to Chining chou and beyond, since the canal from the Huangho northward to Lin-ching-chou has been unnavigable for several years. The high road from Tsinan to the north crosses the Huang-ho by ferry at Chi-ho Hsien, distant sixteen miles. Since the opening of the bridge over the Yellow River at Lokow through communication has been established on the Tsin Pu Railway from Tientsin to Pukow via Tsinan.
Tsinan is the headquarters of the fifth division of the Chinese army, whose camp is .a few miles south-west of the town. There has been an arsenal since 1874, north of the town, near Lok'ou on the Yellow River. There is also a military college. The whole city is now lighted by electricity. Great activity has recently been evinced in build- ing colleges and schools, and among the interesting institutions of the town the Museum established by the English Baptist Mission should not be overlooked. The sacred mountain of China, T'ai Shan (5,100ft.), is distant some 35 miles (60 by road) to the south. Küfu, the birthplace and the tomb of Confucius, and the residence of the Confucian duke, are about 100 miles away in the same direction. The control of the Settlement is vested in a Bureau whose members are appointed by the Governor of the province.
