This village is situated at the mouth of the Pei-ho, on the southern bank of the river about 36 miles from Tientsin by water. The surrounding country is so flat and uninteresting that it is difficult for a stranger to detect the entrance to the river. Beyond the mouth of the river a large mud bank, clearly visible at low tide, stretches out to sea for some miles. It is through this bank and about 44 miles from the real mouth of the river that the bar extends with a width of 150 feet.
