Niu-chwang
口營 Ying-kou
(JAPANESE: Eikō)
Newchwang, in latitude 40 deg. 37 min. 37 sec. N., longitude 122 deg. 10 min. 23 sec. E., or 38 miles from the Newchwang Lightship was opened to foreign trade in May, 1864, and was for more than 40 years the only Treaty port in Manchuria, now known as Manchoukuo, which comprises the four Pro- vinces formerly known as Fengtien, Kirin, Heilungkiang and Jehol Man- churia was commonly called by the Chinese the "Tung San Sheng," or the Three Eastern Provinces. Manchoukuo is now divided into the 14 provinces of Heiho, Lungkiang, Sankiang, Pinkiang, Chientao, Kirin, Fengtien, Antung, Chinchow, Jehol, and North, South, East and West Hsingan. Newchwang is situated in the south of Fengtien province and lies about 13 miles from the mouth of the Liao River, which empties into the Gulf of Liaotung, a continuation of the Gulf of Pohai. The proper name of the port is Yingkou, and not Newchwang, which IS actually situated 90 li (30 miles) further up the river. The old town of Newchwang was designed by Treaty to be opened to trade, but the first foreigners, finding Yingkow more conveniently situated and more adapted in very respect for the purposes of trade, quietly installed themselves there and got over the difficulty by the simple process of changing the name of Yingkow into that of New- chwang.
The country in the immediate vicinity of the port is flat and unpictures- que in the extreme, and the town itself has nothing in the way of attractions for the traveller. The climate, from the foreigner's point of view, is one of the best in China, the summers being comparatively cool, while the winters are cold and bracing. The hottest summer temperature rarely exceeds 90° (Fahr but cold blasts from the North pull down the "mercury" in winter months often to 6 and 10° below zero (Fahr.). The river is generally frozen
