SOUTH MANCHURIA RAILWAY.
IMPORTANT SECTION IN THE
OVERLAND ROUTE
NO
BETWEEN THE FAR EAST
AND EUROPE.
SAVE TIME AND MONEY—The Quickest, Cheapest, and Safest Route between the Far East and Europe is via Manchuria and Siberia. The South Manchuria Railway Company's Express Trains are equal to the best in Europe and America, and are timed to connect with other Express Trains and Steamers in the London Shanghai Route and the Tokyo Peking Route Sleeping Cars and Dining Cars are attached to several of the Ordinary Daily Trains
HOW TO REACH EUROPE-Travellers from Hongkong should leave for Shanghai by the best steamer to make the connection with the S.M.K. Co.'s Shanghai- Dairen Mail Steamship Line. The "BAKAKI MARU” leaves Shanghai every TUES. DAY, at Nook, direct for Dairen, and connects with the S.M.R. Wookly Express. This steamer was specially built for the service, is turbine driven, equipped with wireless oelegraphy, luxuriously fitted, and carries a doctor on board. (The KORE MARU leaves Shangbai every FRIDAY, at Noon, and calls at Tsingtao en route for Dairen.) The Express which leaves Dairen every THURSDAY, connects with the Trans-Siberian Express at Changchun, and passengers arrive at Petrograd pine days Istor, the whole Journey from Hongkong to Fetrograd occupying only 18 days.
IMPORTANT TO TRAVELLERS AND TOURISTS. The S.M.B. Co, has established, under its direct management, a series of Yamato Hotels at Dairen....... (the Finest Hotel in the Far East), Hoshigaura, Port Arthur, Mulden, and Changchun. All on European lines. Cook's coupons accepted. Tel. Add. “Yamato."
HEALTH AND HOLIDAY RESORTS IN SOUTH MAN CHURIA,--South Manchuris's magnificent and bracing climate, beautiful scanery; great historic interest, old-world habits and custome, unsurpassed accommodation, and easy accessibility is fast popularizing it as the finest health and holiday resort in the Far East. Special seaside bungalow colonies have been established at Hoshiguara (Star Beach), near Dairen, under the management of the S.M.R. Co., and at Ogondai (Golden Beach), Port Arthur, under the management of the Port Arthur Civil Administration.
OF INTEREST TO SHIPPERS.—In addition to its Dairen-Tsingtao- Shanghai Mail Liners the B.M.K. Co. runs a fleet of Cargo Steamers between Dairan and Hongkong, calling at ports en route. Other Steamship Services have regular services to and from Dairen: Particulare may be obtained from the 8M.R. WHARY OFFICE, Dairen, and BRÁNGH Wḥary Offiöz, Shanghai.
BEST STEAMING COAL IN THE FAR EAST.-Large stocks of the S.M.R. Co. Coal from famous Fushan Collieries are always kept at Dairen, Port Arthur, Nawchwang (Yingkou), Tientsin, and Tsingtao Depota, and can also be obtained from Agencies in practically every port in the Far East.
