PEI-TAI-HO AND CHINGWANGTAO

Chinwangtao, which owes its existence as a seaport to the Chinese Engineering and Mining Company, Ltd. (now amalgamated with a Chinese Mining Company under the title, The Kailan Mining Administration), is situated on the western coast of the Gulf of Liao Tung, and is distant about 10 miles W.S.W. of Shanhaik wan. It is the natural distributing centre for the north-west part of the province of Chihli. The breakwater and pier which form the harbour are so constructed that vessels may lie alongside at any state of the tide and in all weathers, and discharge or load direct on to and from railway cars, so that a minimum of handling, and, consequently, of loss, is ensured. There are seven berths-five at the breakwater, and one on each side of the pier—and the railway tracks are so arranged that loading and discharging can be proceeded with independently at each berth. The main berths have 23 feet of water at low
