A new hospital has recently been constructed on a large scale, accommodating over 500 patients. This will be one of the finest and most up-to-date hospitals in the Far East.

A direct steamship service is maintained twice a week by the South Manchuria Railway Company between Dairen and Shanghai, one outward bound steamer and one homeward bound steamer calling at Tsingtao each week, by which means communication is obtained between Shanghai and the trans-Siberian route to Europe. Regular and "half regular" steamship services are maintained to and from all the important ports of Japan, U.S.A., China and Chosen (Korea). Shanghai can be reached in 42 hours, Chemulpo in 24 hours, and Moji and Nagasaki in about 50 hours.

For 1919 the trade of Dairen (imports and exports by steamers and junks) amounted to Hk. Tls. 232,388,043, viz., 4,402,840 tons. The imports were 1,512,301 tons valued at Hk. Tls. 127,377,176; and the exports, 2,890,539 tons valued at Hk. Tls. 105,010,867. According to the census taken in August, 1920, the Japanese population of the town and suburbs was 262,388 persons in 43,000 houses. Chinese numbered 196,686 in about 30,000 houses, and other nationals totalled 207.
