PEI-TAI-HO AND CHINWANGTAO
The harbour and the large coal storage yards areexceptionally well lighted by electricity, and work proceeds by night as well as by day throughout the year.
Good fresh water from the Tongho River may be obtained from hydrauts on the Breakwater and Pier.
The Port of Chinwangtao, unlike Tongku, Tientsin, and other ports in the neigh- bourhood, is accessible throughout the year. While Tientsin is ice-bound, the sea- borne trade of that city and of the territory which it serves passes via Chinwangtao. As a trade distributing centre, its position as an open port on the main line of the Peking-Mukden Railway gives it a great advantage.
As a seaside health resort Chinwangtao is almost without rival in China. It is easily accessible, has a dry and bracing climate, offers safe bathing from a sandy beach, has good golf links, and is situated amidst magnificent mountain scenery, while a hotel under experienced management and numerous summer bungalows afford the visitor every comfort.
The Administration owns large areas of land in the vicinity of the port. A good harbour, good water, electric light, and cheap coal offer exceptional inducements. for industrial enterprises, and it is expected that there will be a great development in this direction in the near future.
The great increase of trade year by year has induced the Chinese Maritime Customs to erect a fine Customs house at Chinwangtao, with a deputy commissioner in charge, and to open a Hai Kwan Bank for the convenience of local consignees. The total value of the trade for 1922 was Hk. Tls. 16.265,506, as compared with Hk. Tls. 22 447,055 in 1921, Hk. Tls. 17,180,516 in 1920, Hk. Tls. 15,700,440 in 1919, and Hk. Tls. 12,234,400 in 1918. The total number of vessels entered and cleared during 1922 was 1,396 with a total tonnage of 2,096,336.
