LUNGKOW

龍

Lungkow, a sub-station under the Chefoo Customs Commissioner, was de- clared a trading port in November, 1914, but was not formally opened until 1st November, 1915. It is about 60 miles due west of Chefoo, on the west coast of the Shantung promontory. It lies about 100 miles south-west of the Japanese port, Dairen, and is the nearest port to the rich Manchurian provinces. Newchwang and Tientsin are each about 200 miles distant from Lungkow.

The port is well sheltered by the Chimatao Peninsula, and is the most northern one in China proper open to the sea throughout the year, though the Harbour is some- times partly frozen over, greatly handicapping the movements of the clumsy cargo boats. This generally happens in January. The harbour of Lungkow (Dragon's Mouth) is seven miles wide at the entrance, and has a sand bar which forms a break- water for five miles across the opening. The inner harbour has a low-water mark of from 11 to 13 feet and storms seldom disturb the shipping inside. It is not to be expected that the Chinese Government will, for many years at least, undertake extensive harbour improvements at Lungkow; but, as it is, the inner harbour has accommodation for a great deal of shipping and, as its bottom is of clay, not sand, a considerable increase in the depth of water available is expected to be brought about by dredging operations. Until such time as recognition of its favourable geographical situation forces the bestowal of increased communications, together with harbour improvements similar to those at Chefoo, any increase of trade will be slow and* must come from an increase in exports and a gradual elevation of the scale of living with an attendant increase ir imports. A handsome new reinforced concrete pier at the New Settlement has been completed, but has never been used and the roads
