NEWCHWANG

莊牛Niu-chwang

口營 Ying-cou

Newchwang, in latitude 40 deg. 37 min. 37 sec. N., longitude 122 deg. 10 min. 23 sec. E., or 38 miles from the Newchwang Lightship was opened to foreign trade in May, 1864, and was for more than 40 years the only Treaty port in Manchuria. Manchuria comprises the three Provinces of Fêngtien, Kirin and Heilungchiang, and is commonly called by the Chinese the "Tung San Shêng," or the Three Eastern Provinces. New- chwang is situated in the most southern of these three provinces-Fêngtien, also known as Liao Ning-and lies about 13 miles from the mouth of the Liao River, which empties into the Gulf of Liaotung, a continuation of the Gulf of Pechili. The proper name of the port is Yingkou, and not Newchwang, which is situated 90 li (30 miles) further up the river. The old town of Newchwang was designated by Treaty to be opened to trade, but the first foreigners, finding Yingkow more oonveniently situated and more adapted in every respect for the purposes of trade, quietly installed themselves there and got over the difficulty by the simple process of changing the name of Yingkow into that of Newchwang!
