Tsinan is connected by rail with Tsingtao (Kiaochau), distant 280 miles, Tientsin 200 miles, and with Pukow on the Yangtsze. It is also connected by canal and river with Yang Chiao Kou, on the Gulf of

the Gulf of Chihli, distant 146 miles, whence there are occasional steamers to Chefoo. Tsinan stands five miles south of the Huang-ho or Yellow River, and in spite of some difficulties of navigation there is a considerable junk traffic, between its river port of Lo-kou and the Grand Canal, which enters the river 80 miles higher up. This trade is almost, if not quite, entirely with the south, to Chiningchou and beyond, since the canal from the Huangho northward to Lin-ching-chou has been unnavigable for several years. The high road from Tsinan to the north crosses the Huang-ho by ferry at Chi-ho Hsien, distant 16 miles. Since the opening of the bridge over the Yellow River at Lokow through communica- tion has been established on the Tsin Pu Railway from Tientsin to. Pukow via Tsinan.

Tsinan came under the Nationalist régime on May 1st, 1928, when the Shantung-Chihli troops under Chang Tsung-ch'ang were driven out in the course of the Southern advance on Peking. There has been an arsenal since 1874, north of the town, near Lok'ou on the Yellow River. There is a military college. The wholly city is now lighted by electricity. Great activity has recently been evinced in building colleges and schools, and among the in- teresting institutions of the town the Tsinan Institute, situated in, and connected with, the Shantung Christian University is a remarkable and very interesting establishment. that should not be overlooked. The sacred moun- tain of China, Tai Shan (5,100 feet), is distant some 35 miles (60 by road) to the south. Küfu, the birthplace and the tomb of Confucius, and the residence of the Confucian duke, are about 100 miles away in the same dir- tion.
