Lungkow, a sub-station under the Chefoo Customs Commissioner," was declared 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.

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 breakwater for five miles across the open- ing. The inner harbour has a low-water mark of from 11 to 14 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 im- provements 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 con- siderable increase in the depth of water available could probably be brought about by dredging operations. Until such time as recognition of its favourable
