CHEFOO
S' £ Chi-fn J ‘(flj Yen-tai
Chefoo, in the Province of Shantung, is the name used by foreigners to denote
this Treaty Port; the Chinese name of the place is Yentai, and Chefoo proper is on
the opposite side of the harbour. Chefoo is situated in latitude 37° 33' 20" N. and longi¬
tude 121° 25' 02" E. The port was opened to foreign trade in 1863. The number of
foreigners on the books of the various Consulates is about 400, but more than
half of them—missionaries—live inland. Chefoo has no Settlement or Concessions
but a recognized Foreign Quarter, which is well kept and has good clean roads,
and is well lighted. An International Committee consisting of six foreigners
and six Chinese looks after the interests of the Foreign Quarter and derives
the revenue at its disposal from voluntary contributions by residents. The
natives are most orderly and civil to foreigners. There are two good hotels
and several excellent boarding - houses, all of which are full of visitors from
July to the end of September. The climate is bracing. The winter, which is
severe, lasts from the beginning of December to end of March ; April, May and
June are lovely months and not hot; -July and August are hot and rainy months;
and September, October and November form a most perfect autumn, with warm days,
cool winds and cold nights. Strong northerly gales are experienced in the late
autumn and through the winter, and the roadstead gives but an uncomfortable, though
safe, anchorage for steamers. In 1909, nearly two months were lost to trade through
stress of weather and the entire mercantile community appreciates the necessity for
proper harbour works, including a protecting breakwater and quay. Another
