PEI-TAI-HO AND CHINGWANGTAO
Chmwangtao, which owes its existence as a seaport to the Chinese Engineering
and Mining Company, Ltd. (now amalgamated with a Chinese Mining Company under
i6T ■ ‘lem^ai'an Mining Administration), is situated on the western coast of the
Gulf ot Liao Tung, and is distant about 10 miles W.S.W. of Shanhaikwan. It is the
natural distributing centre for the north-west part of the province of Chihli. The
breakwater and pier which form the harbour are so constructed that vessels may lie
alongside at any state of the tide and in all weathers, and discharge or load direct on to and
from railway cars, so that a minimum of handling, and, consequently, of loss, is ensured.
There are seven berths five at the breakwater, and one on each side of the pier—and
the railway tracks are so arranged that loading and discharging can be proceeded with
independently at each berth. The main berths have 23 feet of water at low
