TSINANFU
Tsinanfu is connected by rail with Tsingtau (Kiaocbau), distance 220 miles, Tientsin
200 miles, and with Pukow on the Yangtse. It is also connected by canal with Yang
Chiao Kou, on the Gulf of Chihli, distance 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 eighty
miles higher up. This trade is almost, if not quite, entirely with the south, to Chining-
chou 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-tio Hsien, distant sixteen miles. Since the opening of the
bridge oyer the Yellow River at Lokow through communication has been established
on the Tsin Pu Railway from Tientsin to Pukow via Tsinan.
Tsinan is the headquarters of the fifth division of the Chinese army, whose camp is
a few miles south-west of the town. There has been an arsenal since 1874, north of the
town, near Lok’ou on the Yellow River. There is also a military college. The
whole city is now lighted by electricity. Great activity has recently been evinced in
building colleges and schools and among the interesting institutions of the town the
Museum established by the English Baptist Mission should not be overlooked. The
sacred mountain of China, T’ai Shan (5,100ft.), is distant some 35 miles (60 by road) to
the south. Kiifu, the birthplace and the tomb of Confucius, and the residence of the
Confucian duke, are about 100 miles away in the same direction. The control of the
Settlement is vested in a Bureau whose members are appointed by the Governor of
the province.
