Along most of these rivers the population is dense and production abundant. (40, No. 30050 1956, p. 7) Inland waterways in China have a combined length of more than 320,000 km, of which 100,000 km are navigable, including about 30,000 km for steam vessels. The most important waterways beginning at the north are the Hei-lung-chiang (Amur) and Sung-hua-chiang rungari), the Hai-ho (Hai River), Huang-ho (Yellow River), Huai-ho Huai River), Chlang-chiang (Yang-tzu), the Ta-yun-ho (Grand Canal), Tung-tling-hu (Tung-t'ing Lake), Po-yang-hu (Po-yang Lake), and the Yueh-chiang (Yueh River) system including Hsi$.1ohiang (West River) and Chu-chiang (Pearl River). (30, No. 7? 1956, p. 29) The southwest has a lack of navigable rivers, (37) Most of China's rivers have abundant water and deep channels and do not freeze the year round, except rivers in the northern regions and parts of the central regions. (30, No. 7, 1956, p. 29) Marked changes of depth in the rainy and dry seasons, however, do affect shipping. (6, p. 85) Such seasonal changes of level run from 12 to 38 ft at ports along the lower Chlang-chiang and are one reason why Chinese river ports seldom have permanent wharves, but use pontoon landings Instead, Stone river embankments are cut with long flights of steps in order to reach moored vessels at low water. (22) The combined length of major inland steamer routes in China is 15,000 km, on which operate 2,618 power-driven ships with a total tonnage of 1,017,243. Routes and ports are maintained by 90 service steamers /probably including dredges and salvage vessels,/ totaling 19,849 tons.(20 ppo chi* 310 32) A later Chinese source gives 30,000 km as the total length of inland steamer routes, (29) The ratio of freight carried by the chief mechanical means of transpor- tation in China is shown in the table below. It does not give the total picture, however, since it excludes transportation by junks, carts and coolies, (5, D. 73) 195'T fplan) Rail 93.2 86.5 84.0 81.4 80.5 River* 3.9 502 7.1 8.6 10.3 Marine* 2.0 7.3 7.3 8.1 7.1 Highway** 0,9 1.0 1.6 1.9 2.1 *Excluding freight carried by junks **Excluding freight carried by carts and coolies *Chi is a Chinese alphabetical section of the book, NOTE: THIS DOCUMENT CONTAINS INFORMATION AFFECTING THE NATIONAL DEFENSE OF THE UNITED STATES WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE ESPIONAGE ACT. 50 U S.

Passenger traffic is planned to rise 93.8% and total 56,040,000 persons; the goal is 3,4080000,000 passenger/kilometers, a rise of 78.7%. The volume of freight carried almost trebled in the first 3 years of the first Five- year Plan, 1953-55. (5, p. 83) The combined length of major inland junk routes in China Is, 60,000 km, double that af steamer and barge routes. (2, pp. chi 31, 32) Accord ing to incomplete statistics, China's junks numbered over 294,000 in 1954 with a combined capacity of over 3,100,000 t. In 1954 junks carried 85% of all local freight on inland waterways, or about 70% of that year's total freight turnover. (29) In East China, comprising Shan-tung, Chiang-sus Che.chiang, Fu-chien and An-hui Provinces, all types of transportation routes total over 40,000 km, averaging 5.7 km per 100 sq km of land area. Waterways in this region average 2.8 km per 100 sq km, highways 2.3 km and railroad 0.6 km. These figures considerably exceed the average for each type of transportation in China as a whole. (6, pp. )4, 246) East China's inland waterways total 19,200 km even without including certain routes for which data is not available, and carry more freigkt than either railroads or highways. (62 ppo 246, 247) . Freight moved on China's rivers increased from 4,504,000 t in 1950 to 28,0500000 t in 1955. In 1954 some 20,476,000 t were moved, of which 8,6340000 or 42% moved on two rivers, the Chlang-chiang and Sung-hua-chiang. The freight turnover by inland waterway rose from 1,677,000,000 t/km in 1950 to 10,800,0000000 t/km in 1955. By 1954 it totaled 7,891,000,000 t/km, of which 5,505,000,000 t/km or 69% was handled on the same two river systems. (51 p. 8)4) In 1952 private steamers carried 31.2% of the total freight volume for powered vessels In 1954 nationalized corporations carried 69% of the total freight by sea and river while joint state-private organizations handled 22.2% an private carriers 8.8%. By 1956 more than 130 private steamship lines had been reorganized into joint state-private corporations.

(23, pp. )4.5) Figs. 1 & 2 1. The Hei-lung-chiang is 4,500 km long (10, p. 282) and forms a long stretch of the Sino-Soviet border* It drains a large area with its !principal southern tributaries the 0-erh-ku-na-ho (Argun River), Sung-hua-chiang with Nen-chiang, and the Wu-su-1i-ho, and event- ually falls into the Okhotsk Sea, (7, p* 104) The Hei-ling-chi is navigable for steamers from its mouth to Mo-ho (53 28N 122 17E Hei-lung-chaing Prov., a distance of 3,000 km. This course is divided into three sections: 1. the upper reaches from Mo-ho to Hei-ho (50 16N 127 28E), Hei-lung-chiang Prov., plied in the summer by vessels drawing 1 m; 2, the middle section from Hei-ho to Fu-yuan (48 21N 134 18E), Hei-lung-chiang Prov., at the mouth of the Wu-su-li-ho, navigable for vessels of 2-m draft. 3. The lower reaches are on USSR territory. (10, p. 282) An official Chinese source of 1950 gives Mo-ho as the first upper transshipment point on the Hei-lung-chiang, and the distance from there to the last transshipment point Fu-yuan at the mouth of the Wu-su'1i'ho as 2,381 km. This then is the navigable length for steam vessels in Chinese territory? (2, p. chi 32) The navigation season lasts only 5 months on the Hei-lung-chiang. (104 pm 282) Fu-yuan (48 21N, 134 18E), Hei-lung-chiang Prov? is at the conflu- ence of the Hei-lung-chl and Wu-su-li-ho, (10, p. 259) Small steamers can operate up to Hu-lin (45 58N 133 38E), Chi-lin Provo, on the Wu-su-1i-ho. Junks go up farther to Lake Hsing-klai or Khanka (Hanka). The navigation season lasts 5 to 6 months, but water traffic is not very active be- cause the region is very sparsely settled, (10, p. 282) Hu-lin, (other names: Nu-tiou? Tawrita-ktou\or I-man*) derives its name' from HU-li-kai-ohiang? an old Chinese name for the Wu-su-1i-ho. It is a county seat with little industry. (7, p* 222) Ttung-chiang (47 40N 132 30E), Hei-lung.ohiang, Prove, at the confluence of Hei-lung-chiang and Sung-huo-oblong, is an important junction of water traffic between China and the Soviet Union.

(10, p. 291) Lumber is floated here from the Hsiao Vaesser) Haing-an Mts. to be shipped to other regions. (10, p. 268 Hei-ho, Hei-ho-tlun or Ta-hei-ho, opposite the Soviet city of Blagoveshchensk (7, p. 26), is expanding rapidly as a transshipment center for Sino-Soviet trade. (10, p. 291) New wharves have been built since 1949. (30, p. 31) A Chinese railroad runs up from Pei-an, and the Soviet port across the river is connected with the Trans-Siberian Railroad by a branch line. (1, Map 26) Chief ex- ports are soy beans, oil, oil cake, peanuts, and pig iron. (10, p. 278) Lumber from the Hslao (Lesser) Hsing-an Mts., which have one fourth of the forests in Northeast China, is sent to Hei;o.ho for shipment. (100 p. 268) Imports are mostly cotton fabrics and consumer goods. (10, pp. 277-278) (Fig. 4) According to a 1948 source, Hei-ho has a small ship-repair yard. (130 p. 229) and recently became the administrative center of Ai-hun County. (10, p. 291) The 0-erh-ku-na-ho, tributary to the Hei-lung-chiang, is the only river navigable for steamers in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. (7, p. 28) 2. The Sung-hua-chiang is particularly important, because it traverses the North Manchurian Plain, a region densely populated, economicall developed, and crossed by trunk railroads, (13, p. 155) It carries the second highest volume of freight of all Chinese rivers. (50 p. 84) The navigation season lasts only about 6 months, since the river is usually frozen over from the beginning of November to the middle of April, offering a good sledge track in\t.he winter. (10, p. 282) The Sung.hua-'Chiafl is 1,870 km long (7, p. 105), 565 km from the source to Chi-lin 43 51N 126 33E), Chi-lin Prov., 640 km from Chi-lin to Ha-erh-pin or Harbin (45 45N 126 39E), Chi-lin Provo, . (30, p. 31), and 696 km from Ha-erh-pin to its mouth. (2,p. chi :;2) Another source gives the total length of the river as over 2,000 km some 700 km of which are through lowlands between Chi-lin and Ha-erh-pin. Here the river, with sandy, gravel or clay banks and bottom, frequently changes its thalweg (120 p. 230), most markedly at the highest water level during the summer, which is the rainy season here. At this time the river, ordinarily a few hundred meters wide, floods to a width of many kilometers. The differeqee between highwater and the normal water level varies from 4 .tip current velocity is frolir006 to 1.2 m/sec. The river is mostly shallow; shoals and the above-mentioned Changes in the thalweg complicate navigation. (12, p. 231) INMSOMMS11111111.1.101.101Millonno.

The Sung-hua-chiang is navigable for steamers from its mouth to Chi-lin, almost 1,300 km, and junks travel 250 km above that point,. 1 13, p. 159 Another source &Wes the navigable length as 1,400 1614 10, p. 282 During the entire navigation season in wet years, and or three quarters thereof in dry years, the Sung-hua-chiang is navigable above the mouth of the Nen-chiang to Chi-lin for steamers drawing '4 and even 5 feet. (25, p. 384) Another source states that at high and medium water steamers drawing up to 60 cm go up to Chi-lin, the terminus of regular navigation. (12, p. 231) In years of exceptionally low water only steamers drawing 2 1/2 ft can operate for a short period. (25, p? 38)4) The most important navigable tributaries of the Sung-hua-chiang are the Nen-chiang, navigable for steamers up to Chli-ch'i-ha-erh (47 22N 123 57E) and the Hu-lan-ho (130 p. 156), navigable up to Hu-lan (45 59N 126 369, both in Hei-lung-chiang Province. (13, p. 156; 25, p. 384 Shipping routes of the entire Sung-hua-chiang system total over 2,900 km, of which 1,800 km are navigable for steamers. This is over 60% of all inland waterways in Northeast China, excluding the border rivers Hei-lung-chiang, Wu-su-1i.ho and 0-erh-ku-na-ho. (13, p. 156) All steam shipping on the Sung-hua-chiang has been nationalized. (30, P. 31) In the summer the Sung-hua-chiangand Nen-chiang are the main transportation arteries in the North Manchurian plain. Small steamers ply the SUng-hua-chiang between Chi-lin and T'ao-lai-chao* (44 51N 125 54E), Chi-lin Province. Navigation is complicated from that port down to Fu-yu (45 11N 12)4 49E) in Chi-lin Province because the I-tlung-ho and Yin-ma-ho join the river here, silt up its bed and cause frequent changes in its channel. This section has no vital importance for shipping. (10, p. 282) After its confluence with the Nen-chiang below Fu-yu, the Sung-hua-chiang is a large river (10, Po 282) over 1,000 in wide with depths varying from 6 to 12 in. (10, p. 259) The section below Ha-erh-pin is navigable for vessels of 300-t displacement and river traffic is lively here. (10, p. 282) According to another source, this stretch is navigable for vessels of 500-t dis- placement. (16, p. 228) The Sung-hua-chiang fleet owned by the North Manchuria River Transportation Bureau in 1942 operated 113 steamers, 130 lighters and 67 sailing junks ranging from 700 to 1,000 tons. Steamers on North Manchurian rivers are driven by paddle wheels at the sides of' stern and are fueled with Ho-kang coal or local wood. (24, p. 29) Shoals at I-lan or San-hsing (46 19N 129 34E), Chi-lin Prov., complicate navigation between Ha-erh-pin and the river's mouth. At highwaters ships of 2,000 to 3,0004 dipplacement may sail the . Sung-hua-chiang between Chia-mu-ssu (46 50ii 130 21E), Hei-lung-chiang Prov., and the sea.

It is an portant transshipment center because five railroad lines converge here (7, po 220; 41, 14 Aug 56, quoted source), from Sui-hua on the W, Mu-tan-chiang (4)4 35N 129 36E), Hei-lung-chiang Prov., on the SI from Fu-chin on the NE (41, 1)4 Aug 64), and the *short lines to large coal mines at Ho-kang (Hao-li) (47 05N 130 20E), and Shuang-yai-shan (46 37N 131 36E1 all in Hei-lung-ohiang Province (7, p. 220; 16, pe 228). The latter line runs 50 miles east from Chia-mu-88U to the Shuang-ya-shan coal mines, which have been rapidly developed since the end of World War II, but were known as Chien-shan until 1954. (16, p, 228) Part of Chia-mu-ssuls significance is due to the port across the river, Lien-chiang-klou (46 52N 130 18E), Hei-lung-chiang Provo, whence coal from the Ho-kang Mines is shipped to fuel Ha-erh-pin and the entire Sung-hua-chiang fleet. (13, pp. 223-224) New wharves were built at both Chia-mu-ssu and Lien-chiang-klou since 1949. (30, p. 31) Before the Japanese occupationoChia-mu-ssu shipped 130,000 tons a year, chiefly soy beans, (13, Po 224) Its chief trade is grain (15)0 which, together with.other agricultural and native product is transshipped here by rail to large cities in the south and for export. Coal and industrial products brought by rail are also transshipped here to river craft for distribution to the rural regions along the Sung-hua-chianG, according to a quoted source. (41, 14 Aug 56) Besides being the largest grain port on the entire river, Chia-mu-ssu is also the chief industrial center on the lower Sung-hua-chiang, with two flour mills, fur oil mills, a brickyard, tannery, sawmills and an electric power plant. Its population grew from 20,000 in 1931 to 1200 000 in 1945. (13, p. 224) A 1953 source gives the population as 160,000 (10,p. 290), whereas a 1955 source gives it as 90,000. (7, p. 30) Although on the bank of floods? Even the great I-lan 80 km upriver was the Sung-hua-chiang, the city is free from flood in 1932 did not touch it, while inundated.

The railway appointed several of its higher officials at the Chia-mu-ssu Station to the new agency, other organizations did likewise, and the various grain and food interests were represented* Rules were set up on handling cargos a joint agency was put on duty at the wharves to supervise transshipment. These measures raised efficiency; in Junes for instance, unloading and reloading time of railroad cars was.Dreduced 23.6% and that of steamers 14.8%0 (410 14 Aug 56) I-lan or San-hsing at the mouth of the Mu-tan-chiang on the Sung-hua-chiang is an old grain shipping center and the commercial and tyansportation link between the Sung-hua-chiang region and the densely populated Mu-tan-chiang basin. (7, p. 220; 15) It is one of the best equipped ports on the Sung-hua-chiang and handles all freight coming down the Mu-tan-chiang by junk from Ning-ku-tta or Ning-an (44 23N 129 26E), Chi-lin Province* Before the Zapanese occupied I-lan, it was a more active port than Chia-mu-ssuj bgt has lost out to the latter since railroads were built. (13, p* 225) (Fig. 9) A 1948 source gives the poi:14144)n of I-lan as over 30,000 (130 p. 225); a 1953 source .sets it "close to 200000" (100 p. 290) The port of Mu-tan-chiang (44 35N 129 36E), Hei-lung-chiang ,Prov., is where the railroad from Ha-erh-pin to Vladivostok :---crosses the Mu-tan-chiang. During the occupation the Japanese built the Ttu-men/Chia-mu-ssu Railroad through this city, whi then became a military center with several Japanese war industries. The city's population rose from 35,000 in 1931 to 179,000 by 1940 and 214,000 by the beginning of 1945. The city was seriously damaged by military action in the summer of 1945. (13, p* 215, 216) Much of its growth in the last 25 years is due to expanding freight turnover and transfer to rail of timber and agricultural products floated down the river from Ning-an (44 23N 129 26E) in Hei-lung-chiang Province* (7, pp. 194-195) Ning-an or Ning-ku-tta is on the left bank of the middle Mu-tan-chiang 29 km south of the crossing of the railroad which runs east from Ha-erh-pin. It is an ancient city with over 400000 population. (13, p. 215) The Hu-lan-ho, a northern tributary of the Sung-hua-chiang, is navigable only for shallow-draft steamers as far as the city of Hu-lan (45 59N 126 36E), Hei-lung-chiang Prove, a distance of approximately l0 miles* (25, p. 384) Hu-lan is the trade center of the Hu-lan-ho basin, through which agricultural products are shipped south to Ha-erh-pin and north to Hai-lun (47 27N 126 56E), Hei-lung-chiang Prove) the granary of northern Manchuria.

Ha-erh-pin (45 45N 126 39E), Chi-lin Provo, lies on the south bank of1,:the Sung-hua-chiang (100 po 289), 696 km from its mouth. (21 Po chi 32). During low water in November and December the river at Ha-erh-pin disoharges barely 1/10 its annual average and only 05 the average highwater discharge in August. The table appended shows the relation between river levels and precipitation at Ha-erh-pin. (7, pp. 106, 107) (Fig. 10) The main channel of the Sung-hua-chiang, originally ran far from th city's wharves, but was corrected by the construction of a dike on the opposite shore and a dredged channel along the wharves. (25, p. 384) In 1939 a huge levee was built to protect the city against floods. (21) These regulatory works were completed in 1942. (24, p. 24 ) (Fig? 11) Ha-erh-pin is the largest of the 31 ports on the Sung-hua-chiang (13, p: 156) and also the most important transshipment center in the Manchurian plain, with five railroads converging at its water- front? (7, p. 215; 1, Map 50) These railroads run north to Pei-an Hei-lung-chiang Prove, northwest to Man-chou-li, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, southwest to Chlang-ch'un? Chi-lin Prove, south to La-fa, Chi-lin Provo, and southeast to Sui-fen-ho, Hei-lung-chiang Province? (1, Map 50) Ha-erh-pin has the best equipped railroad junction in North Manchuria, with vast warehouses and auxiliary installiations. (13, pp. 197, 198) (Fig. 12) The largest shipping installation at Ha-erh-pin is Export Port, als called Bridge Section or Eight Railway Section*, due to its locatio at the railroad bridge across the Sung-hua-chiang. This shipping sectionlied between the Chinese section of Fu-chia-tien on the east and Tao-li (Landing) on the west. (13, p. 198; 21, p. 30) Export 'port has 1,420 in of mooring frontage, 15 berths, 11 storage installations of 2,200-t total capacity, 1 timber wharf and 2 wharves for coal and firewood. Railroad sidings to all wharves facilitate the transshigment of grain from river to rail and the handling of raw materials for local industries and their products. Most of the city's oil mills, six large flour mills, a brewery and many small enterprises are located in Sxport Port. (13, p. 198) Neighboring Fu-chia-tien is so densely settled that railroad sidings could hardly be laid here (13, p. 201)0 but its waterfront is lined with wharves (21, po 30), including one for passengers. (13, p. 198) San-klo-shu, much smaller than Export Port, is a third shipping section of the city. (13, p. 198) New wharves were built at Ha-erh-pin since 19490 (30, p. 31) Tao-li Section is commercial rather than industrial, with large ei;ores, offices and banks, one oil mill and four flour mills.

(13,p.201) A shipyard founded by the Chinese Eastern Railway, but neglected after the flood of 1932, built 10 fast steamers immediately after its reconstruction in 1942 by the North Manchuria River Transporta- tion Bureau. This government bureau also operated repair shops employing 800 to 1,200 workers in the early months of the year when vessels are laid up. (24, p. 29) Some 15 small foundries and machine shops are connected with the above enterprises. One of the city's electric power plants originally belonged to the above railroad works. (13, p. 200) Ha-erh-pin's trade extends far beyond the boundaries of Manchuria into Mongolia, Siberia and Europe. (10, p. 289) Main exports are soy beans, oil cake and bean oil; wheat, flour and other grains rank second. (13, p. 197) In 1931 over 1,100,000 t of freight, Licluding 50% to 60% grain, were ,shipped to Herh-pin chiefly to be transshipped by rail. Between 200,000 and 300,000 t of coal came here from the Ho-kang or Hao-li-kang Mines, north of Chia-mu-ssu, and large stocks of firewood from down river. Some 80% to 90% of all freight moved on the Sung-hua-chiang was shipped through Ha-erh-pin, (13, p. 198) In 1953 the city's population was recorded as 800,000 (10, p. 289)0 in 1956 as 1,200,000.

(10, p. 290) Served by railroadsdlrom Shen-yang, Fu-shun? Pen-ch'i (7, p. 195) and Korea (16, p. 220), An-tung is a lively trade and transporta- tion center. (7, p, 195) Grain is shipped here down the Ya-lu-chiang, also timber from the East Manchurian uplands for the city's sawmills and match factories. (7, pp. 195-196) This port is the largest lumber shipping center for the Ya-lu-chiang and Hun-chiang basins. (10, p* 268) The Shui-feng Hydroelectric Power Plat provides An-tung with power for its expanding industry (7, p* 196), which includes flour and soybean mills, besides its old silk (pongee) industry. (16, p. 220) An-tung is one of the largest oil mill centers in Northeast China (10, p. 277) and its most important port for export of peanuts and peanut oil, next to Ta-lien. (10, p. 264) The city has a population of 310,000.

The Liao-ho, over 1,300 km long (12, p. 201) or 1,200 miles accord- ing to another source (38) falls into the Liao-tun Gulf at Xing-10?u (40 40N 122 17E), Liao-ning Province. It pushes its estuary seaward, so that Xing-10?u is now over 16 km from the sea. (10, p. 260) The water level and width of the ship channel change with the seasons; deeps frequently become shoals from one year to the next. Mean depths of the ship channel in the lower and middle reaches are 1.3 in in the dry, and 3.5 m in the rainy season. (12, pp. 201, 202 203) The navigation season lasts 7.5 to 8 months on the lower reaches of the Lia-ho. Ice pans usually first appear toward the end of November and continue for 8 to 12 days before the river freezes over in the first part of December. The ice attains maximum thick- ness of 70 to 90 cm in January; the river is usually free from ice by the middle of April. (12, p. 203) Above Shuang-yuan (43 30N 123 29E), Liao-ning Prov., the Liao-ho is fordable. Below that city it becomes quite broad after re- ceiving two large tributaries from the left, the Hsin-ho and Tung-liao-ho0 The average width of the river between Liao-yuan and Trieh-ling (42 18N 123 )49E), Liao-ning Prov., is 180 to 250 m, but 350 to 400 m in places. It flows between steep loess banks here and has a silt bottom with depths of 1.5 to 200 m at low water? Current velocity is 0.3 to 0.5 m/sec at Tlieh-ling. Near Chu-liu-ho (42 03N 122 55E) and below Tfien-chuang-tlai (40 49N 122 06E), Liao-ning Prov., the river flows between low banks protected almost everywhere by dikes 3.5 to 4.0 in high? Maximum width on the lower reaches is 205 km at high tide, observed at Ho-pei Station (40 41N 122 12E) minimum width 450 m, observed above Ying-Wou. The river's average width is 800 to 900 m. (120 pp. 200, 201, 203) Navigation on the Liao-ho is complicated by many shoals in its winding course and by a large sandbar at its mouth. Depths average 105 to 2.0 m at Tlien-chuang-t'ai and 4.5 to 5.0 m at Xing-klou at low tide. Mean ebb tideAepthp1.,3 Shoals in the shallow Liao-tung Gulf also complicate .1.6 approach from the sea. Tides reach 40 km upstream from the estuary, with most of the shoals emerging at low tide, forming groups of islands in places. (12, pp. 200-204) Ying-k'ou, formerly Niu-chuang, lies in the estuary of the Liao-ho, on its left bank. (100 p. 288) Two thirds to three fourths of the Incoming freight comes from Chinese ports, although foreigh imports have risen in the last few years. Ying-ktou has developed into a distributing center for Chinese products in Manchuria. (12, p. 205; Its main exports are soy beans, bgan oil, wine, and other agricultural products.

(12, p, 203) The most detailed information available states that the wharves of the (former) South Manchurian Railway (including West Wharf) have a combined length of 3,600 ft, a freight handling capacity of 30,000 t, and can simultaneously berth 4 steamers of 2,000 to 3,000 t displacement. Tung-ying-Wou Hai-kuan (East Ying-Wou Custom House Wharf) and Hsi-ying-klou Ilai-kuan West Ying-klou Custom House Wharf are also mentioned. (26, p. 216) The Japanese had a small shipbuilding yard at Ying-klou (12, p.207), chiefly for small wooden ships. (13, p. 132) (Figs. 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29) Ying-kYou has two railroad connections. A branch of the Shen'-'yang/ 0APei-ching Railroad at Kou-pang-tzu (41 22N 121 46E), Liaoning Prov., terminates at Ho-pei on the right bank of the Liao-ho opposite Ying-klou.

It is the head of navigation for small steamers which do not draw more than 3 m. (10, p. 281) A regular steamer service is maintained to this point which is 110 km from the mouth of the Lia6-ho. (13, p. 157) Numerous junks sail the Liao-ho up to 500 or 600 km from its mouth. (12, p. 204) Grain is the chief freight downriver, consumer goods upriver. (104. p. 281) The Tlai-tzu-ho joins the Hun-ho at San-chla-k'ou (co-ordinaims unknown)* and later empties into the main stream of the Liao-ho. Another source shows HsiadTpel-ho (41 22N 122 50E), Liao-ning Prove, at the confluence of T'ai-tzu-ho and Hun-ho. (1, Map 24) The T'ai-tzu-h0 is navigable for about 170 miles; it is 1,200 ft wide at its widest and 350 ft at its narrowest point. The river is frozen over from the end of October to the beginning of March. (260 p. 238) Liao-yang (41 17N 123 11E) in Liao-ning Prov., is on the east bank of the Tlai-tzu-ho (260 p. 236) and junks run freely between here and Ying-Wou in depths ranging from 4 to 10 ft. The wharf is at Huang-chia-ling-tzu (co-ordinates unknown), east of the walled town of Liao-yang. At highwater small junks can sail 5 miles above the wharf, while smaller boats go up to Pen-ch'i-hu (41 20N 123 45E) and Wei-ning-ch'eng (41 22N 123 48E), both in Liaoning Provo, to bring down coal, charcoal and firewood. (26, p. 238) The Liao-yang region has long been known for the production of beans, kao-liang? bean cake, and distilled liquors. These products used to be transported by water to Ying-klcya, but now go chiefly by rail to Ta-lien and Ying-klou. The city of Liao-yang, with Pei-kuan and Hai-kuan outside its walls, has a population of 35,000. (26, p. 237) Tlieh-ling on the Liao-ho is on the Ch'ang-ch'un/Ta-lien Railroad and has its landing at Ma-feng-klou (co-ordinates unknown) on a bend Ofthe Liao-ho, about 2.5 mi3es west of the railroad station. (1, Map 24; 26, p. 246) Freight is carted between the station and wharf. (26, p. 246) Ma-feng-k'ou is about 160 miles overland or 300 miles by water from Ying-Wou, the whole distance being navigable for junks. Commodities from the interior used to be shipped by water to Ying-Wou, making T'ieh-ling a flourishing city, but the railway and a new wharf tttT'ung-chiang-Wou (42 38N 123 43E), Liao-ning Prov., has undercut its former proaperity. Recently water traffic to T'ung-chiang-klou is on the wane and the Ma-feng-kiou route is again used for beans and grain because Ying-klou can be reached from T'ieh-ling in 4 or 5 days at highwater.

It has 5,000 population, and was one of the leading ports on the upper Liao-ho as the shipping point for almost all grain from Neng-an (co-ordinates unknown), Shuang-yuan (43 30N 123 29E) and Pai-mien-chleng (43 UPN 124 00E), all in Liao-ning Prov., on the upper reaches. It once outranked Tlieh-ling, but has gradually declined to an annual turnover of only 1,000,000 bushels. (26, P. 247) At highwater small steamers go up to T'ung-chianglklou, about 570 km from the mouth of the Liao-ho. (13, p. 157) San-chiang-Wou (Mouth of Three Rivers) (43 23N 123 42E), Liaoning Prov., is at the confluence of the Hsiao-chiing-ho, Tung-liao'ho and Hsi-liao-ho, which flows through Cheng-chia-t'un. It is on the west bank, about 5 miles SE of the railroad station at Ta-mln-tlun (41 50N 122 58E), Liaoning Prey., which is on the east bank. Once one of the leading commercial centers of Manchuria and Mongolia, connected with.Cheng-chia-t'un on the upper, Tlieh-ling on the middle and Ying-Wou on the lower course of the river, it had a large junk tra4e in the spring and summer. Its principal business now is shipping agricultural products from the villages on the Liao-ho, including beans, green peas, river fish and kao-liang, of which 250,000 bushels are shipped annually. (26, p? 256) Shuang-yuan, Cheng-chia-t'un or Liao-yuan is the head of navigation for junks, 828 km from Ying-klou. (7, p. 207) 6.

It has a population of 30,000. (10, p. 291) Oil shale occurs in the vicinity. (10, p. 273) The Ta-ling-ho is frozen 3 months of the year at Ch'ao-yang. (10, p. 262) 7. The Hai-ho, formed by five rivers converging near Tlien-chin (39 08N 117 12E), Hopei Prov., flows through this city, then southeast, and falls into the sea below Ta-cu (10, p.'50), where masses of silt, brought down especially by the Yung-ting tributary) have formed the Ta-ku Bar, a serious obstacle to navigation? (20, p. 142) The five tributaries of the Hai-ho are the Grand Canal North, starting from Mi-yun (40 22N 116 49E), Hopei Prey., at the confluence of the Pai-ho and Ch'ao-ho (10, p. 45) and flowing to Tlien-chin down the channel of the Pai-ho (10, p0 50); the Yung-ting-ho, protected by dikes because its channel at Lu-kou-ch'iao or Wan-p'ing (39 51N 116 13E), Ho-pei Prove, is higher than the surrounding country; the Ta-ch'ing-ho or Shan-hsin-ho, flowing through Hsi-tien Lake and Tung-tien Lake; the Tzu-ya-ho or Hsin-hsi-ho; and the Grand Canal South, flowing from Lin-chling (36 51N 115 41E), Shantung Prey., at the confluence of Wei-ho and Hui-t'ung-ho.

(10, p. 77) Thin ice covers the river in December and January. But small ice- breakers keep the channel open for traffic throughout the winter. (110 p. 7) Another source of the same year states that the river op is usually covered with ice for three months, but closed to water traffic for only two months, owing to the use of icebreakers. (10, p. 69) The Hai-llo has to be dredged continually from T'ien-chin to its mouth to prevent it from silting up rapidly? The ship channel at Then-chin was straightened and dredged to greater depths, banks were reinforced and dikes built? (11, p. 7) But despite these improvements, steamers move upriver slowly, sometimes running aground on shoals. With the many bends in the channel reducing speed, it takes them from four to twelve hours to sail from the mouth of the Hai-ho to Then-chin. Steamers too large to enter the river formerly anchored at the roadstead 40 to 50 km from the mouth and transferred their cargo to junks, barges and shallow-draft steamer going up to Then-chin* (11, p. 8) Then-chin lies 39 km from the sea on the Hai-ho, accordin to a 1953 source (10, P. 77); another source of the same year gives the distance as 45 kn.

A large portion of all seagoing vessels stand at Ta-ku to load and unload by means of lighters. (10, p. 78) Tiang-ku Hsin-kang (new Port) is east of Tlang-ku on the Po-hai Gulf at approx. (39 OON 117 45E). (1, Map 21) Construction was started by the Japanese and completed by the present regime (10, p. 78)i the port was officially opened in October 1952. (16, p, 107) The plan called for two breakwaters, a harbor, ship lock, docks, repair yards and railroad stations. One breakwater running from the north, the other from the south, were to stand 1 m above water level in the river. The ship lock, with 5-m mini- mum and 8-m maximum depths leads from the western part of the port to the Hai-ho and passes steamers of 2,000 to 3,000-t displacement bound for T'ien-chin. (10, p. 78) According to a 1956 source, ships of 3,500-t capacity now go directly to T'ien-chin. (42, No. 44, 1956, p. 2) (Fig. 39) The two completed breakwaters have a combined length of over 19 miles and protect a deep-water area of about seven square miles from river sediment. (16, p. 107) Built of granite blocks each weighing many tons, they are broad enough for a jeep to drive along the top. A 9-mile channel had to be dredged to make it possible for 10,000-t ships to use the new port at T'ang-ku. (35, No. 1, 1954, pp. 12, 13) (Fig. 40) Four square kilometers of land were reclaimed from the sea and wharves, large warehouses and auxiliary buildings erected. (42, No. 44, 1956, p. 2) Wharf No. 1 can simultaneously berth four 10,000-t ships (35, No, 1, 1954, p. 11) of 30,000-t displace- ment (10, p. 78) plus five 3,000-t vessels. Cilanes transfer their cargo to trains. Wharf No. 2 has automatic coal loaders. (35, No. 1, 1954, pp. 11, 13) (Figs. 41, 42) T'ang-ku handles 40% of all imports and 60% of all exports from China. (350 No. 1, 1954, pp. 11-13) The five tributaries of the Hai-ho or Hai-ho/Pei-tnang-ho System are all navigable for junks and carry a considerable volume of freight. (10, p. 69) The Yung-ting-ho is the most important tributary. Junks carry agricultural products and handicraft wares, such as brooms, brushes, mats and sacks, downstream to T'ien-chin. (11, p. 8) Being a large river, it used to cause disastrous floods, but Is now controlled (11, p. 8) by the Kuan-Tling dam and reservoir at the entrance to the narrow gorge in the Hsi-shan (West Mts.). (28) Work on a canal from the Yung-ting-ho to Pei-ching was begun 1 January 1956 to supply more water for Pei-ching and its industry, for transportation and to irrigate more land. This canal will be 25 km long and run from the lock at San-chia-tien (39 58N 116 05E), Ho-pei Prey., directly to the city moat at NOTE: THIS DOCUMENT CONTAINS INFORMATION AFFECTING THE NATIONAL DEFENSE OF THE UNITED STATES WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE ESPIONAGE ACT, 50 U S.

Pei-ching. A tunnel nearly 700 m long will be dug to lead the canal through the Mo-shih Mt s. The canal will use the moat around the south and east sides of Pei-ching, and the T'ung-hui-ho (28) or T'ung-hui Canal, which links Pei-ching to the north terminus of the Grand Canal at T'uns-chou. (10, p. 50) Pei-chins will thus become a port with an outlet to the sea. (28) (Fig. )44) The Tzu-ya-ho is formed by the confluence of the Fu-yang-ho and the Hu-tlo-ho at Haien (38 12N 116 07E) 10-pei Province, and flows into the Hai-ho at Tlien-chin. (1, Map 21; 10,p.45) It is an important water route for regional products. (11, p. 8) The Wei-ho serves as part of the Grand Canal, the chief water- way from the agricultural regions of western Shantung to the industrial center of T'ien-chin, Formerly only ships under 100-t capacity could sail this river even during high water in the summer and fall, while shipping almost ceased during low water in the spring and early summer. (6, p. 97) The new Victory Canal has raised the water level in the Wei-ho and made it navigable from Hsin-hsiang (35 19N 113 52E), Ho-nan Prov., to T'ien-chin, a distance of 900 km. The canal carrles water from the Huang-ho at the Pei-chins/Han-Wou Railroad bridge, parallel to the roadbed northward to the Wei-ho at Hsin-hsiang. (6, p. 97) The Huang-ho is about 4,500 km long (31, a quoted source) or 4 635 km if measured up the Hsin-huang-ho (New Yellow River). It dilainvan area of 771,500 sq km and has a maximum discharge of 25,000 cu m/sec at flood time in the lower reaches. (6, pp, 90,91) It falls into the Po-hai-wan (Gulf) east of Li-chin or Li-chiang (37 29N 118 16E), Shan-tung Province. (1, Map 33; 31) The two obstacles to shipping on the Huang-ho are innumerable rapid and too low a volume of water in the middle and lower reaches. From November to May or June the water level is particularly low and the average monthly discharge then is only 3% to 5% of the annual discharge. (33) In its upper reaches the Huang-ho is torrential and unsuitable for navigation, except for timber rafts from Kuei-te (36 03N 101 28E), Ch'ing-hai Prov., to Lan-chou (36 03N 103 41E), Kan-su Province. At Lan-chou the river widens and the volume of water increases; the stretch between Lan-chou and Chung-Wei (35 47N 111 49E), Shan-hsi Provo, has five gorges only about 150 in wide. The section below Ching-yuan (36 37N 104 32E), Kan-su Provo, to Pao-t'ou (40 36N 110 03E), Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, is navigable for Junks, and the river is ice-free here for about 8 months a year From Chung-Wei to Ho-Wou-Chen (40 13N 111 12E) near TIo-klo-tlo (40 15N 111 12E) in western Inner Mongolia, the river is wide and the flow normal, except for the narrow rapids at Ch'ing-tung-hsia r3o-ordinate8 unknown) and near Shih-tsui-shan (Shih-tsui-tzu) 9 lON 106 45E), Kan-Su Province.

Below Yu-men-klou (35 39N 110 29E), Shan-hsi Prov., the river flows through the San-men-heia Gorges (3)4 54N 111 12E), HO-nan PrOVinCe. (31) Below Meng-ching (34 52N 112 39E), Ho-nark Prov., the river enters the North China Plain where it receives no tributaries for 700 km or one sixth of its entire course. Here dikes and sedimentation through the centuries have raised the channel above the surround- ing plain. (6, p. 90; 31) Though navigable for shallow vessels, the lower Huang-ho is used for river transportation on1y.4,n certain sections. This region is sparsely settled because of the constant threat of flood, especially below Chi-nan (36 41N 117 00E), Shan-tung Province. Only in the last 50 km of its delta is the river not confined by dikes. Accretion here is rapid; from 1947 to 1952 the mouth of the Huang-ho moved 25 km into the sea. (6, pp. 90, 91) Pao-tiou (40 36N 110 03E), Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, a city with some 60,000 population (10, p. 309), stands where the Pei-ching/Pao-tfou and Pao-tiou/Lan-chou Railroads (10, p. 309; 4; 35, No. 8, 1956, pp. 5-9) and the highways to Yu-lin (36 17N 109 )45E), Shen-hsi Prov., and into Kan-Su PrdVince (8) meet the Huang-ho. The port is at Nan-hai-tzu (40 33N 110 06E), Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, on the north bank of the Huang-hq 2 km SE of the new city of Pao-tiou. (18; 10, p. 309; 1, Map 22) Over 500 junks use this river port and the first tug has been launched here a short time ago. (42, No. 171, 1955, p. 2) (Fig.)45) The Pao-tiou stretch is the best for shipping on the entire Huang-ho. Skin rafts of 12-t to 15-t capacity carry goods between Lan-chou and Pao-tioul making about two trips a year. Junks make two trips a year between Pao-tlou and Yin-chluan (32 26 106 19E), Kan-SU Prov., traveling 18 to 30 km per day upstream (31) with products from the eastern provinces, transshipped at Pao-tiou. (10, I), 309) They make 60 to 90 km per day downstream with leather goods and herbs from Chun:E-wei and Yin-chtuan, and with salt from Teng-ktou-shih (39 48N 106 36E) or Ting-klou-chen, Kan-SU Province. (31) Shipping on the stretch between Shen-hsi and Shan-hsi Provinces has to operate in two sectors, separated by the waterfall at Hu-k,ou. (31) Ho-Ching (35 37N 110 43E), Shen-hsi Fray., is a port at the con- fluence of Huang-ho and Fen-ho. Junks sail down the Huang-ho from Ho-ching to Cheng-chou (34 )45N 113 40E); Ho-nan Prov., but cannot negotiate San-men-hsia Rapids going upstream.

The navigable section will then be about 170 km long and become the first long water* way in Shan-hsi Province for shipping out the foodstuffs and cotton grown in the region. Wharves will be built at a number of points and river boats provided.

(100 p. 249; 10 Map 27) A 1955 source states that between Yu-men (or Yu-men-klou), Shan-hsi Prov.? and Lo-Wou (36 44N 116 58E), Shan-tung Pray., junks can travel 20 km per day pstream and 70 to 100 km a day downstream. In Shan-tung Pray, the river averages 3 m deep. (31) According to a 1953 source, junks can sail the section between Cheng-chou (34 45N 113 40E), Ho-nan Provo, and Lo-klou? but navigation is complicated here, (10, p. 69) Steam navigation will be opened on this stretch up to Cheng-chou early in the Five-year Plan, (36) Lo-k'ou is on the south bank of the Huang-ho and the river port for Chi-nan (36 40N 117 00E), Shan-tung Pray.

Drawing 1.3 m, 29 m long and 5.4 m wide, this vessel is designed to ply the Huang-ho; it is the first ship of this type to be launched on this river, according to a quoted source. (32) The lower course of the Huang-ho has many sand bars preventing vessels from going directly out to sea. Therefore, the clear Hsiao-chling-ho flowing east of Chinan is used as an outlet to the sea. (10, p. 69; 31) This river is sufficiently deep for junk traffic directly from Chi-nan. Motor vessels ply its lower reaches (6, p, 271) At'Yarechiao-klott.,(37 16N 118 53E), Shan-tung Provo, at the mouth of the fisiiia-41iTing-ho on the Po-hal Gulf, freieht is transferred from river junks to seagoing vessels.
