Légende

The Chinese Question: the German Occupation of Kiao-Chau [or Kaiochou] - bay to the east of Tsingtan to be made a seaside resort, 1898. 'Facsimile Sketch by our Special Artist, Mr. Melton Prior. The future bathing place of Tsingtan (China). "The neighbourhood here is very pretty, and from what I hear, the climate in summer is simply charming. The Germans are more than delighted with their new acquisition. In summer the people of Shanghai, and even Hong-Kong and other southern ports, on holiday bent, go as far as Chefoo for a change, but as this is a long voyage by steamer, it is intended to make a seaside resort near here. On Sunday morning last, I took a walk over some hills to the east, and not a mile distant came across the pleasant bay of my sketch, where it is intended to put up an hotel and at once begin a German 'Bad'".' Melton Prior. From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
