     Somewhere between this type and the mixed type noted previously would be cases like that of Ch'ing-tao, in which virtually the entire existing city was constructed by the Germans after the razing of the old Chinese town, which included a new "Chinese" town laid out alongside the "Western" and disconcertingly Teutonic new town.

     The strip of land north of the port of Ch'ing-tao in Shantung province is forested, in sharp distinction to the barren hills beyond. The forest was under German supervision, at the time when Ch'ing-tao came under their judicial control. If the port bears unhappy witness to Germany's imperialistic ambition, the green belt is a tribute to that country's attitude towards land.
