Zhaitou Jiao (Hebe Head) (28°08'N., 121°21'E.) is the S extremity of a rugged mountainous headland. The coast line between the headland and Shi Jiao, about 112 miles SW, continues rather irregular and is indented by many inlets and Jigushan from SE, distant 2 miles the estuaries of several large rivers. It is backed throughout by mountainous terrain which reaches the sea everywhere in bold promontories and headlands, except in the N central part where the land is low and well cultivated. The inshore area as far S as P'ing yang Tsui fronts the coastline with an extensive margin of drying mud flats, while the offshore area contains numerous islands and islets well scattered throughout.
