The Yalu River forms the Korea Manchuria boundary on the northwest front. It is navigable to Shinkaihvo, but steamers stop at Antung due to shoals and currents. Tatungkao on the same bank serves cargoes when weather allows, yet is hard to reach. Anchorage at Passaves is exposed to strong winds, with rapid currents and many shoals. The river presents obstacles from sand banks, landslides, and high hills. From December to February the water is frozen, and the region was largely unknown until recently.
