Growing Economy In China. The Qingdao port in the coastal Shandong province has built an oil dock with a handling capacity of 10 million tons, two passenger wharfs and several 10,000-ton berths since 1973. Meanwhile its mechanization has also been raised to a great extent. Now the volume it handles has topped 20 million tons. Here is the dock for loading and unloading containers. Photo by Shao Lizhi
