... 230 kilometer coastline, climatically and typographically similar to that of Scotland.

Typographically? I would think the typography of eastern China would be markedly different to that of Scotland. Neither Gaelic nor English are known for their use of ideographs, in my experience. Lexyboy (talk) 10:06, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Size of the city of Haiyang

The article currently states "Haiyang . . . spans over 1,886 square meters along the biggest Chinese peninsula . . . ." Let's see, that would be 10 meters by 18.86 meters. Something tells me this city has to be a little larger than that. Sedgehead (talk) 20:24, 15 January 2012 (UTC)Sedgehead[reply]

Not cited and inaccurate

In 'European settlement' chapter, someone wrote that, From the late 19th century until World War I, Haiyang was a strategic town on the route between the two European settlements of Qingdao and Weihaiwei... But this is false and not in any history books. While Haiyang was a coastal town in the vicinity, there is limited to no evidence of it playing a major strategic or commercial role in the route between these two ports during this time. And seeing there's no citations to support that info either, as nobody provided sources since 2017, I am removing it unless someone can provide a single source to support that dubious statement. 49.195.35.233 (talk) 10:27, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also should add that it's both dubious and unlikely for two main reasons - firstly there's no major land route between the two cities at that time. And given that European powers primarily used sea routes for trade and military purposes, Haiyang’s position along the coast wouldn’t have been critical. And secondly, Haiyang was a smaller, less developed coastal town compared to Qingdao and Weihaiwei at the time, and there’s little historical empirical evidence supporting significant European investment or interest there.49.195.35.233 (talk) 10:35, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
