  From Shipmate, April 1986
Never having been to Chefoo before, we had to exercise all precautions as the coastline was not under the control of the Communists and they had extinguished all navigational aides and there were numerous islands and shoals en route.
Chefoo is a famous resort, where many of the wealthy Chinese, foreign diplomats and wealthy foreigners stay for the summer to escape the heat and the humidity of interior.
Chefoo is somewhat similar to our Santa Barbara, California, being on the coast and surrounded by mountains/Hills about 2,000-3,000 feet high that slope to the coastline.

Rummaging through the archives of the School of Oriental and African Studies at London University, I found a photograph of the pair of them, taken by a visitor to Chefoo when they were about eight years old.
And when the pair of them started to totter around their redbrick, two-story, end-of-terrace home in the Chinese port of Chefoo (correctly pronounced "shee-fu" but anglicized to "chee-foo")—a house designed to give its inhabitants the illusion of living in a safe British town—it was always Ada who went first.
They wandered past the whitewashed Western holiday hotels, past the clink of glasses on the suburban-style Chefoo Club terrace, and past the square, squat tower of the austere St. Andrew's Church with its triangular hat of a spire.
