My father put down his razor and straightened his face. "I've been meaning to tell you," he said. "We can't go to Peitaiho this summer, Jean. We'll be going to Kuling." I couldn't believe it. There he was with soap over one half of his face, saying Kuling, not Peitaiho, just as if he were saying cornflakes, not Grape-Nuts.

It became a very popular resort to escape the summer heat and humidity of inland cities. This community was connected by a spur line to the main line of the railway, the junction of which was at the town of Peitaiho, through which flowed a small river of the same name. Peitaiho Beach is on the Gulf of Chihli, approximately 15 miles from the China-Manchuria border.
