Qingjin harbor is located in the city of Qingjin in Xianjin Beidao^([sic – meaning Xianjing Beidao]), Korea. It is divided into east and west ports. In order to let China transfer commodities, Korea completely vacated this port for Jilin and Heilongjian^([sic – meaning Heilongjiang]). In the east port of Qingjin there are four berths so 5,000 to 10,000-ton freighters can berth there at the same time.
