The Ching-Chong river is the northernmost large stream in Corea at the west side of the peninsula, flowing parallel with the Yalu and about 70 miles from it.

These conditions make the line of the Ching-Chong a particularly strong one strategically, and may serve as the first great line of Japanese operations in Corea.

The school was opened in February, 1901, and was called the Ching Chong Primary School by the son in memory of the name of his father.
