Vintage Old post card. French China. Fort-Bayard. Le Boulevard Maréchal-Joffre / Marechal Joffre. Kouang-Tcheou-Wan. Entrance Gate Guard Soldier with Gun. Chinese Children. Street Scene. Zhanjiang 湛江

The French forced the Chinese to lease a small enclave of Zhanjiang to them as the territory of Kouang-Tchéou-Wan. The French wanted to develop the port, which they called Fort-Bayard, to serve southern China. The French retained control of the region until 1943, when the Japanese occupied the area during World War II. At the end of the war, the region returned briefly under French rule before being formally returned to China in 1946.
