Shandong Peninsula

Just like the Liaodong Peninsula I posted about previously, you will find Shandong Peninsula (山東半島) in northeast CHINA and is partly surrounded by Bo Hai and Korea Bay. This peninsula is part of Shandong Province. With several million residents, Qingdao lies at the southern part of Shandong Peninsula and is the largest city in the area. Other large cities on and near the peninsula include Laiyang, Longkou, Pingdu, Rongcheng, Weifang, Weihai, Wendeng, and Yantai. In the southern part of Bo Hai lies the Laizhou Bay, located north of the peninsula; the famous and important Yellow River (Huang) flows west of Shandong. Several peaks on Shandong include Kunyu Shan (923 meters) and Ai Shan (818 meters).
