On the coast, croaker , saber fish , herring and shrimp are hunted, the beaches of the tidal sea, flooded with sea waters, serve as a breeding ground for mollusks. Cereals grow on small plains, on hills (in the southern part of the peninsula) - apples, grapes, pears, tea. The peninsula is rich in deposits of iron ore, magnesite and gold [2] .
On the rocky rugged shores are some of the best ports in China. In the southeastern part of the peninsula, there is the main port and industrial center (production of electronics, pharmaceuticals, oil refining, mechanical engineering) Qingdao [2] . The Yantai industry, located in the north, specializes in various industries, including textiles, food processing, engineering, construction equipment and electronics [2] .
