Which peninsula contains Qingdao and projects into the Yellow Sea from eastern China?

The Shandong Peninsula is the Chinese peninsula that contains Qingdao and projects into the Yellow Sea.

It forms the eastern part of Shandong Province and lies between the Bohai Sea to the north and the Yellow Sea to the south and east. Qingdao, on the peninsula’s southern coast, is a major port and one of China’s best-known coastal cities.

The peninsula has been important for maritime trade, fishing, and military access. Qingdao was a German concession from 1898 until 1914, and the city still contains architectural traces of that period. Its coastline also includes the sacred Mount Lao, associated with Daoism.

The Shandong Peninsula is often mixed up with the Liaodong Peninsula across the Bohai Sea. Shandong is the larger southern projection, while Liaodong belongs to Liaoning Province in northeastern China.
