Province on the east coast to the Yellow Sea at the lower course of the Yellow River in the central east of China southeast of Beijing.

In 1892, the businessman Chang Bishi (1841-1916) founded the "Chang Yu" winery in Yantai; today, under the name Yantai Changyu, it is one of the largest wine producers.
