Geographical Location: Yantai is located on the northeastern coast of Shandong Peninsula, facing the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea. It occupies a strategic position within the Bohai Rim economic zone, playing a crucial role in regional and international trade. Yantai’s coastal location provides it with excellent access to the sea, facilitating the connection between the inland and the international market. Longkou, a county – level city under the jurisdiction of Yantai, also benefits from its coastal location, being an important part of Yantai’s economic development and transportation network.
Economic Characteristics: Yantai’s economy thrives on industries such as food processing, mechanical manufacturing, electronic information, and shipbuilding. The food processing industry, especially fruit and seafood processing, is well – known due to Yantai’s rich agricultural and marine resources. Mechanical manufacturing and electronic information industries have also experienced rapid development in recent years. These industries have generated a large demand for cargo transportation, providing a solid foundation for the development of the freight industry. Longkou, with its focus on industries like energy, chemical engineering, and port – related logistics, also contributes significantly to the local freight volume.

Yantai has jurisdiction over multiple districts and county – level cities, including Zhifu District, Laishan District, and Longkou. In Zhifu District, there are large – scale industrial parks centered around mechanical manufacturing and electronic information, which are the main sources of goods shipment. Laishan District, with its well – developed service industry and modern logistics parks, provides support for the freight business. Longkou, with its large – scale port – supporting areas and industrial parks focusing on energy and chemical engineering, is a key area for cargo concentration and shipment. These areas, with their complete industrial chains and convenient transportation networks, offer strong support for the development of the freight business.

Port/Seafreight: The ports in Yantai and Longkou are well – integrated with the coastal water system and have barge points. For international sea freight exports, goods from Yantai can be transported to all over the world via barges through transshipment at ports such as Dalian and Qingdao. Dalian, as a major port in Northeast China, has a wide range of shipping routes and advanced port facilities. Qingdao, a well – known international port, has a vast network of international shipping routes, state – of – the – art port facilities, and highly efficient logistics services. By relying on the coastal water system and the transshipment at these major ports, Yantai’s cargo transportation can be smoothly connected to the global market.
Airport/AirFreight: Yantai Laishan International Airport is an important aviation facility in the region. However, for international air freight exports, Yantai can consider transshipment at airports in Qingdao, Shanghai, and Beijing. Qingdao Liuting International Airport, Shanghai Pudong International Airport, and Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport, as well as Beijing Capital International Airport, are all major international aviation hubs. They operate a large number of international flights and are equipped with modern freight – handling facilities, including large – scale freight warehouses and advanced security inspection equipment. This provides Yantai with more flight options and better freight – handling capabilities to meet various air freight needs.
