Yantai, in Shandong Province, is some 400 kilometres south east of Beijing. It has a population of around 7 million. Shandong is China's biggest agricultural province in terms of output and growth. Foreign investment is encouraged, and there are many opportunities here for UK companies involved in a wide variety of agriculture-related industries. Yantai is well placed to benefit from the ambitious plans for Shandong province's economic expansion, and its coastal location, low pollution and pleasant climate make it a good location in which to live and work. This video is one of a 20 part series on China's regional cities. Each video shows the size and scale of the city, its overall attractiveness as a place to live and work, and introduces potential business opportunities. UK business interest in China has been focused on a few large established cities on or near the coast. However, these markets are maturing, competition is intensifying and costs are increasing. As a consequence companies are considering alternative locations for business expansion and development. Regional cities are fast becoming the target for local and foreign investment. The rapid rate of urbanisation, expansion and economic growth of these cities offers considerable opportunities across a wide range of industrial sectors and business activities. For more information on doing business in China, see our seven part 'Breaking the Barriers ' series, which introduces some of the business challenges faced <b>...</b>

Here is a brief look into my Chinese New Year here in Yantai. It starts off with fireworks displays all over town with the snow falling slowly to the ground. Then a funny scene of a firework mishap. Afterwards, it concludes inside my in-laws apartment and some people honoring their deceased loved ones by burning paper money and offerings to them.

Orchards in Yantai city in eastern Shandong province are allegedly using pesticide bags to protect growing apples. This practice is illegal and authorities say they are now investigating. Chinese media reported apple growers are using bags coated with pesticide, and wrapping them around young, growing apples. This is meant to protect the surface of the apples and keep out diseases that could hurt the crop yield. State-controlled Beijing News reported that the pesticide includes banned chemicals including Tuzet and arsenical fungicide. Yantai is one of China's main apple producers. More than 1.3 billion pounds of apples from here are sold domestically and exported worldwide. This is not the first time pesticide bags have been found. State-run media report authorities had discovered them previously in 2010.

    Yantai
    Traditional Chinese 煙臺 or 煙台
    Simplified Chinese 烟台
    Literal meaning smoke platform

    Yantai (Chinese: 烟台; pinyin: Yāntái) is a prefecture-level city in northeastern Shandong province, People's Republic of China. Located on the southern coast of the Bohai Sea and the eastern coast of the Laizhou Bay, Yantai borders the cities of Qingdao and Weihai to the southwest and east respectively.

    The largest fishing seaport in Shandong and a robust economic center today, Yantai used to be known to the West as Chefoo, a misnomer which refers, in Chinese, solely to Zhifu Island, which is historically governed by Yantai.

    The contemporary name of Yantai came from the watchtowers constructed on Mount Qi in 1398, during the reign of the Hongwu Emperor, founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty (yan—smoke; tai—tower). The towers served to raise alarms against invasions of Japanese pirates.

    Contents

    Administration[link]

    The prefecture-level city of Yantai administers 12 county-level divisions, including 4 districts, 7 county-level cities, 1 county and one development zone.

    These are further divided into 148 township-level divisions, including 94 towns, 6 townships and 48 subdistricts.

    History[link]

    The region was inhabited by the non-Han people of the Eastern Yi (東夷), who were believed to have established a small state during the Xia Dynasty on the site of present-day Laizhou City. It became a feudal state called Lai (萊國) until the Warring States Period, when it was annexed by the State of Qi. During the Qin Dynasty, Yantai belonged to the Qi Prefecture, later renamed Donglai Prefecture (東萊郡) during the Han Dynasty. The area was known as the Donglai Kingdom during the Jin Dynasty (265-420) but later returned to prefecture status (first jùn, then zhōu). In the Tang Dynasty and following it was known as the Teng-chou prefecture, part of Henan Circuit. Next, the city became the Laizhou Subprefecture (萊州府) and, eventually, the Dengzhou Subprefecture (登州府) in the time of the Qing Dynasty.

    A Qing Dynasty postage stamp from Yantai, then known as Chefoo

    In July 1858 the Chinese empire signed the Treaty of Tianjin and Dengzhou was renamed for the last time. Yantai opened its harbor for business in May 1861, but was not officially designated an international trading port until later that year on August 22. This decree was accompanied by the construction of the Donghai Pass (東海關). 17 nations, including Britain, established embassies in Yantai. The Chefoo Convention was signed there in 1876.

    Yantai literally means "smoky tower". In the Ming Dynasty, locals used wolf dung to light fires (Langyan) to warn the whole village of approaching Japanese Pirates (Wokou). The city was nothing but a small fishing village until the late 19th century when it became a treaty port for the British, handed over by the falling Qing Dynasty, which had been defeated in the Opium War. Then with the Germans' power over the whole Shandong peninsula in early 20th century, Yantai was also controlled by Germans for about 20 years. After the Germans were defeated by Allied forces in World War I, Qingdao and Yantai were handed over to the Japanese. After Japan's defeat by the Americans in WW2 they turned Yantai into a summer station for their entire Asian fleet. Then the Japanese set up a trading establishment in the town. You may be able to get an idea of the different influences at the western style Yantai Museum, which used to be a guild hall. However, the colourful history has not left a distinctive architectural mark, there has never been a foreign concession, and though you will see an occasional nineteenth-century grand European building, most of the town is of much more recent origin. After liberation, the town's name was changed from the original, Chefoo, to Yantai and was opened to the world as an ice-free trade port in 1984.

    On November 12, 1911, the eastern division of Tongmeng Hui declared itself a part of the revolutionary movement. The next day, it established the Shandong Military Government (山東軍政府) and, the day after that, renamed itself the Yantai Division of the Shandong Military Government (山東煙台軍政分府). In 1914, Jiaodong Circuit (膠東道) was established with Yantai as the capital. Jiaodong Circuit was renamed Donghai Circuit (東海道) in 1925. On January 19, 1938, Yantai participated as part of an anti-Japanese revolutionary committee.

    After the creation of the People's Republic of China, in 1950, Yantai was officially awarded city status with the outer lying towns of Laiyang and Wendeng (文登) tacked on as "Special Regions" (专区). Wendeng was merged into Laiyang six years later, and this larger Laiyang Special Region was combined with Yantai City to become simply Yantai Region (烟台地区). Yantai is of strategic importance to Chinese defence as it and the city of Dalian are primary coastal guard points for Beijing. In November 1983, the region became a prefecture-level city. Since then, Yantai has worked its way into becoming a modernized economic center in Shandong Province.

    Overview of Yantai Raffles Shipyard in November 2007

    Yantai Raffles Shipyard (in Chinese: 烟台莱福士船厂) is a shipbuilding company in Yantai, Shandong Province, Peoples Republic of China. Coordinates: 37°35′48″N 121°23′39″E / 37.59667°N 121.39417°E / 37.59667; 121.39417

    In 1994, Brian Chang founded Yantai Raffles at the junction of Bo Hai Bay and the Yellow Sea. The shipyard is in close proximity to Korea and Japan, an area that accounts for 80% of the global shipbuilding capacity. YRS is the only shipyard in China to be majority foreign-owned. It has agreed to acquire 100% of the Sanlian Longkou shipyard in Shandong, China.[1]

Previously, he has worked with various companies in Singapore and Malaysia in the marine industry, including Mobil, Jardine Offshore and Far East Shipyard (now known as Keppel FELS) between 1965 and 1970. In 1971, he started his own company, Promet (now known as PPL), which grew in size over his decade-long tenure. He has worked for 40 years in the shipbuilding and marine fabrication sector, overseeing more than 600 marine construction projects [2]

    • Mono-hull circular column FPSO
    • Floating, Production & Offloading Vessel (FPO)
    • Pipelay Vessel
    • Fallpipe Vessel
    • Semi-submersible bare deck Vessel

    Yard Facilities[link]

    • 72-hectare shipyard
    • State-of-the-art building facilities
    • World's largest gantry crane [3]with lifting capacity of 20,000 metric tonnes due for completion in July 2007
    • One of the world’s largest [4] dry docks (L430m x W120m x D14m)
    • One of the world's largest [5] land-based pedestal crane
    • 2 X 370 metric tonnes gantry cranes
    • Fully automated warehouse that can store up to 4,000 pallets in total

    World's Largest Crane[link]

    Taisun, the world's largest gantry crane, with a lifting capacity of 20,000 metric tonnes, has taken over 7 years to plan and an additional 12 months for the preparation of its design framework.

    The crane, capable of muscling up to 10,000 cars in one lift, allows the mating of an entire outfitted deck box of a semi-submersible rig onto its hull/pontoons in one single operation. The shipyard states that this will reduce work hazards at high altitudes and in the open sea[citation needed]. The lifting of the complete deck box reduces man-hours by as much as half[citation needed].
