Yantai has good apples. Qixia City, Shandong Province is known as the "Roof of Jiaodong", with an area of 2,17 square kilometers. The main terrain is hilly and mountainous, with the characteristics of "six mountains, one water and three fields". This geographical and natural environment is very suitable for planting apples. Qixia people have a long history of planting apples for more than 1 years. Since the reform and opening up, Qixia has accelerated the adjustment of industrial structure and vigorously developed the apple industry. The orchard area has rapidly increased to 65, mu, with an annual output of 1 billion kilograms of apples, making it a pillar industry. Qixia therefore enjoys the title of "Apple Capital of China" and "Apple First City of China".
