Laiyang is a county-level city within Yantai, bordering Qingdao, located in the middle of the Shandong Peninsula in Shandong province, China. About 70 percent of its population are farmers, and the city is famous for producing the Laiyang pear. As of 2010 it had a population of 923,000. Its position inland on the peninsula between the two large port cities of Yantai and Qingdao means that agriculture, rather than shipping, has shaped its identity, and its best-known product carries its name.
