125 Fortune 500 projects settled down! Two hundred billion industries broke out in this coastal new city.

CCTV’s large-scale media activity "Hundred Years and Hundred Cities" came to Yantai City, Shandong Province. Yantai was one of the first coastal open cities in China in 1984, and it was a new coastal city rising from the saline-alkali wasteland.

　　The reporter came to the Folaishan Citizen Cultural Park in Yantai Economic and Technological Development Zone, which is only more than 1000 meters away from the seaside. The sea has formed its high-quality ecology and provided natural location advantages for urban development here.

　　After more than 30 years of vicissitudes, the once saline-alkali beach has become a modern coastal new city. At present, 125 Fortune 500 projects have taken root in Yantai Development Zone, and the output value of the two leading industries of machinery, automobiles and electronic information has exceeded 100 billion yuan. Strategic emerging industries have risen strongly, and two industrial clusters, advanced structural materials and biomedicine, have been selected as the first batch of 66 national strategic emerging industrial clusters in China, and the total production capacity of MDI materials ranks first in the world.

　　Liu Jianmin, Deputy Secretary of the Working Committee and Deputy Director of the Management Committee of Yantai Development Zone: Like many development zones in China, the development model of Yantai Development Zone is to expand the secondary production, promote the integration of the tertiary production and the production city, and finally rise from a barren beach to a new coastal city.

　　In recent years, Guxian Street in Yantai City has further promoted the construction of the cultural brand of "Famous Town of Shandong Cuisine", taking Shandong Cuisine Industry as the core, giving consideration to culture, function and architecture, and planning to build an industrial cluster with the characteristics of ancient Shandong Cuisine.

　　Yu Fangqing, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Director of the Office of Guxian Street, Yantai City, Shandong Province: The ancient history and humanities are very long. Besides Shandong cuisine, there are also very rich historical and cultural elements. There are mountains, waters, stories, delicious food and wine.
