It covers 7,923 square kilometres and counted 2,193,518 residents in 2020, spread across three districts and two counties and a 350-kilometre coastline on Laizhou Bay and Bohai Bay. The river crosses the whole city for 138 kilometres and enters the sea in the northeast, over ground younger than almost anywhere else in the province. The city is younger still. It was approved by the State Council on 10 November 1982 and formally inaugurated on 15 October 1983, built to develop the Shengli oilfield and the delta around it. Its landmarks are derricks and nodding pumpjacks, and it runs two sets of newspapers and television: one municipal, one belonging to the oilfield.
