Why is Shandong's natural and geographical conditions among the best in the world?

As we all know, China has a land area of 9.6 million square kilometers and a coastal area of 3 million square kilometers, which has the best natural and geographical conditions in the world. However, among the 34 provincial administrative regions in China, why is Shandong Province among the best in the world in terms of natural conditions?

The situation of mountains and rivers and land Shandong Province has a unique natural endowment of "mountains, rivers, forests and lakes".

The Yellow River, the mother river of the Chinese nation, originated at the northern foot of Bayan Kara, and flowed through nine provinces and regions from west to east, carrying sediments rich in organic matter and nutrients upstream to the North China Plain, and finally flowing into the Bohai Sea from Shandong, which gave birth to one of the earliest civilizations in China.

In addition to the Yellow River, lakes and tributary rivers all over Shandong provide favorable conditions for agricultural development.

It is precisely because of the fertile soil conditions in the North China Plain and the irrigation of the Yellow River and lakes that Shandong Province has become the "granary" and "vegetable basket" of the whole country. The output of vegetables, fruits and aquatic products ranks first in China, with vegetables accounting for 12%, fruits accounting for 1 1% and aquatic products accounting for 13%, ranking first in China.

Shandong's agricultural products exports account for 22% of the country, leading the country for 20 consecutive years. Grain production ranks third in China, second only to Heilongjiang and Henan, and wheat production ranks second in China. According to FAO statistics, China's vegetable planting area and output account for 43% and 49% of the world respectively, ranking first in the world. Moreover, the agriculture in Shandong province is the best in the country, and the agricultural industry in Shandong can be said to be unique in the world.

Shandong's Superior Geographical Location Shandong Province is located on the eastern coast of China, in the middle of the geographical distance between Beijing and Shanghai, the largest city in China, and across the Yellow Sea from Japan and South Korea, two countries with highly developed economy, science and technology and culture. Once the China-Japan-Korea Pilot Free Trade Zone is approved in the east, Shandong's economy will develop faster.

The depth of the east and west oceans in North America is favorable in wartime-equivalent to having the two widest moats. However, it is obviously inferior to China in economic exchanges.

Shandong also has one-sixth of the country's coastline, and the coastline quality is very high: the total length of Shandong coastline is 3024 kilometers, and the length of mainland coastline ranks second in the country. A province has four high-quality seaports: Qingdao Port, Yantai Port, Rizhao Port and Bohai Port.

Marine resources are extremely rich. Because Shandong Peninsula is close to Bohai Sea and Yellow Sea, it is not only the intersection of cold current and warm current, but also the mouth of the Yellow River, so there are many plankton and abundant marine resources. According to statistics, there are more than 260 species of marine fish and shrimp in Shandong Peninsula, and the output of shrimp, sea cucumber, scallop and abalone ranks first in the country.

Shandong province has superior climatic conditions. Shandong province belongs to the warm temperate monsoon climate type. Precipitation is concentrated, rain and heat are in the same season, spring and autumn are short, winter and summer are long. It provides very good natural conditions for agricultural development. Geological disasters such as typhoon, flood, drought, debris flow and landslide are at a low level in the world, which provides favorable conditions for industrial and agricultural development.

In contrast, there is insufficient light in the plains of western Europe, and high temperature weather often occurs in summer. The hot weather of over 40 degrees in western Europe makes headlines every year. The central plains of North America are often ravaged by hurricanes in summer, and the cold wave of the Arctic Ocean whizzes past Canada in winter, causing severe snowstorms.

The precipitation and water resources in Shandong Province are at a very adaptive level in the world, which makes it difficult to have floods and rare droughts. Similarly, Shandong's unique climatic conditions make it impossible for the region to have a snowstorm unique to the United States in winter and a hurricane unique to the United States in summer. The unique climate advantage can breed a world-famous vegetable base like Shouguang.

Convenient traffic conditions: China's two busiest high-speed rail arteries, Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail 1 Line and Line 2 respectively pass through most cities in Shandong Province, extending in all directions by sea, air and highway.

For Shandong, climate, resources, minerals, geographical location and convenient transportation are among the highest in the world. The geographical environment is suitable for agricultural development, with convenient transportation and few geological disasters, so Shandong's geographical conditions are unique in the world.
