Which province of Qingdao is Yantai in?

Both Qingdao and Yantai belong to Shandong Province, but Qingdao and Yantai are two cities.

But in terms of economic development and city scale, Qingdao is developing faster than Yantai.

Qingdao is a sub-provincial city. In Shandong, only two cities are sub-provincial cities, one is Jinan and the other is Qingdao.

Yantai is a prefecture-level city, lower than Qingdao.

And with the continuous development of Qingdao, it is likely to become a municipality directly under the central government.
