Weihaiwei is located in Weihai City, the northeastern tip of Shandong Peninsula today. It was formerly a coastal fishing village, which was called Shiluo in the Han Dynasty. It is close to the outer sea of the Yellow Sea. It is located in Haizhou, West Lianning (now Muping). It forms a triangle with Yantai, which is a corner between the Bohai Strait to the north and the Lushun mouth of Liaodong Peninsula. It is the key to the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea, and it is the gateway to the Beijing Tianjin sea
