Laiyang is famous for pears, which enjoy an equal reputation alongside Yantai's apples.

As one of the best-known local products in Shandong province, Laiyang pears feature textured yellow-green peels and are succulent and crispy.

The pear is rich in sugar content, organic acids and vitamins. In addition to being served as fresh fruit, Laiyang pears can also be processed into dried and preserved pears, pear jams, and made for wine and vinegar. The pears are an ideal ingredient of cough syrup.
