Dongying City, where the College is located, is the central city of the Yellow River Delta and the base of Shengli Oilfield, the second largest oilfield in China. Dongying City is the second batch of coastal open cities in China approved by the State Council, and it is one of the areas with high level of economic and social development in the eastern coastal areas of China. The per capita income, per capita savings and per capita consumption of urban residents are among the best in Shandong Province. In recent years, the government of China has included "developing efficient ecological economy in the Yellow River Delta" in the Tenth Five-Year Plan, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization has designated Dongying as an "international green industry demonstration zone", and the Shandong Provincial People's Government has approved Dongying as a processing and manufacturing base in Shandong Province. In particular, "Yellow River Delta Development" has been included in the "China 2 1 Century Agenda Priority Project Plan". Dongying city construction has achieved fruitful results: honors such as "National Health City", "National Model City for Environmental Protection", "National Model City for Scientific and Technological Innovation", "National Model City for Soil and Water Conservation and Ecological Environment Construction" and "National Advanced City Created by Spiritual Civilization" followed one after another. In particular, Dongying's strategy of "opening up, attracting investment and developing" has attracted many well-known enterprises, including the world's top 500 companies. Every year, the Yellow River Delta region has sprung up in economic development with its unique geographical advantages and rich natural resources. Industry, agriculture and service industries are in urgent need of a large number of highly skilled talents, which provides a broad development space for the development of higher vocational education.
