Morphology

Liaodong + peninsula

The phrase is a straightforward place-name composition: the proper noun 'Liaodong' + the geographic noun 'peninsula' yields 'the peninsula called Liaodong' so a learner who knows both constituents can infer it is a landmass projecting into the sea. This place-name + noun pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows normal English composition, making the meaning immediately derivable from the parts.

Etymology

The name Liaodong Peninsula comes from the Chinese parts Liao, which is the Liao River, and dong, which means 'east', so it literally means 'east of the Liao'. The land sticks out into the sea just east of that river, so the name tells its location.
