We discuss the semiclassical theory and its applications to describe analytically the static and dynamic properties of nuclei. This semiclassical theory provides us a useful tool to understand the quantum-classical correspondence. In the first part of this talk, we discuss the extended Thomas-Fermi approach to study the macroscopic properties of exotic nuclei far from the beta-stability line such as the symmetry energy, neutron skin, and isovector dipole-resonance structure. In the second part, we analyze the nuclear shell structures using our improved periodic-orbit theory and discuss the significance of periodic-orbit bifurcations as a semiclassical origin of the superdeformed intermediate states (shape isomers) in fission processes.
