East China Sea, which in turn is a marginal sea of the Pacific Ocean. It is located between mainland China and the Korean peninsula. Its name comes from the sand particles that color its water, originating from the Yellow River.
The innermost bay of the Yellow Sea is called Bohai Sea (previously Pechihli Bay or Chihli Bay). Into it flows both the Yellow River (through Shandong province and its capital Jinan) and Hai He (through Beijing and Tianjin).
Liaodong Bay, between the Chinese Liaoning province and northwestern North Korea is also part of the Yellow Sea.
Bohai Sea and Liaodong Bay are separated by Liaodong Peninsula, with Dalian at its southernmost point.
Environment
The intertidal mudflats of the Yellow Sea are of great importance for migratory waders or shorebirds. Surveys show that the area is the single most important site for these birds on northward migration in the entire East Asian - Australasian Flyway, with a minimum number of two million birds passing through at the time, with about half that number using it on southward migration.
