Bohai Sea

The Bohai Sea is a shallow, almost enclosed sea between the Shandong and Liaodong peninsulas. Its waters open eastward to the Yellow Sea through the Bohai Strait and the channels among the Miaodao Islands. Rivers including the Yellow, Hai and Liao carry sediment into its broad bays, leaving a gently sloping seabed. To the north lies Liaodong Bay, to the west Bohai Bay and to the south Laizhou Bay, each reaching into the surrounding coast.
