Pulandian Bay

Pulandian Bay cuts into the western side of the Liaodong peninsula, opening southwest toward the Bohai Sea. Low hills surround much of the inlet, and its shores alternate between tidal flats and raised terraces. The sheltered, shallow water and broad stretches of exposed ground have long made the bay's coast suitable for gathering salt. Beyond its mouth lie the sea routes that connect the shores of Liaodong with those of Shandong.
