The 黃海, or Yellow Sea, is a body of water located between China and the Korean Peninsula. It is part of the Pacific Ocean and is known for its shallow waters and rich marine life. The sea gets its name from the yellowish silt that is carried into it by the Yellow River. The Yellow Sea is an important area for fishing and shipping, supporting the economies of nearby countries. It also plays a significant role in regional climate patterns. Major cities like Dalian and Incheon are located along its shores, making it a vital route for trade and transportation.
