The 黄海, 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 and weather patterns. The sea is bordered by several major cities, including Dalian in China and Incheon in South Korea.
