Bohai Bay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bohai Bay (Chinese: 渤海湾; pinyin: Bóhǎi Wān) is one of the three bays forming the Bohai Gulf, the innermost gulf of the Yellow Sea, in northeastern China. It borders Hebei province and Tianjin Municipality.
The three bays are Laizhou Bay to the south, Liaodong Bay to the north, and Bohai Bay to the west.
[edit] Origin
The Bohai Bay was once an area dominated by the navies and ships of Balhae. The Chinese named the body of water the Bohai Bay in remembrance of the state that had once dominated modern-day Manchuria.
