Yellow Sea

The Yellow Sea(Chinese: ??; Korean: 황해), also called the West Sea in North and South Korea (서해), is the northern part of the East China Sea, which in turn is a part of the Pacific Ocean. It is located between Mainland China and the Korean peninsula. Its name comes from the sand particles that color its water, originating from the yellow river, Huang He.
