Editing Yellow Sea (section)

==Names==
It is one of four seas named after color terms (the others being the [[Black Sea]], the [[Red Sea]] and the [[White Sea]]), and its name is descriptive of the golden-yellow color of the [[silt]]-ridden water discharged from major rivers.

The innermost bay of northwestern Yellow Sea is called the [[Bohai Sea]] (previously Gulf of [[Zhili province|Zhili]] / [[North Zhili|Beizhili]]), into which flow some of the most important rivers of [[northern China]], such as the [[Yellow River]] (through [[Shandong]] province and its capital [[Jinan]]), the [[Hai River]] (through [[Beijing]] and [[Tianjin]]) and the [[Liao River]] (through [[Liaoning]] province). The northeastern extension of the Yellow Sea is called the [[Korea Bay]], into which flow the [[Yalu River]], the [[Chongchon River]] and the [[Taedong River]].
