How to read this map
The Bohai Sea covers about 77,000 km² (29,700 sq mi) and reaches a maximum depth of about 30 m (98 ft). Countries with a coast on the Bohai Sea: China.
The blue outline marks the Bohai Sea as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Beijing, Tianjin, Shenyang, Dalian, Zibo, Qingdao, Jinan and Lianshan.
Greens show lower elevations; tan and brown show higher land, with pale tones toward the highest terrain. Shadows emphasize the slopes, and vertical relief is exaggerated so landforms are easier to read. Dashed lines show country borders.
The relief uses Terrain Tiles (SRTM, GMTED2010 and ETOPO1 elevation data). Rivers, lakes, borders and the outline of the Bohai Sea come from Natural Earth, and the figures on this page from Wikidata. Natural Earth draws features at a small scale, so the outline is a guide to where the Bohai Sea is, not a surveyed boundary.
