Liaodong Peninsula

Situated in northeast CHINA, Liaodong Peninsula (遼東半島) juts southward into two water bodies: Bo Hai (formerly called the Gulf of Chihli) to the west and the Korea Bay to the east. Korea Bay, located west of North Korea, is a northern extension of the Yellow Sea. Being the southern extent of Liaoning Province, Liaodong Peninsula is also the southern extent of Qian Mountains; standing over 1,130 meters, the peninsula's highest peak is Buyun Shan. Dalian is the largest city, and other cities include Gai Xian, Jiangjunshi, Langjiadian, Xinjin, Zhuanghe, and Wafangdian. Bays including Dalian Bay, Jinzhou Bay, and Pulandian Bay and islands such as the Changshan Archipelago (which includes Guanglu, Shicheng, and Zhangzi islands), Changxing, and Xizhong surround Liaodong Peninsula.
