The Bohai Sea is located in the Bohai Strait from Laotieshan Point on the Liaodong Peninsula to Penglai Point on the north coast of the Shandong Peninsula. It is connected with the Yellow Sea waters. There are Miaodao Islands stretching across the mouth of the strait, covering an area of ??77,000 square kilometers and an average water depth of 18 meters. The deepest point is 70 meters.

The Yellow Sea starts from the mouth of the Yalu River in the north, is divided from the East China Sea by the north bank of the Yangtze River Estuary in the south toward Jeju Island, and is connected to the Bohai Sea by the Bohai Strait in the west. The average water depth is 44 meters, the deepest point is 140 meters, and the area is 380,000 square kilometers. The seabed is a semi-enclosed shallow sea continental shelf.

The East China Sea stretches from the north bank of the Yangtze River to Jeju Island in the north, from Nan'ao, Guangdong Province to the southern end of the main island of Taiwan Province in the south, to the Okinawa Trough in the east (the Okinawa Trough is the boundary between the Okinawa Trough and Japan's territorial waters), and to Taiwan due east.
