Korea(n) Bay, sometimes West Korea(n) Bay (; ; pronounced as /ko/ or pronounced as /ko/), is a bight and the northern extension of the Yellow Sea,[1] between the southeastern coastline of China's Liaoning Province and the western coastline of North Korea's North Pyongan, South Pyongan and South Hwanghae provinces.[2] It is separated from the Bohai Sea by the Liaodong Peninsula, with Dalian's Lüshunkou District marking its western end, and westernmost tip of North Korea's Ryongyon County as its eastern end.[3] [4]

The Yalu (Amnok) River, which marks the western two-thirds of the China–North Korea border, empties into the Korea Bay between Dandong (China) and Sinŭiju (North Korea).[5] [6] The Chongchon River and Taedong River also drains into the Korea Bay at Sinanju and Nampo, respectively.
