An archipelago located in eastern China, between Penglai County on the Shandong Peninsula and Dalian City at the tip of the Liaodong Peninsula. Stretching from northeast to southwest, it separates the Bohai Sea to the northwest from the Yellow Sea to the southeast. It is thought to have been formed when the Osawa Mountains of the Shandong Peninsula and the Qianshan Mountains of the Liaodong Peninsula collapsed. It is made up of about 20 islands, including Miaodao Island, South and North Changsha Islands, and Da and Xiaoqin Islands, and is a major fishing base and a key location for navigation. Administratively, it belongs to Changdao County, Yantai, Shandong Province. [Shoichi Komai] Source: Shogakukan Encyclopedia Nipponica About Encyclopedia Nipponica Information | Legend |
