The East china sea

east of the mainlond leads the country's sea areas in resources. Countiyeous to the Huanghai in the north. Jhapan's Ryukyu islands in the east and the south china sea on the southern edge of the taiwan straits in the south it has an area of 770000 square kilometers an average depth of 370 metres wide in the north and narrow in the south. the part of its bottem on the line from Taiwan to the north west of the wudao Islands is basically part of the continental shelf while southeast of the liune is the continental slope and trench. Its deepest point is at the Okonawa Trench whose maximum depth is 2719 metres strung out along its zigzag mainland coastline are a labyrinth of bays and island. The biggest bay is Hangzhou Bay and the major island are Taiwan island . The zhoushan. Archipelago the penghu Islands.

Seas

Washed by seas in the east and southeast china's coast along its mainland one of the largest of any country in the world running 18,000 kilometers from the mouth of the Yolu River on the chinese korean border in the nearth to mouth of the Beilul River on the chinese- Vietnamse border in the south.The Island coasts of course make china's total coastline even longer
The eastern part of the chines mainland is flanked from north to south by the bohai the Huanghai the east china and the south china and the south china seas all which merge with pacific Ocean of these the south china sea is a deep sea basin the rest are on the shallow continental shelf. The eastern coast of Taiwan Island is bounded directly by the pacific south of Hangzhou Bay The coast is mountainous except for the zhujiang river Delta, the Tianjin River Delta, the Leibniz peninsula and to their west Beirut Bay- all of which have flat coasts. North of the Hangzhou Bay most of the coast is flat broken by mountainous shorelines in the shandong peninsula and the Toxin Mountain Area Flat coasts stretch along western Taiwan and northern Hanan while mountainous coasts line Taiwan's eastern shore and Taiwan's southern Shore the mountainous coast throughout China are favored with many island and big deep natural harbors. The flat coasts- even and straight with gentle and smooth train- provide wide possibilities for developing moraine fishery salt industry aquaculture and offshore mining industry.
Famous part are from north to south, Dalian, Qingdao, Tianjin, Yantai Qingdao, Zhanyungang Hikou and Beijing as well as Jilong and Gaoxiong in Taiwan.SeasSeas
