The name of the Yellow Sea comes from the khaki color of its vast waters. Since the Yellow River has been injected into the Yellow Sea for more than 700 to 800 years in history, a small amount of sediment carried in the river has dyed the sea water near the Yellow Sea from blue to yellow. In the Korean environment, it is also called "West Sea" or "West Sea of Korea" because it is located on the west side of the Korean Peninsula. But China is usually called the "Yellow Sea" internationally.
