The Korean Peninsula is located in the Northeast Asia.
It is bordered by the Amnok River (Yalu River) to the northwest, separating Korea from China, and the Duman River (Tumen River) to the northeast which separates Korea from both China and Russia.
The country itself is flanked by the Yellow Sea to its west and the East Sea to the east. There are several notable islands that surround the country including Jeju-do, Ulleung-do and Dok-do.

The Korean peninsula is roughly 1,030 km (612 miles) long and 175 km (105 miles) wide at its narrowest point. The land area is 99,200㎢ (38,301 square miles), and it has a population of 48.6 million people (2008).

Because of its unique geographical location, Korea is a very viable piece of land and an international hub of Asia.
