People's Daily Online -- Tianjin Binhai New District: new engine of Bohai Bay-rim: "The Bohai Bay-rim economic region is made up of Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong and Liaoning, the so-called 3+2 area. Covering 518,000 square kilometers, the area, with a population of 230 million, or 17.5 percent of the national total, generates gross product of 3.8 trillion yuan, 28.2 percent of the country's total. There is another view that Shanxi and Inner Mogolia are also part of the Bohai Bay-rim area. However, it is generally agreed that, unlike the Pearl River Delta or the Yangtze River Delta, the Bohai Bay-rim is a complex economic region, integrating three economic sub-regions, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Shandong peninsula, and Liaoning peninsula."
