The Chinese word 沿海 (yánhǎi) is composed of two characters: 沿 (yán) and 海 (hǎi). The character 沿 means "along" or "following", while the character 海 means "sea". Together, they form the word 沿海, which means "along the coast" or "coastal".The word 沿海 is often used to describe areas that are located on the coast of a sea or ocean. For example, the city of Shanghai is located on the coast of the East China Sea, so it is often referred to as a 沿海城市 (yánhǎi chéngshì) or "coastal city".The word 沿海 can also be used to describe activities that take place along the coast. For example, 沿海旅游 (yánhǎi lǚyóu) means "coastal tourism", and 沿海贸易 (yánhǎi màoyì) means "coastal trade".The word 沿海 is a common word in Chinese, and it is used in a variety of contexts. It is an important word for HSK learners to know, as it can be used to describe a variety of places and activities.
