The Jiaozhou Bay (Chinese: 胶州湾; German: Kiautschou-Bucht, 36°7′24.44″N 120°14′44.3″E / 36.1234556°N 120.245639°E) is a gulf located in Qingdao, China. It was a German colonial concession from 1898 until 1914.
Jiaozhou is the main town of the bay area, which was historically romanized as Kiaochow, Kiauchau or Kiao-Chau in English and Kiautschou in German.
Jiaozhou Bay is a natural inlet of the Yellow Sea (German: Gelbes Meer), with 10 to 15 meters depth to the seabed and deeper, dredged channels to three major ports around the bay: Qingdao, Huangdao, and Hongdao, all of which are ice-free during winter.
It is located on the southern coast of the Shandong Peninsula (German: Schantung-Halbinsel) in East China, and separates Huangdao District from Qingdao City and borders on Jiaozhou City.
