Panjin Beach

A Sea of Red 

One of the best kept secrets of Northeast China is the Panjin red beach in Liaoning Province.  The area is called the red beach because it is renowned for its fantastic shades of red from the blite plants that thrives in the area-especially when it goes from green to red in the summer time.  Thriving in salty waters, this plant turns from green to pink to a deep red the more sea water it sucks up.  Being one of the largest wetlands in the world, Panjin harbours 266 kinds of precious birds, including the red-crowned crane.  A broadwalk zigzags its way across the delta area where the Niao River flows into the sea.  This beautifully designed broadwalk offers a gorgeous view of the wetlands, especially when the sun is setting in the background.
