Chinese wetland has beachgoers seeing red


We're used to a variety of colors of beaches, like black, pink, or nude--but red?

If you travel to China in the upcoming season, the fall, that's exactly what you'll see at the aptly named Red Beach in Panjin.

Located in the Liaohe River Delta in northeastern China, Red Beach is a protected reserve that attracts a lot of attention in the early fall, when its grass collectively blushes. The crimson flora is a variety of seepweed, a type of salt-tolerant grass, that turns red as it matures. It's most dramatic in September, when most tourists come to experience the organic Technicolor.


Raised walkways in the Red Beach sanctuary help visitors to keep off the vibrant grass.
