Red Seabeach, Wetland and tourist site in Panjin, Liaoning Province, China.
Red Seabeach extends across extensive wetlands within the Liaohe River Delta, where Sueda salsa plants create intense crimson colors during autumn months, forming an unusual natural landscape covering hundreds of thousands of hectares.
During China's Cultural Revolution, portions of these wetlands were converted for agricultural production and cereal cultivation, but conservation efforts beginning in the 1980s initiated restoration programs to protect the threatened ecosystem and its biodiversity.
The site serves as an important educational platform for environmental awareness, attracting photographers and nature observers who come to witness the seasonal red transformation and learn about wetland conservation efforts throughout the region.
Visitors should plan their trips between September and October when the Sueda plants display their most intense red pigmentation, and explore the area using designated wooden walkways that protect the delicate marsh environment.
The red coloration results from seasonal growth cycles of Sueda salsa algae that thrive in saline conditions, changing from green in spring to deep crimson in autumn, creating one of the world's most distinctive coastal wetland landscapes.
