China Panjin

红海滩

A unique wetland in China famous for its vibrant red-colored seepweed sprawling across its shores, turning the area into a stunning crimson landscape.

Tips from the community

Not quite the usual beach, this unique space in Panjin China is a wetland aflame with the bright red seaweed called Sueda that has been likened to stepping on Mars. There are 18 kilometres of beach and various scenic spots to catch, although you’ll have to visit in the fall (ideally mid-September to mid-October) to catch the red shades as they’re green in the Summer. Home to the world’s most completed ecosystem, with 400 species of wild animals and 260 types of birds including the endangered Crown Cranes and Black Beaked Gulls, there’s a lot to see in this incredible, natural space. Situated in Liaoning Province, an hourly bus goes from the city. Get there in the morning for the best pictures.

If you took a regular beach, put it in the upside down from Stranger Things, but then subtracted all of the scary stuff — I imagine it would look like this. Without any sand or blue waters, it’s a bit confusing as to why Panjin Red Beach has the name it does. Either way, this wetland and reed march is the world’s largest and provides stunning sights thanks to the Sueda plants that turn it a vibrant shade of red in autumn.
