Red Beach National Scenic Corridor
红海滩国家风景廊道
A national 5A scenic area where suaeda (sea blite) turns the Liao River estuary tidal flats a vast red. Boardwalks connect the reeds, the bay and the seaside, and autumn is the most beautiful season.
The Red Beach National Scenic Corridor lies along the Liaodong Bay coast in Dawa District, Panjin. It stretches about 18 km and comprises Red Beach, the Reed Sea, a wetland viewing area and the seaside. Each April, suaeda breaks through the soil and gradually shifts from green to purplish red, reaching its reddest from September to early October. Together with reed marshes, tidal creeks and seawater, it forms a spectacular red wetland landscape and is one of China's best-known photography destinations. Admission and sightseeing shuttle tickets are required (subject to official announcements). By car, you can stop at viewing platforms along the corridor. Allow half a day to a full day. Visitors may only view the scenery from boardwalks and observation platforms, and trampling the suaeda is strictly prohibited.
