‪#‎AwesomeWorld‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ Sand is probably the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about #Beach. However, this is not the case with the #Panjin Red Beach in #China, which is, actually red, and not covered in sand at all. Such phenomena is caused by a type of sea weed #Sueda. It starts growing during April and May, then stays green during the summer, but starts turning vividly red in autumn. The #RedBeach is located in the biggest wetland and reed marsh in the world, and actually hosts the most completed ecosystem that can be found. The area has become home to more than 260 kinds of birds and 399 kinds of wild animals. You can find the endangered Crown Cranes and Black Beaked Gulls there, which is why the area is even called “Home of the Cranes”. (Image copyrights belong to their respective owners)
