Binhai Road is beside the south seashore of Dalian city, which is one of the best roads for tour. Binhai Road was built in 1970s for combat readiness, which was guarded by army. Deng Xiaoping suggested to open it to tourists when he visited Dalian at the beginning of 1980s, from then on, it became a tour road.

Binhai Road is 32 kilometers long, running through 12 main sceneries along the coastline. Whenever spring blossoms come, if you drive on this road, you could see rolling ranges with mixed coniferous broad leaved forest and piedmont with red azalea on one side, and a wide expanse of misty waters on the other side, with reefs and islands in great variety of shapes and forms in it, all of these make the scenery extremely beautiful.

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 Red Beach 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”.

In order to keep the whole ecosystem safe, the area was granted state-level protection back in 1988. Even though most of the Red Beach is closed to the public, there still is a  small section that’s open for tourists. We can assure you that the photos below are not an example of infrared photography, it’s just one of those places that are hard to believe really exist!
