Panjin

Panjin is a city on the Liaoning coast facing the Yellow Sea. It is just north of Yingkou city. The area is famous for it's hairy crabs, which are a delicacy all over China. The main industry in the area, aside from fishing, is oil. Nodding donkeys are a common sight throughout the Panjin countryside. The land around Panjin is extremely flat. Near the sea, the land is covered with reeds. These provide habitat for man rare birds making Panjin popular with twitchers from all over the world. At the waters edge, the reeds change to mud flats. These flats are covered with and unusual type of seaweed that has a deep red colour. This is the famous Panjin Red Beach Nature Reserve.

The Red Beach in Panjin city, in the north east of China, is noted for its exceptional untamed life environments. Tall globules of reid are discovered up and down the shore front. This makes the range ideal for fowls of numerous sorts. At the shore front, the mud pads are secured with a red colored arrange that is specific to this region. The arrangement gives the shore the name by which it has gotten well known. Throughout the sunny season months an extraordinary numerous sorts of fledglings might be seen on the mud pads sustaining and settling. My visit to Panjin was late in October. The majority of the winged creatures had left; moving south for the winter. Likewise the frosty climate had seen off the final one of the brilliant red color of the shore, making for even more an orange shade.
