A Red Beach Made of Small Plants
The broad sweep of colour begins with the leaves of a salt-tolerant plant, not with red sand.
Panjin Red Beach
The colour comes from Suaeda plants growing on coastal flats, rather than red sand. Their pigments and growing conditions make this a seasonal landscape, while the channels between patches explain how water reaches the marsh. Separate stories follow the plant itself and the work of restoring its habitat.
