Panjin Red Beach, China

Prepare your cameras. Red Beach is found in Panjin, a city in the Liaoning province of China, about a six-hour drive from Beijing. But despite the name, there isn't any sand to be found here.

The area is located in one of the largest wetlands in the world, which mysteriously transforms into a stunning red color every autumn, according to Smithsonian Magazine. Well, it's not magic. It turns red because a species of seepweed grows there and has a high saline absorption capacity. It turns crimson as it absorbs the seawater from the surroundings.

The seepweed initially appears green in the spring, but over the course of the summer, it gradually turns another shade, eventually turning a deep red in the fall.

Every fall, a large number of tourists - more than two million, according to CNN - flock to the region for the stunning scenery and, of course, photo opportunities. Aside from Red Beach, the region is home to 260 bird species and is well-known for rice and bamboo shoots.

Depending on where you are in mainland China, you can get to Panjin by bus or train. When you arrive, take the designated walkway through the wetlands to enjoy the beach's beauty.

And every fall, a large number of tourists - more than two million, according to CNN - visit. The best time to visit the lovely beach is in October. If you arrive too early, the seepweed will be less red, and if you arrive too late, they may have died off for the year.
