In search of Panjin's Red Wetland(4/5)

Autumn is the time when color explodes across the different regions of China. While most travelers get their backpacks ready in pursuit of the golden brown leaves of the west, some set their eyes on a stretch of maddening red wetland in Panjin, northeast China's Liaoning province. Every year, from September to October, the immense coverage of seepweed in Yueyawan Wetland Park in Panjin changes color, from luscious green to flaming red to deep purple. A wooden bridge has been constructed, which meanders its way into the heart of the thick red carpet of seepweed, allowing visitors to walk across the scenery and take a closer look for themselves. Boats are also available for a slow sail across this temporary sea of red.
