High-Quality Rice and River Crab Production Base with Red Beach

Panjin City lies in the southwest of Liaoning Province in the central area of the Liaohe River delta. It neighbors Anshan and Jinzhou and is separated from Yingkou by the Liaohe River in the southeast, facing southward to the Liaodong (Eastern Liaoning) Bay of the Bohai Sea. Panjin is an important petroleum and petrochemical industrial base in China where China’s third-largest oilfield Liaohe Oilfield is located. It also boasts producing high-quality rice and breeds river crabs in a large scale. Around October, the river crabs are fully mature and can be enjoyed. Gourmets must be crazy about the fresh and tender crab meat. But the most attractive is the world's wonder Red Beach which is woven by delicate Suaeda grasses that grow out of the ground in April every year. They are tender red at first, then become deep red and finally turn purple. Large areas of wetlands also lure many birds to inhabit or stop on the way of migration. In March and October, you can see a flock of birds seek food, rest, fly up or alight.
 

Panjin Attractions - Things to Do

The Red Beach refers to the top scenic area of the city in a 100 square kilometers (39 square miles) reed field of Dawa County.

Furthermore, wooden buildings in archaic style bring more elegance to the scenic area. The best time to visit Red Beach Panjin China is from mid September to mid October.
