Natural wonder
 Red Beach, Panjin City, China
Sent by Q from China

Red Beach One of the rarest sights in the world, China’s Panjin Red Beach lies within an enormous wetland on the bank of the Liaohe River in Liaoning Province. This 132 square-kilometre coastal nature reserve is home to over 260 species of birds, 399 other animal species and, of course, a landscape that is almost unreal. The startling crimson blanket resembles blood vessels and veins in the human body.
