RED BEACH: WORLD'S BIGGEST WETLAND ATTRACTING RARE BIRDS

PANJIN, Liaoning, Sept. 13,2017 /Xinhua-AsiaNet/--

Every autumn, Panjin Red Beach in the northeast of Bohai Bay of China is swarming with migratory birds. Nearly 100 kinds of rare birds, including the red-crowned cranes, white cranes, oriental white storks, wild geese and ducks, stop over at the marshland, resting and restoring strength for their southward flights for winter.

With the improvements to local ecology, a lot more birds have chosen to winter there, turning the land into a paradise of birds. It's the northernmost place where wild red-crowned cranes spend the winter. Not a sandy beach as its name indicates, Red Beach is the world's best-preserved marshland and has an important position in the study of bio-diversity and wetland preservation.
