Alien-Looking Landscapes You Can Actually Visit on Earth
20. Red Beach, China – A Crimson Marshland Unlike Any Other
A beach without sand? In China’s Panjin Wetlands, the coastline is covered in a vast expanse of crimson-hued plants, creating a sea of red that stretches as far as the eye can see. The phenomenon is caused by a rare type of seagrass, Suaeda salsa, which turns deep red in the autumn months. The striking contrast of blood-red fields against the winding blue waterways makes it one of the most visually surreal landscapes on Earth.
