Red-blanketed beach in NE China

Tourists walk on a pile trestle above a beach on the Liaohe River Delta that has been blanketed by a red plant known as 'seepweed' in Panjin, Northeast China's Liaoning province, Sept 12, 2011. The red–carpet-like scene has attracted more than 5, 000 visits during this year's three-day holiday of Mid-Autumn Festival, starting from the night before the holiday began, on Sept 9, 2011. Each autumn the beach is covered by the seasonal red plant, attracting thousands of visitors. [Photo/Xinhua]
