Hongshiya's red beach flashes ecological splendor in early autumn

Along the shores of Jiaozhou Bay, the seepweed at Hongshiya subdistrict's red beach has burst into brilliant red hues. Winding tidal creeks weave through the bright red plants, while old, quiet boats rest against a backdrop of a bright blue sea and clear water.

Flocks of water birds forage and inhabit the area, showcasing the remarkable results of local wetland ecological restoration. Together, the interwoven rivers and sea frame a harmonious coastal ecosystem where nature thrives in breathtaking colors.
