Located in a national AAAA-rated scenic area, Hongtan Wetland boasts more than 30 kilometers of coastline and a distinctive landscape shaped by the convergence of the Yellow River and the sea. The area is at its most picturesque in autumn, as vast stretches of Suaeda salsa transform the tidal flats into a vibrant red landscape.
