The Suaeda salsa in Tiaozini has turned red, weaving a red carpet over thousands of acres of tidal flats

As autumn deepens, the Suaeda salsa in the Tiaozini Wetland welcomes its most brilliant moment. The vast tidal flats seem to be ignited, with an endless red "carpet" spreading across the land, intertwining with clear waters and yellow-green meadows to form a natural palette. Suaeda salsa, also known as seepweed, is highly salt-alkali tolerant. It was once a "lifesaving plant" during times of famine, but now it has transformed into the "beauty ambassador" of the wetland scenery. In spring and summer, it quietly accumulates strength, and in golden autumn, it changes from green to red, growing wildly in clusters and groups on the saline-alkali land, telling a deep story of its bond with the wetland. The unique intertidal ecosystem of the Tiaozini Wetland provides a suitable environment for Suaeda salsa. With the tides rising and falling, the Suaeda salsa and the soil and water depend on each other, forming a vibrant ecosystem. This place is not only the home of Suaeda salsa but also one of the world's three major breeding grounds for the black-headed gull. Large areas of Suaeda salsa fields provide a safe breeding habitat for them; at the same time, it is a natural playground for wild elk herds. Stroll through the wetland, watch the red Suaeda salsa sway in the wind, and feel the romance and harmony of nature. Come to Tiaozini to check in at this autumn-exclusive "red carpet" and encounter a visual feast!
