On August 15, 2015, the "First Panjin Red Beach National Scenic Corridor Self-Driving Tourism Culture Festival" grandly opened at the Red Beach National Scenic Corridor.
Set against the naturally formed wonder of the Red Beach, the Panjin Red Beach National Scenic Corridor highlights its two major tourism resources—hot springs and wetlands. With the theme of "Developing Towards the Sea, Fully Transforming, and Building a New Coastal Panjin," it is making strides toward the ambitious goal of becoming an "attractive international tourist destination." This self-driving tourism culture festival aims to deeply explore the ecological and tourism cultural characteristics, enhance the scenic area's promotional marketing, showcase the natural scenery and wetland culture of the Panjin Red Beach, and attract more self-driving enthusiasts to visit and fall in love with the Red Beach.
It is reported that the Beijing Hundred-Car Self-Driving Tour to the Panjin Red Beach National Scenic Corridor is currently the largest self-driving event ever held at the Red Beach Scenic Area. The author had the privilege of joining the convoy for a full experience. The scenery along the Red Beach Corridor is breathtaking, stretching 18.115 kilometers—an unparalleled "World Red Coastline." It is also known as "China’s Most Spectacular Leisure Corridor" and "China’s Most Romantic Recreational Coastline," making it especially suitable for self-driving tours. The green reed marshes and red seepweed contrast beautifully, attracting hundreds of bird species to live and breed here. The vast and magnificent natural landscape also left self-driving tourists in awe, with many saying it was truly a trip worth taking.
