Where is Cologne Island? Cologne island travel guide

The Philippines is a country composed of thousands of islands. There are many islands that are very suitable for sightseeing, and there are also some places suitable for diving. So which of these islands are suitable for tourism? Share with you the absolute value of an island.

Where is Cologne Island?

Cologne, translated as Cologne Island in Chinese, is located on Busanga Island in the north of Palawan Province in the central and western Philippines. The population is about 50,000, and the main industries are tourism and fishing. Cologne was once one of the important military ports of the Japanese army during the First World War. The American army sank more than 20 Japanese warships in this air raid, so it is famous for sinking ships and diving in the world.

What I saw on the plane was not an island, but a white beach.

Why cologne?

As we all know, there are more than 7,000 islands in the Philippines. Married with children, Xian Yi, young and old, must find a place with relatively convenient transportation and relatively perfect accommodation and catering. Of course, the most important thing is to have characteristics, be sure to have characteristics, and don't look at popular scenery. After staying in a tour group for many days, with the help of friends, we finally chose Keren Island in palawan island. There are three reasons:

First, the transportation is relatively convenient.

When I say the transportation is relatively convenient, I mean there is no need to change trains. I can't bear to take a long-distance bus. It's convenient to get off the plane in less than an hour.

The flight to Cologne is a propeller plane with less than 80 seats.

Second, the folk customs are relatively simple.

Not many tourists come to Cologne. The local people have relatively little contact with the outside world and the folk customs are relatively simple. It's easier to see a smile by showing white teeth.

Although the house is simple, the children still laugh happily.

Third, the scenery is great.

Cologne's scenery is not covered, no matter on the ground or under the sea, the sunset on Cross Mountain, the beautiful scenery of the national lake Kaiyanggen Lake and the colorful corals in the underwater world attract me.

What to play in Cologne?

Seven saltwater lakes in Cologne Island are surrounded by steep rock walls, the most famous of which are "the cleanest lake in the Philippines" and Lake Kaiyanggen, also known as the "national lake" in the Philippines. Cologne Island has more than 15 diving spots and is rich in marine life.

There are four sea routes in Cologne. For convenience, the locals call it ABCD four lines for short.

Route A: Kelun Island Tour Route A The main scenic spot route is Kayangan Lake-Double Lagoon-Sietepecadoskizzi Island-Small sunken ship with skeleton-Coral Garden Coral Garden-CYC Beach. It takes about 15 to 30 minutes to reach each destination, which is the closest to Cologne town among the four routes.

B: Island tour. This route mainly looks at the beach, plays the island, and goes to Malakuri Malakuri-Banana-Malalapua. It takes about one and a half hours to reach the destination.

Line C: Reef shipwreck trip This line goes snorkeling in the famous Luzon shipwreck. The sunken truffle is close to the sea and is one of the few scenic spots in the world. Snorkeling can touch the sunken ship. Coral is very beautiful. The time to reach the destination is also about one and a half hours.

D: I hope to visit Rajet Wildlife Park and Busanga Bay Island. This route is mainly to Calauit Island to see animals, such as zebras and giraffes. It takes a long time by boat. It takes two to four hours by bus. It's too far, and few people go.

This paper introduces the basic situation of Cologne and shares some practical strategies and experiences. I hope that after reading this article, you will plant cologne.

Matters needing attention in cologne crushing

Air tickets, visas and foreign exchange for domestic departure are all in my last article, saying that the Philippines is poor and backward. Is that so? Let you see the real Manila. The introduction is more detailed, so I won't go into details here.

1. Air ticket-Manila to Busanga

Yes, you're right. You need to fly to Busanga instead of Cologne. Cologne is not open to the public, so people can only live in Cologne, which is located in Busanga Island (tongue twister? What a mouthful! )

Busanga Airport is a very small airport. Can only take off and land propeller planes, no baggage conveyor belt. Loading and unloading luggage depends entirely on manpower.

However, the ticket to Busanga is really expensive. Generally, one-way tickets are above 700 yuan, so you can buy them as soon as you see the promotion. There are not many opportunities. After watching the promotion for half a year, nine people bought tickets in seven orders, because the special tickets were almost put one by one. In the end, nine people flew to Busanga by two planes.

2. Free Manila Airport T3 to T4 Dafa

Is it true that the Philippines is poor and backward? Let you see the real Manila. In the comments section of the article, some fans asked how Manila Airport changed from T3 to T4. Let's stop here.

A. Free bus: Take exit T3 to the international arrival area, turn left facing the boarding gate, and don't leave the airport. Go straight to the end through the escalator on the third floor. Follow the sign of "terminal transfer" and you will see it.

This free transfer bus at the airport operates 24 hours a day, but the arrival time of the vehicle cannot be estimated, sometimes it takes one hour. Suitable for people who are not in a hurry. But it's really close. The bus will pass by the airport and you can see all kinds of planes from different countries at close range.

Follow the signs to find the free shuttle bus.

B. Toll bus: Turn right when you get out of the arrival hall and find 14 post. It's right next to the waiting area, but you can only take T4 and T3 (not T 1). When you get on the bus, the driver will ask you the next flight number responsibly. This toll bus runs from 6 am to 2 am the next day. Don't ask me how much it costs. I didn't sit down. I don't know.

Taxi C: After leaving the airport, look for "BAY 12" on the right and take the yellow airport taxi "Taxi". These are all vehicles managed by the airport. Before getting on the bus, the taxi service manager at the airport will register your destination and license plate number in triplicate, and then give you and the driver one. The ticket is also printed with the vehicle rate and emergency telephone number.

3. From Busanga Airport to the town

There will be a minibus at the airport, and the fare is 150p. Just tell the driver the name of the hotel and it will be sent to the door of the hotel. In other words, you can't see the sea all the way. It's all vast grasslands and cattle. I thought I was on the grassland.

4. Hotel accommodation

There are no luxury hotels in Cologne and the facilities are poor. Pick any one that fits the budget and close your eyes. The Sunzencoron Resort where I live is run by a Korean. Clean and tidy, rich breakfast, spicy noodles. This is a set breakfast. You can order any number of TV sets. Deluxe edition needs 40P. Here, we met several people from Fujian. They said it was their first 13 trip to Cologne, and they envied my mother. The hotel is a little far from the town center, about 20 minutes' walk. Although it's not far, they don't have enough physical strength when they come back from the sea every day, and they always take the tutu bus. This hotel provides free cars to the city center. If you encounter a return trip, send it back to the hotel for free. When we arrived, the signal tower on the mountain was broken, there was no WIFI, and the cell phone signal was not good. After a few days of primitive life without internet, I swam with my baby every night, chatted with my parents and counted the stars in the sky.

Breakfast is at the hotel, lunch is at the seaside, and only dinner is outside. I haven't tried several restaurants among online celebrities, but I found one in public comments. It tastes good and the price is ok. The name of this restaurant is "Lolononoy'sfoodstation".

set out on a voyage

Two ways, charter a boat or join a group. There are many people, so I choose to charter a boat. Every morning, the boatman will pick me up at the hotel and go to the market to buy meat, seafood, vegetables and fruits. When we play, the boatman will prepare dinner for us. I think everything is delicious, especially pineapple. It's too sweet, just like a can.

7. Underwater world

Can you call it beauty? I have been to Thailand and Malaysia many times and have never seen such beautiful corals. My favorite one is Banana Island, and the other is a sunken ship. A few meters off the coast of Banana Island are all kinds of fish, and then 10 to 20 meters are colorful corals. Personally, snorkeling is enough. It's really a brand-new world, with fewer people, more fish and more corals. The sunken ship is closer.
