Things to note when going to the North Island of the Paracel Islands

Things to note when going to the North Island of the Paracel Islands 1. There is no mobile phone signal in the Paracel Islands. If you want to contact the outside world, you can only go to Yongxing Island. The only post office is a public phone or IC card phone. There are no internet cafes on the island either.

2. Come to this magical island and sea. Be sure to bring cameras, camcorders, etc. and enough expansion cards, memory cards, and DV tapes. Professionals or photography enthusiasts are better off bringing a telephoto lens.

3. The boat going to the island can sometimes be very bumpy on the sea, so seasickness medicine is essential.

4. It is best to bring more dry food or favorite foods, as well as some fruits. There are very few choices of things to buy on the island.

5. The ultraviolet rays in Xisha are extremely strong, so it is best to prepare sunscreen with SPF40 or above. Mosquito coils, wind oil essence, cold, gastroenteritis, seasickness medicine, etc. must be carried with you.

6. Be sure to bring enough cash. The Industrial and Commercial Bank of Xisha is not connected to the mainland, so you cannot withdraw money there.
