How to travel to Xisha

There are two modes of transportation to choose from in Xisha: flying in the sky and flying by plane; One kind of swimming at sea is a boat. If it doesn't matter to you, if you are not a senior government official, please don't consider the first way. It is difficult for ordinary tourists to fly to Yongxing Island. It is a means of transportation for senior state officials to visit Xisha and politicians on the island. Generally, people can only go to the island by boat, which can be divided into two ways: the conventional way is to take the "Qiongsha No.3" passenger and cargo ship to and from Qinglan Port in Wenchang City, Hainan Island and Yongxing in Xisha Islands; Another way is to hire local fishermen's fishing boats in Wenchang or Qionghai. The cost is a bit expensive, but it is not a problem for many people to share, but the experience is not as good as that of "Qiongsha III". "Qiongsha No.3" docked in Xisha, but the latter road is too dangerous to go to Xisha. In today's society of "life first, freedom second and money third", we still choose a safer road and suggest taking "Qiongsha III"! "Qiongsha No.3" Most people's trip to Xisha begins with a passenger and cargo ship named "Qiongsha No.3". Passenger and cargo ships between Hainan and Xisha were officially launched in the late 1970s. At that time, the passenger and cargo ship responsible for the maiden voyage was the predecessor of Qiongsha No.3-the 2000-ton Qiongsha. The Qiongsha sailed at sea for 13 hours and finally arrived at Yongxing Island Wharf. From then on, officers and men on the island can eat fresh fruits and vegetables on time, and they can travel to and from Hainan by ship smoothly. There are more than 100 people on board the "Qiongsha III" every time, and everyone is not surprised by the overcrowding of the "Qiongsha III". People who don't have shipping space will take out the straw mats that have been prepared on the ship to occupy a place or lie or sit, and the decks and passages are crowded with people. It's like walking through thousands of troops to go to the toilet or get boiled water once. In the first month, so many people traveled between Xisha and Hainan Island, including officers and men on Yongxing Island, salespeople working in committees and offices in West, China and Nansha, fishermen on the island, and migrant workers who contributed to the construction of Yongxing Island. It is not easy for them to go home once. On this small island surrounded by the sea, "Qiongsha III" is the only medium to contact their families. People in West, South and zhongsha islands all call "Qiongsha III" the lifeline, because its arrival means the arrival of many "fresh": fresh vegetables, fresh meat, fresh things and fresh faces. The crew of "Qiongsha No.3" are very enthusiastic, and the captain, political commissar and chief engineer are amiable, because the ship is often overcrowded. Every time they sail, there will be three or five people in their rooms playing on the floor, but they still stand on their posts without complaint. The most difficult thing on the ship should be the cook. No matter how bumpy the ship is, whether he is seasick or not, he will cook three meals a day for the crew. Don't think it's so simple. After a bumpy night on the boat, you can appreciate his greatness by tasting it. It is said that the cook, first mate and third mate on board are all old militiamen who participated in the 1974 Xisha naval battle, which is really admirable. "Qiongsha No.3" is a supply ship for the west, south and zhongsha islands, and almost all the daily necessities and mails on the island are transported by "Qiongsha No.3". "Qiongsha 3" currently goes back and forth twice a month, but due to the unstable weather in Xisha, this timetable is not fixed. The exact sailing time is usually decided the night before sailing. For all the people on the island, all this has become commonplace, but for those who travel to the island, the impact is great. Therefore, few people go to Xisha for the purpose of tourism. Wenchang Qinglan Port is 0/84 nautical miles away from Yongxing Island/kloc-0, and the ship needs to travel 15 hours. Under normal circumstances, the "Qiongsha No.3" will choose to sail around 5~6 pm, because the ship does not provide passengers with meals. In order to avoid the inconvenience of passengers eating on the ship, passengers can have dinner before boarding at night, and then they can go to Yongxing Island after sleeping. Doing so can reduce the pain of seasickness of passengers, and secondly, it can reduce the chance of making instant noodles bags, beverage bottles and other marine garbage on the way. At present, the tickets of "Qiongsha III" are not sold to ordinary tourists. All those who want to go to Xisha can only set foot on Xisha in the name of tourists through specific unit arrangements, and tourists are only limited to China citizens. At present, there are two ways to investigate "Qiongsha III". One is to handle it through a travel agency entrusted to investigate in Xisha; Second, go to Southwest zhongsha islands Development and Construction Corporation to contact directly for registration. The expenses and arrangements are the same, but the difference is that the travel agency finally handed over your information to Southwest zhongsha islands Development and Construction Corporation.
