Personal independent travel, how to go to the Paracel Islands. I hope someone who knows can give a detailed answer.

1. Conventional channels: Go to the Xisha Working Committee Haikou Sha No. 2 supply ship. The departure point is Wenchangqing Office and the Xisha Islands is processed for entry into Langgang in the name of inspection. The destination port is Yongxing Island in Xisha Islands and the voyage is 1 certificate. After getting permission, we take the bus for about 6 hours on the 28th of each month. This way to go to Xisha is the most formal and safe, otherwise it will be delayed until next month. However, in order to ensure that you have a seat on the boat, you must go through relevant procedures through some channels at least half a month in advance.

2. Alternative channels: Wenchang and Qiongqu in Hainan, but the cost will be relatively high, which will be reflected when sailing at sea. It is suitable for able-bodied young and middle-aged people to charter a fishing boat from the piers of Haihai, Lingshui and other places. This kind of time is long, because the fishing boats are small, and they can resist the wind and waves on the sea and ride on the experiential tourism activities. The travel method is the most novel and less capable for ordinary tourists. Tourists will suffer from seasickness and use chartered fishing boats to experience the outlying islands of Xisha. The inconvenience and limitation is that it is impossible to apply for an island entry permit (actually a Woody Island entry permit).
