What's the scenery like in Xisha Islands?

Standing by the sea and looking at the sea, you can't detect anything with limited vision. But if you play carefully, you will be amazed at the richness of products here. Xisha Islands is the main tropical fishing ground in China, with more than 400 species of coral fish and marine fish. It is an important fishing ground for tuna, mackerel, red fish, bonito, flying fish and grouper. You won't be disappointed to come fishing here.

There are more than 40 species of birds inhabiting the island, and thousands of seabirds hover over the coastal tung forest and the pittosporum all day. Even more interesting is the fishermen's favorite "navigation bird"-boobies. During the day, fishermen set sail and cast nets to fish according to the gathering and feeding direction of boobies. At night, they sailed the fishing boat from the vast sea to a nearby island along the route they flew back.

In Xisha Islands, to appreciate the charm of coral reefs, you can choose to go to Qilianyu. Among the seven small islands in Qilianyu, the distance between them is only a few hundred meters, and the distance between them is only one or two nautical miles. The shallows by the sea are covered with endless shells and shells. In the bright sunshine, the transparency of seawater visible to the naked eye is 30-40 meters away, making it an excellent diving place. Due to the high transparency of shallow sea water, when snorkeling, you can clearly see clusters of corals blooming like flowers on the seabed, including golden antlers, snow-white sunflower corals and bright red corals, as well as colorful tropical fish swimming among corals. These beautiful little fish are not afraid of people. Instead of avoiding them, they flock around us as if watching something new.

In fact, as early as a few years ago, a niche market has been formed by visiting Xisha. Tourists are generally familiar with Hainan's islands, and the general island tour can no longer satisfy them, and they are eager to travel in depth. They rent fishing boats or board supply ships through contacts, drift at sea for 20 hours or more, endure seasickness, vomiting and sunburn, and take unknown risks just to appreciate the original beauty of Xisha first. This kind of travel is dangerous and not worth promoting. Now that Xisha tourism has been opened to ordinary tourists, people can choose a more comfortable, safe and responsible way to travel.

Compared with other well-developed islands, in the mysterious waters of Xisha, we can only enjoy pure natural fun, but the natural scenery is the purpose of this trip. Many holiday paradise have achieved commercial success. Only Xisha, a pure original ecology, can keep the soul as young as a wanderer.
