About Xisha

If you don’t visit Xisha, you won’t know the magic of the sea.

The Xisha Islands can satisfy all your fantasies about the sea.

The first time many people really saw Xisha was in the documentary "Aerial Photography of China".

When the fog dissipates, you will see beautiful islands in front of you, like pearls scattered in the South China Sea.

The first sight of the sea of ??glass, which rivals the Maldives and Bali, is enough to make you fall in love.

It is just like what was described in Andersen's fairy tale, "In the distance of the sea, the water is so blue, like the petals of the most beautiful cornflowers, and at the same time so clear, like the brightest cornflower petals." Glass".

The visibility of the water in Xisha is as high as 30 meters, and the deep green can show seven colors under the sunlight. This is a scene that can only be seen in the South China Sea.

This time I want to have fun and realize my dream of the South China Sea on the Nanhai Dream cruise ship, boarding the ship at the Sanya Phoenix Island International Cruise Terminal.

Floors 7-8 on the cruise ship are the main guest areas and tourist activity areas. Rooms, restaurants, supermarkets, front desks and small cinemas are all located on these two floors. The 9th floor is the accommodation area for the ship's staff, and the 10th floor is the deck where you can enjoy the sea breeze, watch movies and attend parties.

There are many types of cruise breakfast, including pickles, hot dishes, porridge, steamed buns, bread, etc. There are hot dishes, salads, fruits, soups, staple dishes, desserts, etc. for lunch and dinner. The style of hot dishes changes every day, so everyone will not feel tired.

Next is our official itinerary~

The cruise ship started to leave the port and headed for the Paracel Islands. It took about 13 hours of sailing to get there. The reason why it took so long was, firstly The distance itself is there, and the second is that the ship is large in tonnage. Only when it is driven slowly can it be stable. If it is driven fast, the shaking will be obvious.

After a night, we started to land on the island in the morning, because everyone is extremely afraid of the sun on the island, and no one wants to become Louis Koo. Some uncles and aunts first apply a layer of isolation, then a layer of sunscreen lotion, and finally spray three, four, five, or six layers of sunscreen spray. After putting on their hats and masks, they still walk out of the room anxiously. Hahaha, put on a life jacket first, and then Take the shuttle boat to Quanfu Island.

The cruise ship is docked in the middle of the sea. The islands we visited are very low in altitude and cannot be approached by the cruise ship, so we rely on shuttle boats to travel between the cruise ship and the island.

We were at Quanfu Island on a surprise day!

Quanfu Island is uninhabited and has a very low altitude. The shape of the island will change due to the wind. The color of the sea water is beautiful because of its rich layering.

If you dare to ask how white the beach here is, I will say unceremoniously: Take off your glasses and blind your eyes.

After returning to Quanfu Island, the South China Sea cruise ship is docked at sea at night, so we can stay on the deck as late as we want, drink coconut juice, blow the sea breeze, and make friends lock up.

You can also enjoy the wonderful performances brought by Xiangle Time: cheerful dances, beautiful folk songs or performances of national musical instruments.

Of course there is also the birthday cake we prepared for our uncle and aunt~

A day full of rituals on Yinyu Island

I finally went to Yinyu Island this morning. I finally got to participate in the legendary flag-raising ceremony.

Yinyu Island is not big, with fine white sand, and there are eight or nine households guarding the island. They live on the island, open a small restaurant and sell handicrafts. The houses on the island are brick houses, and the neighborhood committee is located in a three-story building. It is said that during the typhoon season, residents of the entire island and Yagong Island will come here to take shelter.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, we held a flag-raising ceremony. When we listened to the national anthem and watched the five-star red flag gradually fluttering, our eyes suddenly became wet.

The uncles and aunts around were singing the national anthem, but some did not dare to sing. It was obvious that they were afraid of crying if they did.

After the flag-raising ceremony, we started sightseeing on the island. There is an extremely precious place on the island, the desert oasis. The soil is transported from Hainan. Green plants are planted here. Although it is not big, the local People say they can only grow so big. Although they are small, they are quite precious.

There are about a dozen boats of different colors scattered on the beach and the beach on Yinyu Island, which are great for taking pictures.

The good times always go by too fast~ Here are the photos and videos of today’s Xisha tour on December 20th! Come and take a look at the reviews of groups A, B, C, D, and E~
