What are the interesting islands in the Philippines?

I recommend a relatively unpopular island-Sirgao. In addition to the locals, there are many European and American tourists on the island, but there are really few tourists from China. Because everyone's activities are in Binhai Street, the probability of meeting again is relatively high. Maybe I saw it while surfing in the morning and played in the same bar at night.

It's cool to put the surfboard on the motorcycle next time you go.

Pink-purple night

99% of people who come to Siagao want to be ronin. There are many surfing spots here, the most famous of which is the "cloud nine" called by local friends in China. A very romantic name always reminds people of the burning clouds that dispersed without a glance at countless nights.

I went at the end of September, 20 19, mainly to relax and experience surfing, so I didn't go to the professional class that started a few days ago. If you have enough time, it is strongly recommended to take systematic lessons at a surfing school, which will greatly improve your coolness when surfing the surfboard. Trust me. In addition, in terms of food, housing and transportation, there are more foreigners who eat, and some surfing activities are held every year. Therefore, there are restaurants offering international cuisine on the island, so if you are not used to local cuisine, there are many choices; Yes, we booked a B&B on Airbnb, and the average person is around 200-300, so we can have a good life. Ok, we rented a motorcycle. Although it didn't completely go around the island, it was quite convenient. If we walk, our activities will be restricted, or we can join a group with others. The organizer will contact the car to take everyone to a place with better scenery. Other islands also have regular recreational activities, such as island jumping and so on. We also explored some small projects, but because of the long time, we forgot one thing.

Let's talk about surfing first, and have the opportunity to experience two waves. Share my feelings here:

First of all, my situation: I can't swim. I can't swim, so I finally stood up. There are several long-distance rides, and because I don't know the relevant knowledge, I can't predict the danger. Now it seems terrible.

If you are like me, then go down ~

Wave point 1: cement

Official level: intermediate

Personal feeling: this is the first wave point I tried, and it didn't get up at all. Oh, I didn't try to get up once, but it didn't work. I was overweight and fell into the water. The water depth in that area is at least 1.7 meters. I can't step on water. I felt almost drowned at that time, and I can still remember that terrible feeling now.

How about the waves: According to my boyfriend, the waves here are better than those in the cloud nine, so I have no right to speak.

Experience: communicate with the coach in advance about your situation, such as whether you can swim, whether you are afraid of water, and the depth is acceptable. It's better to find a coach who can speak Chinese or a Filipino coach with good English, which is more convenient to communicate; In the morning, you usually go to the surf spot from 5: 00 to 6: 00 to adjust your physical condition. It is best not to go to hypoglycemia or even halo on an empty stomach.

Wave point 2: Cloud 9?

Official level: professional level (expert)

Personal feelings: I played in Jiuduyun three times, stood up for the first time, fell in love with it out of control, and went there every day. I feel that although Jiuduyun is the wave point of international competitions, there is also a novice-friendly area where most people play. As for the water depth, the water depth was below the coach's shoulder when I took off and my waist when I jumped off the springboard. Sisters can refer to my 1.6 meter appearance.

How about the waves: Not very steady, but enough for beginners. If you can swim or know some surfing skills, you can go to a higher wave place. (This evaluation is too watery)

Experience: the bottom of the nine clouds is a reef, so it is best to wear a surfing suit with long sleeves and trousers. Be sure to pay attention when falling into the water, stand still or tuck your knees to avoid scratches. Of course, a few bumps are inevitable, so just pay more attention; After surfing, you must come to the seaside shop to buy a cup of instant coffee. When it is hot, it will heat up immediately, and you will feel that this is the best, happiest and simplest coffee you have ever drunk. There are many handsome guys on the trestle. I guess it's a surfing prince or something (such as a tennis prince). hahaha.

A lot of delicious food is because there are few guidebooks. I suggest watching some videos on youtube or exploring them yourself. There will be surprises.

As mentioned above, the island is rich in national cuisines. Japanese food, Barbie Q, pizza, curry, brunch, Chinese food ... it's really delicious! !

I recommend three local foods. This fish is delicious. There are red and blue fish. Don't be afraid, they are edible and delicious. We found a restaurant in the resort for dinner, because we lived in a homestay, and we just came for dinner. Beef soup shop, absolutely! The roast chicken inside is very, very fragrant! Crispy outside and tender inside! There are also many food stalls, and the impression is that they eat barbecue. The kebabs are big and the ingredients are fresh. Now that I think about it, I'm a little puzzled. Obviously it is an island, and the dishes are not single, but also very fresh.

Mainly homestays and resorts, homestays must be surf shops, and resorts are the kind that will circle a private beach. In terms of price, the resort is more expensive in my impression, 1000? I can't remember clearly. We all live in homestays, with an average of 200-300 people. The environment is very good The first one is a small building on the second floor, and our room is upstairs. The second is a single-family glass house. At that time, I was young and pursued romance. The shower is open-air, so I'm afraid of being seen, but it's actually quite safe. The locals are very simple. However, there is a live little frog beside you in the shower. I don't like the original style, so I don't have to put up with it.

In short, if you like islands, nature and wildlife, and surfing, you must go to Siagao when you have the opportunity! You did a good job.

Here are some interesting tidbits:

Uncle is a sailor and has been to China.

Local taxi, the chassis is so low that it feels like it will fall apart at any time.

Basketball and coconuts are everywhere.

There is a gas tank puppy at the door.
