Where is Cologne Island? Cologne island travel guide

The Philippines is a country consisting of 10,000 islands. There are many islands very suitable for sightseeing and some places suitable for diving. So which of so many islands is suitable for traveling? Share with you the absolute value of an island.

Where is Cologne Island?

Kelun Island, translated as Cologne Island in Chinese, is located in Busanga Island in the north of Palawan Province in the central and western Philippines, with a population of about 50,000. Its main industries are tourism and fishing. Cologne was once one of the important military ports of the Japanese army during World War I, where American air strikes sank more than 20 Japanese warships, so it was also famous for sinking and diving.

What I saw on the plane was not an island, but a white sand beach.

Why cologne?

As we all know, there are more than 7,000 islands in the Philippines. Married with children, young and old, we must find a place with relatively convenient transportation and relatively perfect accommodation and catering. Of course, the most important thing is to have characteristics, be sure to have characteristics, and don't look at popular scenery. After wandering around in the tour group for many days, with the help of friends, I finally chose Keren Island in palawan island. There are three reasons:

First, the transportation is relatively convenient.

When I say the traffic is relatively convenient, I mean you don't have to change trains to transfer ships. I can't stand taking a long-distance bus. It takes less than an hour to get off the plane, which is very convenient.

These propeller planes fly to Cologne with less than 80 seats.

Second, the folk customs are relatively simple.

There are not many tourists visiting Cologne, the local people have relatively little contact with the outside world, and the folk customs are relatively simple, making it easier to see smiling faces full of small white teeth.

Although the house is simple, the smiling children are still there.

Third, the scenery is great.

Cologne's scenery is not built. Whether on the ground or under the sea, the sunset on the Cross Mountain, the beautiful scenery of the national lake and the colorful corals in the underwater world attract me.

Beautiful beach

What to play in Cologne?

There are seven saltwater lakes surrounded by steep rock walls in Cologne Island, the most famous of which is Kaiyanggen Lake, which is the cleanest lake in the Philippines. Kaiyanggen Lake is also known as the "national lake" of the Philippines. There are more than 15 sunken ships and diving spots rich in marine life on Cologne Island.

There are four sea routes in Cologne. For convenience, the locals call it ABCD four routes for short.

Line A: The main scenic spot of CoronIslandTourA Line, kayanganlake Kaiyanggen Lake-Twin Lagoon-Siete Pecados Qizi Island-—skeletonwreck Small Shipwreck-Coral Garden Coral Garden-—CYCBeach takes about 65,438+05 to 30 minutes to reach each destination, and it is also the closest of the four lines to Cologne Town.

Line B: IslandEscapadeTour mainly looks at the beach and plays with the island. It takes about 1.5 to 2 hours to get to Malalapua-Banana-Malalapua.

Line C: ReefWreckTour, this line is for snorkeling in the famous shipwreck in Luzon. The shipwreck in Luzon is very close to the sea, which is rare in the world. Snorkeling can touch the sunken ship, and coral is beautiful. The time to reach the destination is also about 1.5 hours.

D line: Calauitssafariwithbusuangabayishilandhoppingtour This line is mainly to go to Calauit Island to see animals, such as zebra giraffes. It takes a long time by boat, and it takes 2 to 4 hours to add a car by boat. It's a long distance and few people go.

This paper introduces the basic situation of Cologne and shares some practical strategies and experiences with you. I hope that after reading this article, you will plant grass in Cologne.

Matters needing attention in cologne crushing

I said in my last article that the Philippines is poor and backward. Is that so? Let's show you the real Manila. I made a detailed introduction, so I won't go into details here.

1. Air ticket-Manila to Busanga

Yes, you are right. You need to fly to Busanga instead of Cologne. Cologne Island is closed to the public. People can only live in the town of Cologne, which is on the island of Busanga (tongue twister? Awkward!

Busanga airport is a very small airport, very small. It can only take off and land propeller planes. There is no baggage conveyor belt, and the baggage gets off the plane by hand.

However, the ticket to Busanga is really super expensive. Generally, one-way tickets are above 700 yuan, so you can buy them as soon as you see the promotion. There are not many opportunities. I stared at the promotion for half a year, and I bought tickets for nine people in seven orders, because the special tickets were almost put one by one. In the end, nine people took two planes and flew to Busanga.

2. Free Manila Airport T3 to T4 Dafa

Now it is said that the Philippines is poor and backward, is that right? Let's show you the real Manila. In the comments section of the article, some fans asked how Manila Airport changed from T3 to T4. Let's stop here.

A. Free bus: From T3 to the international arrival area, don't leave the airport, turn left towards the boarding gate, go through the escalator on the third floor and go to the end, and follow the sign of "TerminalTransfer".

This free transfer bus at the airport is operated 24 hours, but the arrival time of the vehicle is unpredictable, and sometimes it takes 1 hour, which is suitable for people who are not in a hurry. But it's really close. The bus will pass by the airport and you can see all kinds of planes from all over the world at close range.

Follow the signs and you will find a free shuttle bus.

B. Toll bus: When you leave the lobby, turn right and look for the 14 column, which is next to the bus waiting area, but you can only take the bus to T4 and T3 terminals (not T 1). When you get on the bus, the driver will ask you the next flight number responsibly. The shuttle bus runs from 6 am to 2 am the next day. Don't ask me how much it costs. I didn't take it. I don't know. ......

C. Taxi: After leaving the airport, look for the boundary pillar "Bay 12" on the right and take the yellow airport taxi "METEREDTAXI". These are all vehicles managed by the airport. Before getting on the bus, the taxi service manager at the airport will register your destination and license plate number in triplicate, and then give you and the driver one. The notice is also printed with the vehicle rate and emergency telephone number.

3. From Busanga Airport to the town

There is a bus at the airport, and the fare is 150P. Just tell the driver the name of the hotel and it will be sent to the door of the hotel. In other words, you can't see the sea all the way, but there are vast grasslands and cattle. I thought I was on the grassland.

4. Hotel accommodation

There are no luxury hotels in Cologne and the facilities are poor. Pick one that fits the budget and close your eyes. I live in Sunzencoronresort, which is owned by Koreans. Clean and tidy, rich breakfast, spicy Lamian Noodles. Breakfast is a set meal. You can order several packages at any time. Deluxe edition needs to add 40P. We met several Fujian people here. They said it was 13 time to go to Cologne, which made my mother envy ... The hotel is a little far from the town center, about 20 minutes' walk. Although it's not far, I'm exhausted. Every day when I come back from the sea, I always take the tutu bus. The hotel provides a free car to the town center, and if you meet on the return trip, you will be sent back to the hotel for free. When we arrived, the signal tower on the mountain was broken, there was no WIFI, and the cell phone signal was not good. After a few days, there will be no primitive life with the Internet. Swimming with the baby every night, chatting with parents and counting the stars in the sky. ......

Breakfast in the hotel, lunch out to sea, only dinner out. I haven't tried several restaurants among online celebrities, but I found one in public comments. It tastes good and the price is ok. The name of this restaurant is "LoloNonoy`sFoodstation".

go to sea

Two ways, charter a boat or join a group. I have many people, so I choose to charter a boat. Every morning, the boatman will pick me up at the hotel and buy meat, seafood, vegetables and fruits at the market. When we play, the boatman will prepare meals for us. I think everything is delicious, especially pineapple, which is too sweet, just like canned food.

7. Underwater world

Can you call it beautiful? I have been to Thailand and Malaysia many times and have never seen such beautiful corals. My favorite one is Banana Island, and the other is a sunken ship. A few meters away from the shore of Banana Island are colorful fish schools, and a few meters away from 10 are colorful corals. For me who thinks I've had enough snorkeling, it's really a brand-new world, with fewer people, more fish and more corals. What's more, the sunken ship is almost by the sea, and it is covered with corals!
