Introduction of semi-self-help tour in Boracay

Boracay is known as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, a world-class tropical ocean and the most popular beach in the world. It is an island in the central Philippines with an area of 10.32 square kilometers. It belongs to the West Visayan Islands, 2 kilometers northwest of Bannai Island. It is one of the tourist attractions in the Philippines. The following is my semi-self-help tour guide to Boracay, please refer to it!

Boracay is located on a small island in the southeast of Viserya Islands in the central Philippines. The island is shaped like a pig's foot bone, with an area of only 1 1,000 hectares. However, this small island is famous for its small and bright white sand, ranking third among the top ten most charming beaches in the world and first in Southeast Asia. I chose Long Beach because online tourists love it so much that they are full of praise. The tourist season is from June 1 1 to May of the following year, and the temperature is about 30 degrees, which is not too hot. It is a dry season in the Philippines. During this period, housing prices in Boracay are generally much higher than usual. With many longings and expectations, we went to the Philippines from June, 5438+October, 2008/KLOC-0. Despite the ice and snow, it was as warm as early summer.

Cebu Airlines is indeed commendable. Except that there is no free food and drink, no blanket (we travel from winter to summer, it doesn't matter if we don't), other conditions are very comfortable, and unlike other low-cost airlines, we have to stop at other airports. The flight from Shanghai to Manila is really cost-effective. At the moment of arrival at the airport, the unique "Philippines" smell in the air of tropical countries came to my face. Next, the shabby city, messy wire winding, traffic jams, serious automobile exhaust, dirty sewers and backward city appearance make me have to confuse these with unpleasant smells. Our hotel is Hyatt Regency, which is located in Malate District, an upscale business district. However, out of the hotel, there are still such scenes everywhere, which makes me feel how great and even modern China is when I go abroad. Although I did a lot of homework before I left, I still want to give you some advice. Please pay attention to the right when you go out from the airport (you haven't reached the door yet). There is an escalator inside. Choose to take a taxi upstairs. There is a taxi to take the guests to the airport. We still missed this link. If you accidentally go straight out of the door, you can't turn back if you see the position clearly. I was firmly locked out by the Philippine police, and I couldn't get in again. Due to the unique political environment in the Philippines, the airport seems to attach great importance to safety, security and so on. I have to spend 530p to go to Marat. It turned out that it only took about 120P (including tips) to get from the hotel to the airport.

Manila's itinerary has been arranged for three days, which can roughly complete the tour of the city. The main attractions are Rizal Park, Intramuros and Manila Bay. All major networks have scenic spots introduced. Hyatt Regency is located in the center of Marat, and Rojas Avenue is the exit of the hotel. This avenue is known as the leisure avenue for Filipinos, and it is also the best place to watch the sunset and take a walk at night. As it turns out, we have been wandering around this street for the next few days. When we saw the avenue, we knew we were home. At the end of Laxas Avenue, you will reach SM (Asia Mall), the largest shopping center in the Philippines. The whole shopping mall is incredibly big, and there are many restaurants and drink shops, and there are more than one supermarket, bookstore, cake shop, coffee shop and so on. Because our itinerary is relatively loose, eating, drinking and Lazarus are basically solved there. When you are hungry, sit down and eat. There are all kinds of choices. GRILL also has a branch, which is a famous chain store in the Philippines. Mainly engaged in barbecue dishes. Sit down and have a drink when you are thirsty, Starbucks coffee, fresh and delicious mango juice, etc. Tired, sit down and have a mango milkshake! About 60P, a large glass, really makes people linger. The Philippines is not a tax-free country, so it is not a shopper's paradise. Many goods in the shop are made in China. There are many commodities that look like China at the beginning of the reform and opening up. I spent most of my time there, and more importantly, I sat, watched and chatted, enjoying the characteristics of the Philippines in this unique and leisure way. In order to better enjoy the fun of walking donkeys (hehe, it is more upscale than walking donkeys), we also walk the streets to refine the customs of Filipino civilians. No matter where you look, you can see there are so many children. Most people don't have a high standard of living, even they don't have a TV at home, but everyone has more than two children, or even more. The phenomenon that the big one is dragging the small one with a toddler in his arms and a baby in his stomach can be seen everywhere in the streets of Manila. Is it really the Bible that says,' God bless you and let you have more children'? Then, some of these children squatted on the side of the road, picked up the heads of rice grains and fed themselves with white vinegar. Did the Lord God see it?

Attractions in the city):

In Manila, there are not many natural scenery worth visiting. At night, I was told by my online friends not to wander around the street at will. Therefore, while the hotel has a casino, we also feel it. Casinos are orderly, just like casinos in Macau. Many uncles and aunts, even old ladies, are playing cards in a civilized way. Look at the clothes, that is, the affluent class in the Philippines, bling with jewels. The rich woman spent a lot of money. With a loud cry, her famous Filipino maid gave her potato chips. And those Korean men, I heard that Koreans like to travel to the Philippines best, and later witnessed this with their own eyes in Boracay. Koreans are divided into those who like to spend their holidays on the island, those who make movies, those who like gambling, and those who have direct "gun groups". Considering everything here … well, socialism is better. Have fun, fortunately, I won 3000P! Haha, tomorrow we will go to Long Beach.

If you fly Philippine Airlines, there is a special airport. With other airlines. Other airlines have other domestic airports, not far from the international airport. This time we all took Cebu Airlines flights. Domestic airports are simple and narrow, and they are very civilian. Several domestic airlines in the Philippines use this airport. It seems that the domestic airlines in most Southeast Asian countries are like this, perhaps because these low-cost airlines are more like the convenient buses for China people. When waiting in line, you can directly see the landing plane coming slowly, so don't have some fun. After a 50-minute flight, the plane landed slowly at Kalibo Airport, which was a cheap trip to Boracay. After arriving at Kalibo airport, it takes about two hours by car to reach a village called CATICLAN (in my opinion), and then take a crab boat to the island from here. The Philippines needs to collect environmental taxes and construction taxes everywhere, and it is a country with a lot of taxes. Kalibo airport construction tax is 200p/person. From the airport, there are local residents selling vans (commonly known as vans) and black and thin men helping tourists with their luggage. Generally speaking, they only need to pay 20 pence. Seeing them, I can't help thinking of contract workers. Generally, a car full of 9- 10 people set off, and the fare is 200P/ person, including the boat ticket, which seems to have become a routine. It is always said that the road is rugged. Maybe we were psychologically prepared, but we didn't feel so terrible, so it took only an hour and a half to get to CATICLAN. The biggest development space of this village (I always think so) is nothing more than an important tourist passage to Boracay. If you want to go to Boracay, this is the only place you must pass. There are also small domestic airlines flying directly from Manila to Cartland, such as Air Spirit, Seair and Air Philippines, which are very convenient for tourists who like convenience regardless of price. But the only drawback is that all domestic airlines can't book tickets directly online, and the reason why we choose this itinerary is to experience the feeling of such a journey on the one hand and to solve traffic obstacles directly online on the other. Since May 2008, Cebu Airlines has also started flights from Manila to Katik.

On a beautiful island, a leisurely trip is a good choice.

There is no time to chase, just relax and give yourself to nature for three days.

Day 1: Walking by the sea.

I have just arrived in Boracay. Let's simply walk by the sea and feel the charm of the most beautiful beach in the world.

If you just catch up with the evening, don't miss the most beautiful time in Boracay. Watching the red sun slowly fall to the sea level, the colors are bright and beautiful, and the silhouette of coconut trees and ships is simply a pleasing southern amorous feelings painting.

The next day: sunbathing-pushing sand dunes

Wake up with no concept of time and start a free day.

Here, you can leisurely lie on the lounge chair on the beach known as "sunbathing paradise", enjoy the beautiful scenery of the sea and the sky, or read prose, so that your mind can get real peace;

People who are unwilling to be lonely can meet at the seaside, stroll on the soft white sand beach, stroll on the waves, or be full of childlike innocence, exert their imagination, push sand dunes and feel the vitality of nature and youth.

Day 3: Go out to sea by boat-massage SPA

At the beginning of a new day, if you are energetic, you can rent a car to cross the island to find more mystery and excitement; Or go out to sea by boat and be a master fisherman in a place full of fish. ...

Of course, the underwater walk is also a wonderful project that can't be missed. You can feel another world under the sea. All kinds of corals cover the seabed, and all kinds of fish surround you. People can only marvel at the miracle created by God.

After a day of visual enjoyment, you can choose a body massage SPA that can relax more thoroughly, lying on the beach and blowing sea breeze, feeling fresh and comfortable; It is also a good choice to go to restaurants and bars with flashing lights by the sea, where you can get an introduction to wine and food and have enthusiastic music exchanges.
