Easter Island

Easter Island is world-famous.

The earliest inhabitants of the island called it Rapa Nui or Te Pito te Henua (meaning "the navel of the world"). The first Europeans to land on the island were Dutch. They named the island Paaseiland, which means "Easter Island" to commemorate the day they arrived.

Special products and souvenirs: red grapes, salmon, wine, bronzes, wood carvings, leather products, famous black pottery and Indian handmade carpets.

Birdman's Day: The biggest traditional festival on the island is the annual Birdman's Day. Every spring, all islanders gather at the top of the volcano in Orengo to elect their leader Birdman to worship their gods. "Birdman" comes from a myth circulating on the island: in ancient times, the creator Kyle Kyle taught the priests on the island religious ceremonies and sacred objects-sea bird eggs, and designated two reefs at sea as places to take bird eggs. In this way, when seagulls fly in August and September every year, islanders will gather at the seaside of Orengo. Each tribe chooses a player, swims along the cliff to the sea, and looks for bird eggs on the big reef 2 kilometers away. The first player to get the bird's egg immediately swam back to the island and gave it to his chief, and he became the "bird man" of that year. Throughout the year, he was regarded as a god by the islanders. Swimming for eggs is often attacked by sharks, and this activity has stopped 100 years. However, sacred ceremonies and colorful makeup performances are still preserved to this day, and "Bird Man" is still the god worshipped by islanders. In order to meet the needs of tourism, the activity time is changed to February every year, so that more tourists can witness this strange custom.

Anakai, the most attractive scenic spot.

Anakay, located in the northern part of Easter Island, is the most attractive scenic spot in the whole island. Except for a row of mighty "Moai" stone statues, a golden beach is long and wide. Palm trees on the shore are lush. Climb to the top of Trevaka, the highest point on the island, at an altitude of 507 meters, and you can see all the volcanoes and surrounding stone statues on the island. The vast Pacific Ocean blends with the blue sky, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. Not far from this mountain is the famous "Seven Moes" scenic spot. According to legend, it is the place where seven sons of a Maori wizard wait for the arrival of King Otto Matua. "The Sea" is the best preserved Moai stone statue group in the whole island. Every evening, people will come here to watch the sunset, the glow reflects half the sky, and the huge stone statues are set off in eternal silhouette.

Easter islanders are hospitable, friendly and polite, and every guest will receive a bouquet of garlands. Young men and women are good at singing and dancing. On holidays, men wear garlands around their necks and bare their upper bodies, while women wear flower ornaments, feather skirts and dance in them. This kind of dance is similar to the hula dance in Hawaii, and it is a "reserved program" of Chile's tourism activities.

Talk board

Wooden boards with strange patterns were found near the stone statues, which were called "talking boards", but these wooden boards suffered the catastrophe brought by "civilized people". After explorers discovered Easter Island, European missionaries came to the island to spread the "will" of God. They ordered all these boards to be burned. Only one local resident grabbed 25 boards, nailed them to a fishing boat and fled to the sea. Later, these 25 boards were preserved and collected by famous museums all over the world. These surviving "talking boards" are 2 meters long, with square patterns carved with shark teeth or hard stones on both sides, such as fish, birds, vegetation and paddles, and some geometric figures.

figure in stone

The stone statues on Easter Island are generally 7- 10 meters high and weigh 30-90 tons. Some stone statues and hats weigh 10 tons. The stone statues are all carved from a whole piece of dark red volcanic rock. All the stone statues have no legs, they are busts, and their shapes are similar. The facial expressions of the stone statues are very rich, and the eyes are specially inlaid with shiny obsidian or shiny shells, which is particularly vivid.
