Going to the Maldives for a free trip?

To travel to the Maldives independently, you can follow the following steps:

1. Book air tickets: You can book round-trip air tickets to the Maldives on the official website of the airline or travel website. Generally speaking, in addition to direct flights to Male Hora International Airport, there are also economical options for connecting flights. It is best to book in advance to get better prices and flight times.

2. Choose accommodation: There are many high-quality resorts in the Maldives to choose from. It is also best to book in advance reservations that cannot be checked out or packages that include food and activities. If you are on a lower budget, you can also consider staying on the local islands near Male Hora.

3. Apply for a visa: Chinese citizens traveling to the Maldives need to apply for a visa in advance. You can check relevant visa information and application procedures on the official website of the Maldives Embassy and Consulates in China.

4. Prepare currency: The Maldives uses its own currency, the rafiyaa, but the U.S. dollar is also widely accepted. When using U.S. dollars locally, you need to pay attention to the exchange rate and exchange fees. It is best to prepare a certain amount of cash in advance, or use a credit card.

5. Arrange activities: The Maldives is a beautiful island country that provides many water sports activities, such as snorkeling, diving, sailing, etc. If you need to experience these water activities locally, you can learn about the relevant fees and activity arrangements in advance.

In summary, independent travel requires a certain amount of time and energy in travel planning, but you can also flexibly adjust your travel schedule to experience more local culture and characteristics.
