Saipan travel guide+attractions introduction

Saipan is a very cool island. It belongs to the United States, but it is located in the Pacific Ocean, closer to the Asian continent. It was an important military stronghold during World War II. Here, I will share with you the detailed travel strategy and scenic spot recommendation strategy.

I have been to all the islands in China, and I want to visit the beautiful islands abroad. But after all, going abroad, the problems of transportation, visa and time difference are often a headache. To go to an island with beautiful scenery and good water quality, and its geographical location is very remote, it is time-consuming and laborious to change planes and take a boat and have enough fun on the road. When you get to the island, you won't have the strength to rush to the beach and sea.

In fact, there is an island with convenient transportation, beautiful scenery and excellent seawater quality, which has become the favorite island of China tourists, but it is an island where the Japanese cry. This island is an American island in Southeast Asia-Saipan.

It takes only five hours to fly directly from China to Saipan. The important thing is to get a visa-free visa to China, and you can go with your passport and ticket. Saipan's tourism industry is very mature, and all kinds of tourist facilities are complete. You don't have to worry about going there.

In recent years, there are more and more tourists from China visiting Saipan, so Saipan has rich experience in receiving tourists from China, so don't worry about poor service attitude.

The sorrow of the Japanese, so why should Saipan be said to be the sorrow of the Japanese? Actually, it dates back to World War II. It's a long story. Let me explain:

1. A painful history

After World War I, Japan occupied the island. During World War II, Japan and the United States fought fiercely for islands. The battle of 1944 June 15 was called "Saipan" in history. At the end of the war, the Japanese commander committed suicide by caesarean section, leaving only 1000 soldiers to guard the island. Therefore, it became the most important place in Japanese history.

In addition, the two atomic bombs dropped by the United States in Japan during World War II were loaded and taken off on an island near Saipan. It can be said that Saipan witnessed the painful history of Japan.

2. World War II scenic spots where the Japanese cried.

Today, Saipan still has the remains of the battlefield of World War II at that time. Many Japanese people come here to travel, which is also related to this history. They came here to learn about that history and remember those who died for the war.

Long live the cliff: In order to avoid the American attack, the Japanese army retreated to the northern end of the island. In order not to be captured properly, men, women and children shouted "Long live" and jumped off the cliff, hence the name "Long live the cliff". There is a Guanyin statue beside the Long Live Cliff, which was erected to mourn the Japanese who committed suicide here and remind mankind of the cruelty of war.

Self-killing cliff: the highest point in the north, very close to the Long Live Cliff, so some people chose to jump here during World War II. There is a peace monument at the top to remind people of the terrible war.

Today, these two places have become tourist attractions in Saipan. Not only do a large number of Japanese people come to these two scenic spots every year to mourn and worship the lost souls, but even ordinary tourists will come here to have a look.

Warship Island: It is named after the wreckage of fighter planes and wrecked ships in the Pacific War. It is a representative diving spot for watching sunken ships and planes. The whole island is very small, and you can circle it in about 20-30 minutes.

The last headquarters of the Japanese army: located in the cave under the cliff in the north of Saipan, it was the headquarters during World War II. There are tanks, cannons and other war weapons left over from World War II, as well as war fortresses formed by natural limestone. Although it is a small park now, you can still see the blockhouses and war relics on the cliff.

There are many diving spots in Saipan, the gathering place of diving resorts, and the farthest one takes only 30-40 minutes by boat. There are various ways of diving here. You can snorkel, dive deep, dive by boat or dive on a cliff. Diving conditions are unique.

Located in the northwest corner of Saipan, it is a natural cave connected with the Pacific Ocean. It looks like a dolphin with a big mouth. It is called the second cave diving spot in the world, where divers often practice launching. The most magical place here is that limestone has been eroded and collapsed by seawater for a long time, forming a deep hole. The light enters the hole through the waterway, and the pool water can reveal a light blue luster, which is amazing.

Due to the shadow of rocks, it attracts many underwater creatures, such as tropical fish, turtles, jellyfish, devil fish and so on. The underwater world is equally wonderful, and the magical blue world is definitely the favorite place for experienced deep-sea divers.

3. shark viewing area-wing beach

Located in the northwest of Saipan, it is an ideal place for diving, both from the beach and on the boat. But it is said that it is more enjoyable to get into the water directly from the boat.

There are large deep-sea fish here, such as sharks and dolphins, which can often be seen. At the same time, there are beautiful anemones and corals here.

Skydiving is definitely a sport that can add precious memories to your trip to Saipan. Falling from the sky, with a tight heart, enjoy the feeling of falling. When you fly at high altitude, you can see how small Saipan is in the sea below. Even objects that were once considered very large look like ants at high altitude. Screaming all the way to the ground, I felt all my troubles were vented.
