Which is more fun, Boracay or Cebu Island?

Boracay is like a dog bone, with big sides and thin middle, surrounded by sea water and beaches, and no rocks or rocks! When you enter Boracay, you must go into the sea on the beach, wade through the thorough seawater and count the starfish ashore. Don't complain that the road is too long. The dazzling white sand beach and light green or deep blue sea water are the warmest hugs from Boracay.

On the island, everyone can sing and dance, whether it is a hotel clerk, a diver or a "motorcycle" driver on the street. Along the long beach, the path is full of different styles of boutiques, specialty bars and handicrafts grocery stores. There are no high-star resorts here, and there is no roar of luxury "Big Ben" and "BMW". Three-wheeled vehicles are the authentic means of transportation. If there is an opportunity, it is also good to enjoy a Philippine massage "Masha Ji".

Music is the main theme of this island. Wherever you go, you will hear professional songs, from old English songs 20 years ago to Meteor Garden 5 years ago. This feeling is especially strong on the island where coconut trees rustle.

Indigenous art village

In the d'MailVillage on the island, you can see the primitive life of the aborigines-from making handmade lanterns with leaves, silk crafts, sand bottles and sand cages to designing personalized beach shoes, necklaces and earrings. Every small shop is a world where the works of "Long Beach Artists" are displayed. Here, you will never find the same two stores-perhaps this is also a big factor for many top designers around the world to come to "vacation".

You can play like this.

D 1 all the way to Boracay, the first thing he did was to find a hotel. "BananaSaging" is very nice and antique, and you can see American and European skateboarders playing in the waves.

It's time for D2-D3 to "jump on the island". About 4000 pesos to charter a boat, responsible for two dives, very enjoyable. If you don't want to dive, it's good to snorkel by the boat, or just have a glass of juice and stare blankly on the beach.

D4-D5 returned to Manila and wandered around. Living in the Hermitage area is convenient for walking around. It's near the Spanish castle. On the coastal highway just one kilometer away, there are very enthusiastic and professional Filipino bands singing hard.

Pure and beautiful Boracay.

A travel magazine once told the story of a star and Boracay. It is said that in the summer of 2004, a middle-aged man came to Boracay alone. Besides swimming in Yapak Beach, a white beach at the western end of the island, he stays in the hotel for an hour every afternoon. On the third day, when he walked out of the hotel, a group of Hong Kong tourists recognized him-Tayu Lo! It turns out that Tayu Lo is hiding in Boracay to write his new album Beautiful Island. Perhaps in his eyes, Boracay is a dead village, which can see all the vicissitudes and bury the sadness, so he wrote that beautiful song: "We will meet at the bottom of the fault at dusk, and the island will meet Lacrimosa, and we will cry for our lives."

In fact, Boracay has 4 kilometers of fine white sand beach, which is known as the best beach in the Philippines, the most primitive beach bar street in the Philippines, and the perfect sunset talked about by local people ... No wonder Filipino locals and playful European and American tourists like authentic Boracay so much, and Koreans even regard Boracay as the best honeymoon destination.

Philippine primitive style

To tell the truth, the trip to Boracay can be described as "full of twists and turns". If you are a tourist from China, you have to fly to Manila first, then transfer to Kalibo for 45 minutes, then take the bus 1.5 hours to Kaliwellan, and finally take a crab boat at sea for half an hour to get to the island. Therefore, almost all three modes of transportation have to go through before they can finally arrive. Perhaps because of its remote location, Boracay not only has perfect natural beauty, but also retains the most primitive Filipino customs, which is probably the main reason why Filipino locals also like it. Boracay is not big, but there are three local villages on the island, Yapak in the north, Barabagh in the middle and Ma Nuoke-Ma Nuoke in the south, each of which is small. The locals still maintain a lazy Philippine island life. They don't work in a hurry for sunrise, but rest at sunset. Everyone lives according to the unique schedule of life on the island. Therefore, only after 10 in the morning can we find local people who get up early in the small streets of Boracay. Of course, this has won a rare quiet environment for tourists. There will be no noise in the morning, but there are many programs to play at night.

Have the best fine white sand beach.

Boracay has "the best fine white sand beach in the Philippines", especially the white sand beach between Angor and Barabagh, where the sand is as fine as powder. Every morning, people build sand castles on the beach, and every night, such castles are washed away by the rising tide. If tourists appreciate the works of the people who built these sandcastles, they can give some money to the creators of these sandcastles in barrels and take photos with the castles. Because Shacheng is built every day, there is a date mark on Shacheng, which is the best evidence of "being here".

Besides playing on the white sand beach, there are many crab boats for rent on Boracay. Visitors can take their passengers snorkeling in the beautiful waters outside the island as long as they make a reservation. It is said that there are two caves called "Crystal Cave" on the nearby snorkeling island. If you are afraid of the sun, you can go snorkeling there. The cave is very cool, so children can go down.
