10 small details that should be paid attention to when going to Okinawa for the first time.

July and August are the peak seasons for Okinawa tourism. There are not a few people who make an appointment to go to Okinawa now. So I want to tell these tourists the little details that 10 should pay attention to when traveling in Okinawa. Mainly some small suggestions for freelancers who travel to Okinawa for the first time. I think it should help you.

The temperature in Okinawa is very high. Walking on the streets of Okinawa, it is most suitable to wear beach sandals. When you get to the seaside, you can play directly in the sea without taking off your shoes.

Summer is the hottest season with strong ultraviolet radiation. So the sun is very irritating to the skin. If you don't want to get sunburned, you must wear long-sleeved trousers! It's best to take it with you, because you can take it off when it's hot, so it won't be covered when you are drying. It's best to wear a parka and T-shirt in summer style, and then put on a hat. Some people like to put sunscreen on the map and bask in the sun, which is also a good choice, but don't go out at noon or at two o'clock in the afternoon, because the lighting conditions are strongest at this time, and I think it is better to choose morning or near evening. Okinawa residents usually go out at night and take a sea bath in the sea.

There are also poisonous creatures living in Okinawa's seawater, which sometimes threaten people engaged in maritime activities. Although it is safe in most cases, there is no need to panic, but if you see it, don't go near it, let alone touch it. Beautiful corals and anemones are poisonous. Don't touch them with unprotected hands. Everything is just in case, so when you accidentally encounter a similar situation, you must immediately notify the Coast Guard that you need to go to the hospital for emergency treatment. Therefore, it is best to wear a simple diving suit when doing sea activities.

? Toxic organisms:

One, bobo jellyfish. Living in shoals or bays with relatively stable waves, such as estuaries, it is common throughout Okinawa from July to 10. Once stung, it hurts, immediately becomes red and swollen, and then itches.

Countermeasures: Once stung, clean it with vinegar, and then gently clip out the tentacles with tweezers. Never rub them with your hands. They are always covered with ice or cold water before they arrive at the hospital.

? Second, the spiny crown starfish. Living near coral reefs, I always like to hide behind corals. Pay attention to touching coral at low tide. About 15 to 30 cm, but no matter how big it is, it is poisonous. So don't touch it if you see it. If you are stung by vomit, it will be very painful, accompanied by vomiting or paralysis, and even lead to anaphylactic shock.

Countermeasures: If there are stinging marks on the stung part, you must take them out, squeeze out the toxins from the stung part, then rinse them with fresh water, disinfect them, soak them in hot water at 40-50 degrees for 30-90 minutes to relieve the pain, and then you must go to the hospital.

? Third, the ghost tiger fish. Living in shoals, sand, rocks and other places in coral reef areas. The color and shape are similar to those of rocks and seaweed. They will be motionless, so it's hard to tell. There are poisonous spikes on his back, and he usually hides his body in the sand. When the tide ebbs, people walk barefoot on the beach, which is very easy to be stabbed. Backstab will suffer from pain, sweating, vomiting and diarrhea when he arrives, and in severe cases, he will have difficulty breathing.

Countermeasures: If there are stinging marks left in the stung part, it must be taken out, the toxin in the stung part is squeezed out, then washed with clear water, and then the wound is coated with anti-biological ointment. And soak in hot water of 40 to 50 degrees for 30 to 90 minutes to relieve the pain, and then be sure to go to the hospital.

? 4. sea urchin. It is a kind of sea urchin, which lives under big rocks and corals, and its thorns are very conspicuous. The thorn is very slender and easy to be broken and left in the body, and it is more likely to be stung when swimming. Therefore, when swimming, you must wear an upstream swimsuit and don't expose your skin. It will be very painful after being stung.

Countermeasures: Carefully pull out the obvious thorns outside, and then clean and disinfect the wound with fresh water. The thorn on your body is not easy to take out, so you must go to the hospital for treatment.

In the beach leisure area, everyone is very open, but after swimming, don't just wear swimsuits and go into nearby restaurants, convenience stores or small shops. If you want to go in, you must wear a skirt or something. Also, when eating at the seaside, you should pack all your garbage and bring it back. Barbecue activities are not allowed on some beaches. Please check the beach usage rules carefully. Being polite and obeying the rules are the most basic manners.

The reef leaves of Okinawa beach coral reef are very developed. Most people like to dive in the shoal with stable waves, because they can enjoy the fun of free swimming, but the changeable sea conditions are the norm here. For the sake of safety, it is best to take a coach when diving. Simple swimsuits, life jackets, tail fins and underwater masks are all necessary things for diving.

Hotels in Naha are generally in Naha City. If you want to go to the seaside to play, you must move for a long distance, which takes time and experience, which is very unsuitable for the whole beach trip. If you travel to Okinawa for the first time and want to go to the seaside, then the Reading Hotel in Gucun and Enna Village is the most suitable. If you want to be close to the airport, it is your best choice to pick up a hotel near the city. One more thing, if your itinerary includes a visit to the Marine Aquarium on the main island of the United States, I suggest you set the hotel in the north of Okinawa Prefecture. Because it takes about 2 hours from Naha to the beautiful island marine aquarium, time will be wasted on the road.

Okinawa is located in the subtropical zone, which is more tropical, so there are dense forest vegetation and many unknown poisonous animals. So we are always vigilant when climbing mountains and enjoying the scenery.

First of all, we must strictly abide by the rules in mountainous areas. The first rule is that we must take back the garbage we make ourselves. Then you can't destroy the flowers and plants in the mountains at will, or pick them at will. Because if you destroy a little bit of flowers and trees, it will cause the collapse of the natural circulation system in the mountains. Moreover, if the injuries and diseases caused by picking flowers and trees are not treated in time, it will cause immeasurable losses and injuries to tourists themselves, which is not worth the candle.

? Traveling around the mountains is a very happy journey, and you can take your children for a parent-child tour or something. But please note that the weather in the mountains is unpredictable. There are many wet places and harmful animals and plants live there. Therefore, before traveling around the mountain, we must get the mountaineering equipment ready, and at the same time, we must understand the precautions in mountaineering. You can't go up the mountain without authorization, because you are not a special soldier.

Here are some common dangerous creatures in the mountains.

First, the rice spoon money. The most dangerous poisonous snakes living in Okinawa Prefecture are rice spoon money, rice spoon money, rice spoon money from Sakesima and rice spoon money from Taiwan Province Province. The spoon money is basically the kind of sleeping during the day and acting at night. During the day, I sleep in fields or trees, and also in caves. Most snakes encountered during the day are non-toxic. But just in case, wear thick socks and platform shoes when going up the mountain.

Countermeasures: in case of arrival, move slowly and go directly to the hospital by car. On the way to the hospital, if there is no special equipment, the toxin should be sucked out of the wound and then the bleeding should be stopped slowly. Then go to the hospital for strict and appropriate treatment.

? Second, wasps. There are 7 kinds of bees commonly known as wasps in Japan, among which Okinawa accounts for 6 kinds. So you will meet different kinds of wasps when you enter the mountain. The most important thing at this time is not to give wasps any useless stimulation. Because wasps react strongly to fragrance, don't wash your hair with scented shampoo or spray perfume on the mountain. There are also black clothes, shiny decorations and so on, which are the targets of wasps' attacks, so you should pay attention to the collocation of clothes when going up the mountain.

Countermeasures: In case of being stung, use the props that suck out toxins to detoxify and go to the hospital for treatment in time. In the past, people went into anaphylactic shock after being stung by wasps. So we must pay attention to timely treatment.

? Third, African snails. It is one of the largest snails in the world, native to the African continent. Only Okinawa in Japan has this species. This is an artificial substitute species, which is easy to harm crops and is a pest. The danger of African snails is that they carry a parasite called "Guangdong blood nematode", which can infect humans. If you put this big snail in your hand, parasites will take the opportunity to invade your body, causing severe headache, vomiting, paralysis of hands and feet, and even death.

Countermeasure: Don't touch it if you see it. If you touch it, be sure to wash your hands. If you have symptoms, you should go to the hospital for treatment.

Here you can see many related facilities and attractions about the history, culture and customs of Ryukyu. Most natural scenic spots are sacred places for Okinawa locals, and these places also include some beaches and other places, so you must be polite when watching them, and don't do anything that hurts Okinawa people's hearts. Such as Zhai Chang in Yue, Sanku, Boshang Palace and other places. They are all equipped with sacrificial objects such as incense burners. Don't take everything from these places away. There are also some ancient castle buildings such as the Ryukyu Kingdom Heritage Group, some of which are being repaired. Don't go in and out at will. Some crops () and the like are forbidden to be taken out of Okinawa Prefecture, especially it is completely forbidden to bring things from Okinawa to Kumejima, and violation of the regulations will be punished!

To travel to Okinawa, you have to exchange a lot of yen, because many places here can only pay in cash, not by WeChat, Alipay or credit card. Of course, it is not appropriate to bring too much cash, so it is recommended to bring a bank card (with the UnionPay logo), and basically you can withdraw money directly from local banks and convenience stores. Take only one credit card. Here are some goods that can be credited by credit card. Remember to bring your ID card (visa, passport) or driver's license (international driver's license) in order to rent a car or carry out identity authentication.

When choosing a travel itinerary, don't forget to book breakfast at the hotel. If it is not a deep tour, you must bring breakfast when booking a hotel, because there are basically no convenience stores or few restaurants around the resort hotel, so it is best to go out to play after eating at the hotel. By the way, you must drink Orion beer when you go to Okinawa, because drinking Orion locally in Okinawa is very authentic, otherwise you will go to Okinawa for nothing.

? Ok, that's all for today. Thank you for taking the time to read the following article. Thank you very much.
