The most beautiful sea-to-lake in the Philippines, comparable to the Maldives in beauty.

The Philippines, as a popular island destination in the South Pacific, attracts countless tourists with its beautiful island scenery. With over 7,000 islands, 90% of which are uninhabited, the biggest feature of these islands is the surrounding mountains and unique landscapes, resembling "Guilin on the sea". They are far from the hustle and bustle, peaceful and charming, and fascinating. Coron Island in the Philippines was designated as a world fish and wildlife conservation area in 1967 due to its excellent marine ecological environment. The waters here have over 600 species of coral reefs, ranking first in the world. It has been named one of the "Top 10 Popular Diving Spots in the World" by many well-known travel magazines and websites, becoming a dream destination for countless divers. When you come to Coron Island as a regular tourist, you don't necessarily have to dive deep to explore the beautiful underwater world. There are many surrounding islands with hidden lakes that are perfect for swimming and snorkeling. Twin Lagoons is a popular snorkeling spot among tourists, with beautiful and colorful underwater scenery, excellent water quality, high visibility, and many schools of fish. Twin Waterfalls Lake, one big and one small, are two freshwater lakes connected to the ocean but very hidden, located between the ocean and the mountains, with only a 2-meter-long rock cave connecting them. To enter here, one must stop the boat in the middle of the sea, hold their breath and swim through the underwater cave from the bottom of the sea, making it a fascinating "utopia on the sea". Twin Waterfalls Lake showcases the amazing work of nature. Surrounded by karst peaks and connected to the sea, the lake water is fresh and swimming here allows one to feel the temperature changes. However, beneath the surface lies a mysterious unknown world that is both thrilling and frightening. Twin Lagoon boasts a beautifully preserved underwater world, making it perfect for snorkeling and diving. Here, you can get up close and personal with schools of fish and coral, and even spot sea urchins on the lake bed. What's even more amazing is that compared to pure freshwater lakes, Twin Lagoon's water has incredibly strong buoyancy, allowing people to float on the surface and fully enjoy the joy brought by seawater and sunshine. At the foot of a rocky mountain in a corner of Shuangzi Xie Lake, there is a small wooden house, which is the residence of the Shuangzi Xie Lake administrator and also the "ticket office" of the lake. The ticket aunt usually paddles a canoe and charges per person per boat, 100 pesos each. Working in such a beautiful environment really makes people a little envious. #First trip of 2023 #Outdoor fun #These domestic islands are awesome.
