Paradise Hometown | Vanilla Island's Third Stop: Mauritius

Mauritius, the third stop of the Vanilla Islands. 🇲🇺 Mark Twain once wrote, 'God created Mauritius first, then created heaven according to the landscape of Mauritius.' This statement is largely true. Here you can find world-famous fine sandy beaches, crystal-clear blue waters, luxurious resorts, jungles, and mountains. ⛰️ You can go jungle trekking and bird chasing on a bike, or whale watching by sea, and experience world-class snorkeling and diving. You can also take a boat tour to admire the beautiful islands. 🏝 Or stroll through the colonial-style plantations and beautiful botanical gardens. China is visa-free for here~🪪 📍 West Coast of Mauritius: This area has the most diverse coastlines in the country. Considered to come from the old Dutch name 'Fried Landt Flaak' (Free Flat Land), it is the local bustling tourist center: Flic en Flac. There are many good diving centers here, suitable for all seasons. The underwater rock formations and large schools of fish make this a world-class diving destination. The steep drop-off rock formations at the edge of the blue-green lagoon are the best diving spots. 📍 Tamarin: Whales and dolphins roam in the nearby open waters~ There is also the Casela Nature Adventure Park, with: large felines, rhinos, giraffes, etc.~ You can also enjoy thrilling sports here: zip-lining, canyon floating, etc. You can get up close and personal with animals on the surrounding tour vehicles. 📍 Rodrigues Island: This is a self-admiring small volcanic island where you can take a boat to communicate with giant sea turtles, visit the Tamarin Saturday market, and dive and snorkel on the south coast or at Saint Francois. 🤿 📍 Black River Gorges: The largest park in Mauritius, a precious protected area of wild forest. It is very suitable for hiking, and it's only half an hour away from the beach. ⌚️ 📍 Chamarel: A tranquil and peaceful countryside with the famous rum production area and the seven-colored earth formed by uneven cooling of lava. There is also the vertical Chamarel waterfall. 🌊 📍 Ile aux Aigrettes: Preserving the most primitive appearance of the continent from five centuries ago, there are many native species on the brink of extinction, such as ebony, wild orchids, pink pigeons, and Aldabra giant tortoises. 🐢 📍 Eureka: The Creole-style architecture from the 1830s is a museum that takes you back to the glorious era of the Mauritian plantation industry and learn about local history and culture. 📖 📍 Le Morne Mountain: The towering Le Morne Mountain. Located above the famous underwater waterfall landscape, climbing 500 meters up the mountain allows you to see the colorful coral reefs and the endless coral sea~ You can also see the national flower—the Trochetia. 🌲 📍 Red Roof House: The red-roofed church, built by the French, is sea-facing with a seamless sky, and many newlyweds choose to witness their ceremony here. Jordan Chan and Cherrie Ying also had their ceremony here~ This is definitely a good place to go~💌
