Miyako Island | A blue dream at 24°N

| A blue dream at 24°N. 🌍 When the plane slowly landed at Miyako Airport, I knew that a dreamlike journey wrapped in blue had officially begun. 🌊 After checking into the hotel, I went straight to Yonaha Maehama Beach, which is simply synonymous with "glass sea." The water is crystal clear, and you can clearly see the small fish swimming among the colorful corals. When my feet sank into the fine sand, the warm touch came from the soles of my feet, as if the earth was gently embracing me. The waves gently lapped the shore, playing a wonderful natural movement, and every wave was a gift from the sea, shining with a charming light in the sun. 🚴‍♀️ Cycling around the island is a great way to enjoy the scenery of Miyako Island. Riding along the coastline, the salty sea breeze blows across my face, taking away all the fatigue and troubles. The scenery along the way is picturesque, with the blue sky and the endless sea blending perfectly on the horizon in the distance, the lush tropical vegetation nearby, and the colorful wildflowers dotted along the roadside, forming a beautiful natural picture. Along the way, I also encountered many niche beaches, each with its own unique charm, quiet and charming, like a paradise forgotten by the world. 🍱 Speaking of Miyako Island, food is also an experience not to be missed. The local seafood dishes are so fresh that they are amazing, with lively sea prawns, plump Ishigaki beef, and melt-in-your-mouth sashimi, each bite full of the taste of the sea. Especially the Okinawa soba noodles made with local specialty ingredients, the taste is smooth and strong, the soup is rich and delicious, and it is unforgettable. 🏄‍♀️ On Miyako Island, I also bravely tried surfing for the first time in my life. Standing on the surfboard and heading towards the waves, the feeling of interacting closely with the sea made me feel unprecedented freedom and joy. When I successfully rode a wave, the sense of accomplishment in my heart was indescribable, as if I had conquered the entire sea. 🌟 During my days on Miyako Island, time seemed to slow down. There is no hustle and bustle of big cities here, only pure natural beauty and a leisurely pace of life. Every sunrise and sunset, every wave and beach, made me deeply intoxicated. Miyako Island is like a blue dream hidden deep in the Pacific Ocean. I left with joy and reluctance, but I couldn't wait to look forward to the next meeting.
