Saipan: A Blend of Leisure, Nature, Culture, and History

In May, I spent five days in Saipan, a significant location during World War II, situated on the Pacific coast. The local culture is a mix of indigenous, Japanese, Korean, Southeast Asian, and American influences. Recommended activities include: - Renting a car to explore the island's coastal natural scenery - Snorkeling in the Blue Grotto and engaging in beach water activities - Relaxing and shopping in the city, or visiting museums to learn about historical sites Before the pandemic, Saipan was bustling with casinos and mainly attracted tourists from mainland China. However, in 2024, Saipan has become more serene and simple, gradually reviving its tourism industry. You can still see World War II tanks, enjoy self-driving tours to explore various natural and marine ecosystems, watch ethnic performances, and savor international fusion cuisine. It's an offbeat yet unique travel experience worth considering.
