You must visit the Xisha Islands, which only Chinese citizens can go to, at least once

After returning from Xisha 🎈, I no longer care for the sea 👀, and henceforth, the Maldives are just another passerby 😒. This holiday 😜, I actually managed to check in at the beautiful and fertile Xisha Islands 🌴 mentioned in our primary school Chinese textbooks, which is the southernmost part of our motherland 💪, accessible only to our citizens 🚩, and a place where only 0.01% of the population has ever set foot 👣. I was captivated by the stunning beauty of the seven-colored seas 😍. The waters of Xisha are truly beautiful 🌊, the flag-raising scene is truly awe-inspiring 🇨🇳, and the sunshine is truly intense 🌞. As for the means of travel: you can choose between a cruise ship 🚢 or a sailing boat ⛵ (prices range from 6k to 20k). 🚢 Cruise ship - You have the choice of 'Nanhai Dream' (a bit old 😅) and 'Changle Princess' (newer 🤩), each with different departure times, so you can choose according to your schedule. I chose 'Nanhai Dream', which has quite comprehensive facilities 👍, with six-person rooms (no bathroom), four-person rooms (with bathroom), two-person rooms (with bathroom), and luxury suites (personally, I think the four-person rooms are quite cost-effective). The public baths 🛀 and toilets are very clean, meals are enjoyed in the restaurant as a buffet, and there is a restaurant bar on the deck with very transparent pricing 💰! Overall, the environment is quite comfortable 😌! ⛵ Sailing boat: I did some research before traveling, it's more free, and you can also go fishing 🎣! About landing on the islands: Currently, only Yinyu Island and Quanfu Island are open, and there are speedboats from the cruise ship to the islands every day. The flag-raising ceremony on Yinyu Island is quite shocking 😲, and there are delicious seafood to taste, which is extremely fresh 😋! Quanfu Island is uninhabited, only suitable for taking photos, extremely exposed to the sun, with no shelter, so everyone quickly leaves after taking photos 🚶! About water activities: Currently, there are no water activities available on the cruise ship (such as snorkeling, swimming, paddleboarding, etc.), but you can inquire about the situation on the sailing boat 🙋! ⚠️ Precautions: Wear sandals or slippers with heels on the island 👡, prepare in advance! Be sure to apply sunscreen, it's really extremely sunny, with no shade at all 🌚! There is no signal at sea 📶, download some shows in advance! Be sure to wake up early to watch the sunrise 🌅, it's beautiful!
