Experience a seaside sandboarding adventure in Namibia, a place 99% of Chinese people have never visited
🇳🇦 Namibia, a country in the southwest of Africa, is too remote and mysterious for the vast majority of Chinese people. As more and more Chinese people travel abroad and explore every corner of the world, this country is gradually being noticed by more people.
✈️ There are no direct flights from China to Namibia. One can travel from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, or Chengdu via Ethiopian Airlines to Addis Ababa, and then take a connecting flight to Windhoek, the capital of Namibia.
Namibia is rich in tourist resources, among which is the Sandwich Harbour near Walvis Bay, the country's second-largest city. It features a world-class phenomenon: dunes cascading into the sea.
🏜️ This is a relatively well-known attraction in the Western world, and visitors to this site used to be predominantly from Europe and America. The desert along the Atlantic coast stretches endlessly, and under the influence of the sea breeze, a large amount of sand rushes into the Atlantic Ocean, creating a spectacular sight of half sand, half sea.
The best angle to capture Sandwich Harbour is from the air, and the view is extremely stunning when shot from a drone. If you don't have a drone, you can also take a small plane to enjoy the view, which takes about 1-2 hours. Besides Sandwich Harbour, you can also see other places like the Skeleton Coast.
🚙 Another fantastic experience when visiting Sandwich Harbour is to ride a 4x4 vehicle and go sandboarding through the dunes. The moment you rush down from the peak of the dunes, experiencing the thrill of weightlessness, is incredibly exciting.
🍷 The convoy usually prepares some snacks and drinks, and during the break from sandboarding, you can enjoy a desert afternoon tea, which is also a wonderful experience.
