Xisha Islands cruise guide
This is a practical travel guide to the Xisha Islands ⚠️⚠️ (for collection) 🥹
📍Location of the Xisha Islands
The Xisha Islands are located between 15°46' and 17°08' north latitude and 111°11' and 112°54' east longitude, in the center of the Chinese mainland, Dongsha Islands, Hainan Island, Zhongsha Islands, and Nansha Islands.
1️⃣🚢How to get there
Take the "Xianglong Island" or "Dream of the South China Sea" cruise ship from Sanya Phoenix Island Cruise Terminal, and arrive at the Xisha Islands after about 11 hours. After the cruise ship docks, tourists can take a speedboat to the sightseeing islands in batches.
⚠️ps: Cruise tickets need to be booked in advance.
🎫How to buy tickets: You can search for the WeChat mini program "Cruise Sea Tour" to buy tickets for the four-day, three-night cruise.
2️⃣🚢Cruise cabin issues:
There are several types of cabins, including six-person cabins, four-person cabins, two-person cabins, and deluxe suites. Depending on the cabin, the price ranges from 5,000+ to 30,000+ per person, and the real-time price will fluctuate slightly according to the peak and off-peak seasons.
3️⃣📶Mobile signal issues:
There is no signal during the cruise (about 10 hours), but there is a signal after arriving at the Xisha Islands and on the islands.
4️⃣😵💫About seasickness:
If the cruise ship encounters strong winds and waves, seasickness will be more serious. Friends who are prone to seasickness need to bring some seasickness patches, and try not to take a shower on the ship, as it will aggravate seasickness.
5️⃣✨Highlights of Quanfu Island and Yinyu Island
You can refer to my two articles above for details, and I will briefly mention them here.
🏝️The water quality of Quanfu Island is particularly clear, with a visibility of more than ten meters, and you can see the coral on the seabed with the naked eye. The beach of Quanfu Island is whiter and more delicate than that of Yinyu Island. After landing on Quanfu Island, tourists will hold a meaningful flag-raising ceremony together. On the beautiful island at the southern end of the motherland, in the middle of the vast sea, watching the national flag rise slowly, a sense of pride arises spontaneously.
🏝️Another island that can be landed on is Yinyu Island, which covers an area of about 10,000 square meters. After landing on the island, tourists can not only enjoy the beautiful scenery but also taste freshly caught seafood.
6️⃣Recommended items to bring:
Sunscreen clothing, sunscreen 🧴, hole shoes, sun hat 👒, waterproof phone case, seasickness patch, and it is recommended to bring two brightly colored clothes, which will look great in photos 🍎~
