In a unique natural environment, I saw a 30m dragon tree. The bright red sap of the dragon tree is said to be used as a medicine and paint.

    Sokotra Island is located south of the Arabian Peninsula, at the intersection of the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Aden. It is part of the Indian Ocean Islands and was listed as a direct natural heritage in 2008. Isn't it beautiful to see the sea view? And the dragon blood tree is very characteristic.

    Speaking of niche attractions, this small island forgotten by world civilization is the most wanting to plant grass for everyone, that is the magical Sokotra Island! It was separated from the continental plate millions of years ago, and long-term geographical isolation has generated many uniquely shaped plants, similar to the alien territory in large areas, and filled with a strong sci-fi atmosphere. 📖 tips: Sokotra Island (Socotra Island), the name comes from Sanskrit, meaning Bliss Island, 🇾🇪 belongs to Sokotra Province, Yemen. Sokotla Island does not have large wildlife, safety is no problem, but it is not recommended to go personally, at least 3-5 people-🛫 Transportation from China, you need to fly to Sana'a, the capital of Yemen, and then transfer to Hadib Airport on Sokotla Island. This plane is only Mondays and Wednesdays every week. Six only, at least one month in advance to book! ! ! -🌍 Recommended play: There are only 3 main roads on Sokotra Island: centered on the capital Hadib, divided into the East Line, the West Line and the South Line. The Detwah lagoon, Dixam reserve and Araher sandy mountains are the three main essences of Socotra Island, but are located on the Western, Southern and Eastern lines, so it takes at least four days to see the essence of Socotra Island. And to have fun at the island's attractions at least a week - 🌳 Rare Plants Island inhabits many rare plants and animals, most of which are exclusive species here. Especially the island's unique plant Sokotra dragon blood tree, the shape of the strange, the tree canopy seems to be an inverted umbrella, and the resin red on the way, you can also see a large number of famous desert roses (also known as bottle trees because of its strange shape). The flowering period of the bottle tree is a feature of the Egyptian vultures in March every year. But these vultures don't seem to be afraid of humans at all. Anyway, as long as there is a movement of human cooking in the wild, they will surround them from all directions -🏕 B&B because this is still an undeveloped niche scenic spot, and there are few people who know, so the accommodation conditions on the island are not ideal. But hoho still planted grass in [🅰 irbnb] a small courtyard in Oman. Although it is not very close to the island, I think that I can explore this mysterious island and feel that everything is worth it! ! ! 📮 Name: Bait Rashid - Beachside Privacy Location: Muscat, Muscat Governorate, Oman💤 Experience & Highlights ▫ Very private cabin, not shared housing, the space is very spacious ▫ The homestay is designed on the beach, no matter the sunrise in the morning or the sunset in the evening, you can get it as soon as possible! ▫ The landlord is very good, the reply information is very timely, and the communication is very smooth. #Overseas tour #Worth Amway B&B #Small attractions #Planting grass #Small travel place #Where to go on weekends #Take pictures #Take pictures #Travel #Dragon Boat Festival Happy Things #Travel Happy Moments #Private Secrets in the City #Go Where I still want to go #Take a Early Summer

It was on the World Natural Heritage List as early as 2008, and it is really like a precious "Noah's Ark". The dry climate causes many strange plants here. Many species even have a 20 million-year history. The dragon blood tree that looks like a UFO is one of the island's business cards. Although it is slow to grow but has a long lifespan of 6000-8000 years, the dense umbrella tree canopy makes people sigh "Is this real?" 🥀 The mysterious desert rose is also a unique species on the island. Da 4.6 meters, the pink flowers are only blooming in spring, I really want to see it for myself. The most wonderful thing is that the plants and animals here are unique to the island.

The archipelago consists of 4 islands, covering an area of 3,650 square kilometers and the main island of 3,635 square kilometers. The island has been isolated from the continental plate for 18 million years, and long geographical isolation has produced many unique plants and animals. Sokotra Island has 37% of its plants (825 species), 90% of its reptiles and 95% of its snails. Due to its rare biological variety, it is considered "the Galapagos of the Indian Ocean". Inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2008. Sokotra Island has the world's most magical and exotic plant species. The climate of Socotra is very harsh, hot and dry, resulting in the most exotic plants growing here. The trees and plants that survive on the island have survived a long period of geological isolation, and many species have a history of 20 million years, such as dragon blood tree, desert rose, sharp leaf magnolia, etc. Due to the unique vegetation on the island, coming to Socotra Island seems to have come to the alien world, and it has become one of the most alien-like places on Earth~ #Beautiful scenery on the journey #Beautiful scenery #Travel Europe

    Bliss Island | from 18 million years ago natural masterpiece 🌲🟩 Sokotra Island is named from Sanskrit, meaning Bliss Island, is a shining pearl on the Indian Ocean. On this island, which has been isolated from the mainland for 18 million years, the eyes are full of natural ghosts and magical work, and there are no traces of artificial carving. ·🟩 Sodao's most famous plant should be a dragon blood tree, there is only one in the world, no branch. The dragon blood tree, which grows on a mountain, has a large and regular crown, and when its epidermis is damaged, it secretes red liquid and then forms red crystals on the tree surface. Locals said that in ancient times, there were two brothers in an argument, leaving blood forming a dragon blood tree, while Europe and America have two dragons fighting on the island, dripping dragon blood grew into a dragon blood tree. 🟩 No one disturbs the seaside here, only the sound of the waves and the wind can be heard. This tranquility is never found in the city. Here need to be specifically noted, in the island tourism must remember a little, do not try to take away the island's shells, corals, etc., because the island has been listed as a world heritage, the island's propaganda slogan is "Don't take away anything on the island, Only your photos and good memories can be taken away. Overall, it is like a fairyland, giving a glimpse of thousands of years! · #NatureWonders #Small Travel #Island
