Where to go? 20 thousand yuan honeymoon trip to the island country
In the evening, the plane landed at the airport.
A heavy rain, a bunch of jasmine flowers and a Mabuhay (welcome).
Without time difference, I parachuted from the north to a beautiful tropical island country.
Driving a new car that has just been extracted, with the sea breeze, jasmine fragrance still lingers around. Daydreams in Sunshine Coast Long Beach
When you go to Boracay, you can basically experience three modes of transportation: water, land and air. Fly from Manila to Kalibo first. 45 minutes later, the plane has not landed yet, and the scenery on the sea is amazing. Jasper-like islands dot the vast sea. The middle of the island is deep and shallow green, and the edge of the island is a circle of white around the sea. The sea water near the island is light green, layered outward, green, blue, dark blue ... the color is getting stronger and stronger, and finally it melts into the deep blue of the Pacific Ocean. After arriving at Kalibo airport, you should take a bus to the dock. The weather is hot, carrying photographic equipment, carrying big bags and small bags in his hand, sweating like a pig. I wonder when people around me start to change into shorts and slippers. A fellow tourist reminded me that the boat could not get too close because of the shallow water level. Tourists will be advised to put on slippers and shorts before boarding the ship, so they must change clothes in order not to suffer from clothes. After disembarking, we took a bus for an hour and a half, and then arrived at the boat dock in Caticlan. Then we took a boat to Xitan, southwest of Boracay. According to the hotel we want to stay in, we chose the nearest dock to go ashore, and the return trip is also at these docks, waiting for the yacht to pick us up according to the flight time.

Standing at the bow, someone specially took people ashore. When you set foot on Boracay, white sand as soft as flour is under your feet. The light green sea water near the shore is clear and nearly transparent, emitting a fantastic spot in the sun, and groups of small fish swim underwater. In the distance, the darker and greener waves are almost unreal, and tall coconut trees are swaying in rows. The island children with dark brown skin are all big black and bright eyes, smiling shyly at the camera and holding shells of different shapes in their hands. It is said that this most beautiful island was discovered by several European tourists by accident. After that, it attracted tourists from all over the world with picturesque scenery.
Diving to see corals is the most important outdoor sport here. After lunch, we boarded a sailboat and sailed to the other side of the beach. About 30 minutes later, the tour guide told us that the most beautiful coral reef on the island was at our feet. Put on a periscope and dive underwater. The underwater scenery is as beautiful as a dream! Big rocks, sea anemones and various unknown creatures are colorful. Swimming all the way is like an underwater adventure. Flocks of colorful tropical fish shuttle around, from colorful fans to blue needles. As the sun shines through the sea, plants, rocks and fish, everything is as beautiful as a dream. The water is almost transparent, and all the scenery is subtle. Hold out your hand, the fish swims gently, make a circle in your hand, and then swim freely. It is said that you can still see the little devil fish when you are lucky. Marineland
At night, lying on the white beach, watching the twinkling stars all over the sky, listening to the European and American songs covered by local Filipino singers. Filipino singers are famous all over the world. There is a local saying: Filipinos can't speak, but they sing well; Filipinos can't walk, but they dance well. The pace of life of local people in the Philippines is relatively slow, and tourists here will become "lazy" when they are intoxicated with the beauty of food. With the singing, the sound of the waves and the fragrance of tropical fruits around me, I gradually fell asleep. If the waiter hadn't told me that the performance was over, I might have slept on the beach all night, waiting to be awakened by the waves of the sea the next morning. In this dark night at two in the morning, standing on the beach overlooking, restaurants and shops in the distance are still brightly lit. At that moment, I fell in love with this beautiful island country and wanted to live a romantic life here.
The next day, wandering around various beach shops, I captured the most natural side of Filipinos. Dagert, the owner of the handicraft shop, attracted my attention with his sunny smile. Due to long-term outdoor activities, his skin has a healthy wheat color. His long hair is decorated with ornaments, and his nose and lips are perforated. He has a totem painted with Hannah Branch liquid (blue appears on his skin and fades after a week), and his wrist is decorated with shells. I raised my camera and clapped wildly, hoping to write down this bright smile and bring it back to China. After the shooting, I paid him 100 pesos to tattoo "He" on my wrist. Tropical paradise
There are no cars in Boracay, but everyone's means of transportation are. There are many diving clubs here, so the government stipulates that members of diving clubs should voluntarily go to the seabed to collect garbage every month to protect the natural resources here from being destroyed. When I met the mayor of this island, Mr. Ye Mei, I had a better understanding of the environmental awareness of the residents here. Boracay belongs to province of aklan, and there are other islands in the province. But only this island has the highest tourism value, so most of the government's tax revenue comes from Boracay, and the government will use part of the tax revenue for the development and construction of other islands. It can be said that Boracay's taxation not only concerns itself, but also affects province of aklan's economic situation. Therefore, environmental protection is the most fundamental guarantee for continuing to maintain sustainable tourism income. Mr. Ye Mei proudly said, "Tourism has provided more employment opportunities for the residents here. Therefore, people here will be very conscious and will not destroy the ecological balance to attract more tourists. " Seaside utopia
Blue Island: Utopia by the Sea
It is a long and narrow island, located at the westernmost tip of the Philippines, surrounded by 1768 islands, and is known as "the last pure land of the Philippines". In the morning, we will leave Manila for Ilan Island, the most beautiful place in the "Modern Garden of Eden". Before departure, local friends specially reminded us that the plane is very small, so don't bring too much luggage.
The airport to Landmark is nothing like an airport at all. It is made of iron like the courtyard of a big house. After getting started, there is a long table in the yard. The plane is really small, only about 20 people, and the weight of luggage and passengers should be recorded. Because the plane is too small, standing in the cabin will push the head, so the airline changed the demonstration of wearing seat belts and life jackets to the waiting room with the flavor of an island country. Although these demonstrations are already familiar, it is the first time to feel outside the cabin, which is particularly fresh.
1 hour later, we landed at Aini Island Airport after the tour. Take a break and take a boat to Landao Resort at the nearby pier. It takes about the same time to get there by boat from the airport, but the pier next to the airport is often limited by the wind direction or tide. If the tide is too low or the wind is not good, use the dock in Landao Town instead.
Although Lan Island is called "Island", it is not just an island, but a whole area. Its original name was "El NIDO", which was named by Spanish people in 1954. NIDO means bird's nest, which is named after a large number of swallows nest here.
Among the 45 islands in Holland, there are only two resorts, one in Minilock and the other in Lagan, with different styles. The former takes local materials and appeals to the natural wind, while the latter pays more attention to building materials and patterns and better equipment. El ·NIDO· Resort operates all the entertainment places on Lan Island, so the two resorts belong to the same company despite their different styles.
Miniloc's resort is based on local buildings in the Philippines. The dry coconut roofs, cut bamboo walls and even the interior furniture beds and wardrobes are all made of bamboo. Miniloc Resort is the first resort in Landau with a history of about twenty or thirty years. Accommodation houses are all facing the sea, but they can be roughly divided into two types: water huts by the sea and cliff huts built by mountains. Among the water huts, the house built on the water is a honeymoon hut, which has little space, but you can enjoy the sea view when sitting in the room. There is a small family room, suitable for family holidays. Although it doesn't look as romantic as a honeymoon cabin built on water, there is a comfortable lounge chair on the balcony in front of the house, which is very comfortable to stare at the sea in a daze. Lagan's resort also has a water cabin built on the sea, but the interior is more spacious than Miniloc; Due to the different building materials used, the overall appearance of Lagan Island Resort is higher than that of Minilock. Whether it is a cabin built on the sea or a forest house built around the swimming pool, they all try to create an exquisite holiday environment. There is a refrigerator, air conditioner and telephone in the room of Minilock and Ragan, but there is no TV. Lagan specially prepared the CD stereo. There are CDs of jazz and some pop singers in the room. You can borrow them from the front desk.
Enjoy luxury and luxury, which can be achieved in many parts of the world. But to customize romance, you need someone to accompany you crazy and realize your dreams. Lan Island is one of the few places in the world that can do it. As a result, Lan Island has been coated with a layer of deep affection, which is called the first choice of honeymoon island. There are many places that have been crowned Honeymoon Island, but Landao is not favored because of a good name, because there are such a group of creative people who serve tourists from all over the world. As long as they make a request, they can sail a boat for a couple alone, arrange a romantic breakfast on the beach of uninhabited island with exquisite tableware and rich food; They can take you to another uninhabited desert island and enjoy a picnic in the shade of coconut trees. Of course, you can also explore caves, go fishing, snorkeling, canoeing and watch the sunset. These activities are all done by two people. The boatmen who are ready to leave at any time, like exclusive drivers, take you and your beloved partner and leave their footprints on every charming island. The world is big and the sea is deep, so reserve an undisturbed space for them to enjoy a rare holiday or a honeymoon time worth cherishing for a lifetime.
