Speaking of the tropics, the sea, the beach, the sun, you will definitely think of the Maldives, or Phuket, Bohol.
But what I want to say today is that our motherland also has a fairy-tale clear sea - the Paracel Islands. The Paracel Islands are vast in the sea, with low, flat and small land areas, and the highest stone island is 15.9 meters above sea level, with a total of 20 islands below 5 meters. The islands and reefs are all ocean-type islands, except for the bedrock islands composed of volcanic breccia with high sharp stones, the rest are all coral islands and reefs composed of corals and shellfish!
When we went, it was a four-day and three-night trip, and at noon on the first day, we set off at the Lingshui Yacht Convergence in Hainan. Well, if you want to have fun, it is recommended that you bring a variety of equipment, including flippers, underwater cameras, drones, paddle boards, fish tails, spear guns and other equipment as much as possible. In addition, seasickness friends must bring seasickness medicine, otherwise the six or seven-hour voyage can be suffered. But once you get to your destination, you know it's worth all the journey!
Most of the reefs in the Paracel Islands are shallow in depth and cannot be approached by large ships. You can change to a small kayak to board the North Reef, located at the northernmost tip of the Paracel Islands of your home country. Everyone can raise the national flag at the lighthouse boundary monument to take a selfie and leave a proud souvenir photo!
Brilliant sunlight shines in the mirror-like waters, and the white sand beaches on the seabed reflect the ripples of the net and the colorful corals. Clownfish swim non-stop among the anemones. And many fish that can't be named.
The crystal clear waters of the Paracels resemble an endless pool. Snow-white clouds are just above your head, and the sea and sky landscape is really intoxicating!
In addition, I would like to remind you that the first time you come to the Paracel Islands, don't be confused by the beautiful scenery, you must pay attention to the reef in the process of playing, they are particularly sharp, and someone in our group accidentally scratched the soles of the feet. Also be sure to do a good job of sun protection, otherwise it is very uncomfortable to peel off the skin.
If you're all ready, get in the water and take a dip!
