If you can choose to travel abroad, I think many people will choose to see the sea, but because there are too many people in those well-known island countries to visit, and overdevelopment to attract more people to travel, often lose the most simple charm, often make people feel that it is difficult to have fun.
However, there is such a "small transparent" country, a very niche island country, where the earliest sunrises can be seen, but few people have heard their names, and people here have no walls, some do not even have roofs, and it is also the country with the least privacy.
Samoa, located in the South Pacific, is not very populous, there are no bustling streets, no endless traffic, no high-rise buildings, and even many houses between them, only a few sticks to build a passage, not even a roof. Everything seems so shabby, but it's such an inconspicuous small country, and the local residents have a super high happiness index.
Their cultural traditions are different. The Samoans who live here, one of the oldest inhabitants in the world, like to live in thatched houses because they are warm in winter and cool in summer, and they are easy to build.
However, thatched huts are not built casually, but carefully selected. First of all, the variety of thatch must meet the requirements of the local environment; Secondly, according to the size of the house, choose the right length of thatch to ensure that the house is stable. In addition, when building a house, it is necessary to lay the bottom with straw and then lay a thick bark on it. This practice is to prevent rainwater infiltration and keep the room dry, which is conducive to moisture and insect prevention.
This poor and backward country has an incredibly unique culture. Samoans not only have a unique language, Polynes, but their clothing, customs and lifestyles are also different and full of mystery.
Samoans like to walk barefoot, both men and women, and they like to wear a skirt made of straw, which is woven from a type of grass called "anat", and the texture is so strong that even if it is cut, it will not break easily. In addition, they like to put a feather on their head, which is not an ornament, but a sign of worship for the gods.
In terms of diet, Samoans are also different from other places in that they do not eat with bowls, but directly with their hands. In addition, they have a special custom, which is naked swimming. All this is simply what primitive tribes look like, which may be difficult for us to accept, but it is normal for them.
Because Samoa is located in the tropics, it is a typical tropical monsoon climate, high temperature and rain all year round, the climate is very hot and humid, coupled with the dense forests on the island, there are many mosquitoes, and the locals are often covered with eczema.
To solve the problem of skin diseases, the locals apply a special leaf called "tapa", which grows in the rainforest and is a natural Chinese herbal medicine. If you choose to visit, be sure to bring mosquito spray to avoid bites.
The capital, Apia, is Samoa's busiest city and has plenty of colonial-style architecture that chronicles its history. The White Bell Tower in the city center, a World War II memorial, is also a landmark here.
It also has some of the most beautiful Catholic churches in the South Pacific, and every Sunday is their event day, when you can see many local residents singing and dancing here. Downtown Apia has the largest traditional market, filled with a wide variety of tropical fruits and exquisite traditional crafts.
On the island of Upolu in Samoa, there is a natural harbour, which is the largest man-made harbour in the world. The entire port has a crescent-shaped shape and a unique shape, standing on the pier, you can enjoy the turquoise water and white waves, in addition, there is a trestle bridge for tourists to see.
The waterfalls here are also spectacular, most of them are hidden in the dense rainforest, it is difficult for us to get close and close, we can only look at it from a distance, even so, we can feel its majesty and shock.
The Sua Trench is the reason why many people come to Samoa and is a place that falls in love at first sight. It was formed by the movement of the earth's crust caused by a volcanic eruption, surrounded by dense greenery and trees around it, forming a circular cave filled with crystal clear seawater, and both sides of the trench are connected to the ocean, so there will always be an inexhaustible source of water.
If you can, you must jump here to experience the fun of falling from a height, but do everything according to your means, you can also choose to walk slowly down the wooden ladder, after all, safety first. A refreshing dip in the natural pool is a great way to cool off the heat, and it's also known as one of the top 10 tourist destinations in the world.
Rich in natural resources and unique history and culture, the most beautiful primitive tribes and pristine Samoans, and the buildings without privacy will be a place to speak. So, visiting here will definitely bring a different experience, friends, will you want to come here to experience a different customs?
