I had the privilege of diving once in the sea on Wuzhizhou Island in Sanya, and saw the corals swaying in the ocean currents and the dense schools of fish that were gluttonous in the documentary... The photographer's underwater beauty picture on the magazine also came alive in front of his eyes at once, the original dynamic clownfish has its own personality, seeing a strange species approaching in the water, it swims over to look at it, you just prepared to look at it carefully, before you react, people have sent you a small look and then a pendulum tail slipped away.

Natural geothermal heat keeps the water of the Blue Lagoon at 37-39 degrees Celsius all year round, and also allows this beautiful place to welcome visitors who come to explore the wonders all year round, regardless of the seasons.

Nature has given Iceland more than one magnificent sight, and in the southeast of Iceland, the glacier lagoon, the country's largest glacial lake, sleeps. As glaciers began to recede from the Atlantic Ocean, the Glacial River Lagoon began to take shape around 1934, and the clear surface of the lake not only clearly reflected the depth of the sky, but also floated irregularly with large and small glacial snow tips, some of which were indigo blue, and some even carried the black ash lines of volcanic eruptions centuries ago. For those standing on a side of the black sand beach, the lagoon is like a vast ice world, adding a touch of ethereal beauty to Iceland. It is said that many movies have been filmed here, such as "Tomb Raider", "Batman is born", "Who fights with the front", "Iron Kong bravely fights the big devil" and so on. In addition, such a picturesque glacier is not just a place to see and cut off from life, here seals can be seen all year round, they frolic among the icebergs, and use the glacier lagoon as a safe haven for rest and socializing.

Venetian Lagoon, Italy

Anyone who comes to Venice may have a question - Venice is called the Water City, so where does the water in the city come from? It turned out that the city of art was actually situated in the middle of a lagoon. The architecture of Venice is connected by countless large and small canals and 400 bridges, and the entire urban area occupies 118 islands, which are also located in a huge lagoon, the Venetian Lagoon. The lagoon is connected to the Adriatic Sea by three estuaries. The average depth of the Venetian lagoon is only about half a meter, but it provides a breeding ground for many creatures, such as sea anemones, crabs, cuttlefish, squid, oysters, shrimp, anchovies, eels, etc., which are the residents of the lake. It is also because there are so many tiny creatures that birds such as ducks, swans, cormorants and other birds in the upper food chain breed in large numbers on the sparsely populated islands of the lagoon. Now, it seems to explain more why when tourists take pictures in Venice, there are always a few cute geese in the canal, but people are the "natives" here, to visit the door!
San Alfonso Resort "Lagoon", Chile

The "Lagoon" of San Alfonso Resort is a different kind of lagoon because it is artificially made. San Alfonso Resort draws some of the water from the Pacific Ocean and then treats it into the large swimming pool built by the resort. In fact, if it is not viewed from the air, anyone almost thinks that this is a natural lagoon, and they do not realize that this water that cannot be seen at a glance is actually an artificial pool! However, in terms of area, the work built along the coast of San Alfonso Resort can really compete with the natural lagoon, the whole pool is about 900 meters long, the area is about 80,000 square meters (equivalent to the size of 11 football fields), and has been certified by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's largest pool. In the endless pool water, swimming, rowing, windsurfing... No longer have to worry about too many people and not enough space to open their hands and feet. Except for the absence of waves, this giant pond, which is separated from the Pacific Ocean by a narrow shoal, is almost indistinguishable from the sea. However, because of the huge size of the pool itself, its maintenance is also a big project, and it is said that the annual maintenance fee here is 4 million US dollars...

Croatia also has a blue lagoon, but this blue lagoon was formed without coral reefs, and the entire waters are made up of dozens of cute islands. Thanks to the excellent water quality of the Croatian archipelago around the Adriatic Sea, the water in the Blue Lagoon is always "spotless", like green glass covering the white sand, transparent to the dream. Whether it's by boat or snorkeling, one can always clearly see the diverse fish and other marine animals at the bottom of the lagoon. Spiked sea urchins move slowly underwater, marking the health and quality of the water, waiting patiently in some areas and waiting for dolphins to play with you.
