This really isn’t the Maldives; it’s a glass sea island open only to Chinese citizens

🌴 The Xisha Islands, rated by China National Geographic as the most beautiful island in China, are truly breathtaking! And they are only open to Chinese citizens—who wouldn’t love this exclusive feeling! 🚢 How to get to the island: Currently, you can only reach the island by taking the "Xianglong Island" or "South Sea Dream" cruise ships. You need to register through an official travel agency, which can be easily done on Trip.com—super convenient! 📋 Eligibility for landing: Must be at least 7 years old and hold a Mainland China Resident ID card (Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan residents cannot visit for now). Submit a copy of the front and back of your ID and a white-background photo to the travel agency 5 days before departure to get the landing permit. 📍 Boarding port: Sanya Phoenix Island Pier. 🌟 How to have fun Day 1: Board the ship at Sanya Phoenix Island Pier and start your sea journey. Remember to take seasickness medicine 2 hours in advance and fall asleep to the sound of the waves at night. Day 2: Arrive at Yinyu Island in the morning. The milk-white sandy beach is amazing, and you can play with little fish and try fresh coconut snails; in the afternoon, go to Quanfudao Island to participate in the sacred sea flag-raising ceremony, then snorkel to encounter dreamy coral and tropical fish. Day 3: Visit Yinyu Island again in the morning for sea fishing; in the afternoon, head to Yagong Island, formed by coral reefs. Snorkeling here lets you see many marine creatures, as if entering an underwater fairy tale world. Day 4: Pack up and return. There is a lively farewell party on the cruise to perfectly end the trip. ❗ Notes Plan your trip in advance as tickets are tight during peak season; protect yourself from the sun with high-SPF sunscreen and sun-protective clothing; wear water shoes with heels when landing—flip-flops are prohibited; protect the environment and do not take anything from the island. 🎒 Packing list: seasickness medicine, waterproof phone case, high-SPF sunscreen, solid-color long dress, beach shoes, power bank, and some cash. You must visit the Xisha Islands at least once in your life to experience a romantic date with the glass sea! Hurry and book your trip on Trip.com~
