When I was a child, I longed for the Paracel Islands for a long time, and that longing for the mysterious distance has never diminished. At the beginning, through the introduction of the Xisha Islands in textbooks and TV programs, it aroused the deepest curiosity and yearning for the unknown world in my heart. As I grew up, my yearning for the Paracel Islands gradually integrated into every spiritual exploration. Countless stories of adventure in the Paracel Islands on social media ignited my yearning for this magical land like a light. Being in a big city, I am full of glamour for those who are lucky enough to set foot in the Paracel Islands, and the urge to travel in my heart is like a raging tide, which cannot be suppressed. This is no longer just a simple journey to yearn for beautiful scenery, but also a journey to explore the deep dreams of the heart. As long as you set foot on the Paracel Islands, you can't go back, maybe because of the scenery there, maybe because of the excitement there.
(1) The longing of the heart
The seeds of the Paracel Islands, which had been planted in my heart for a long time, finally met in reality and dreams. The Paracel Islands are not just a geographical location, they are a perfect blend of history and nature. These islands are like pearls in the South China Sea, shining with a unique light. The location of the Paracel Islands is both an honor and a mission, representing love and dedication to the southern gate of the motherland. If you want to set foot on this land, you must first have Chinese nationality and identity, which is not only to respect the particularity of this land, but also to a deep recognition of national sovereignty. Every tourist who sets foot on the Paracel Islands is a witness to the national honor and the guardian of this land.
A trip to the Paracel Islands requires a well-planned adventure. Due to the limited number of direct flights, most tourists choose to travel through group tours to ensure a safe and smooth journey. Choosing the right boat is also an essential part of traveling to the Paracel Islands. From speedboats to passenger ferries, each vessel has a different travel experience. The moment I boarded the ship, I felt a sense of excitement and anticipation of stepping into the unknown. However, the climate in the Paracel Islands is changeable, and the wind and waves are often unpredictable. The arrangement of the itinerary and the handling of emergencies are particularly important, and only by flexibly adjusting the itinerary can we ensure the beauty and safety of the trip.
The highlight of a trip to the Paracel Islands lies in the breathtaking natural beauty and unique marine life. The glass sea of Jeonphu Island is known for its crystal clear waters. Standing on the beach, the sea water is like a crystal clear glass, showing the mystery and beauty of the underwater world. The light shines through the seawater, casting a colorful light and shadow, as if you are in an underwater fairyland. The seven-colored sea of Yinyu Island is famous for its changing sea colors. From light blue to dark blue to emerald green, the colour of the sea is like a painter's palette. And that's not all, the emerald sea of Apgong Island, which is only open to tourists, is also a must-see. From a distance, the emerald green water is fascinating.
During the trip to the Paracel Islands, the interaction with the local fishermen added a special flavor. I was fortunate enough to experience the experience of going out fishing with local fishermen, and this feeling of being in real contact with marine life gave me a deeper understanding of the sea. The fishermen returned from fishing and warmly invited us to share in their seafood feast. Sit at a simple wooden table and try freshly caught sea urchins, lobsters and a variety of fish, each of which is a tribute to the abundance of marine resources. This land not only gives us beautiful scenery, but also inspires us to respect and love life.
Although the trip to the Paracel Islands ended, my heart was full of gratitude and reluctance. I am grateful for the wonderful memories that this expedition has brought me, and I am full of respect and gratitude for every living creature who protects this sea. Although the body is about to move away, the heart has long been rooted in this blue sea. For the future, it is full of expectations and longing. I look forward to the day when I set foot on this beautiful land again to explore more unknown wonders and experience more exciting stories. Until that moment comes, everything in the Paracel Islands will remain in my heart forever and become an indelible precious memory.
The Xisha Islands are not only a beautiful place, but also carry the heavy responsibility of national sovereignty and people's deep attachment to the motherland. Everyone who sets foot on this land is a love and guardian of this sea. Visiting the Paracel Islands is like a journey of spiritual exploration, allowing people to experience the beauty of living in harmony with nature. Just as every trip brings us not only scenery, but also the shock and washing of the soul. I hope that I can always cherish this reverence for nature and life, and continue to explore the infinite mysteries and possibilities of this vast world.
