South Pacific Watanabe Tour (1)

Vanuatu is a beautiful tourist destination in the South Pacific region, not only with beautiful scenery, but also with a simple and friendly Chinese culture. Due to being a co administered colony between England and France, the locals are generally familiar with English and French, so there are no language barriers. Moreover, the locals are very kind and simple, unlike some South Pacific island countries that have strong nationalism and a strong sense of exclusivity. So Vanuatu is a very worthwhile place for Chinese people to visit.

The capital of Vanuatu, Port Vila, is located in the western South Pacific, with a land area of 121900 square kilometers and a water area of 848000 square kilometers. It consists of 83 islands and over a hundred tribes. A pure natural island without any pollution, with white beaches and clear seawater. It is very natural, primitive, and comfortable. Although the economy is underdeveloped, this place is blessed with abundant blessings from nature and is also one of the countries with the highest happiness index in the world.

Vila Port is the capital of Vanuatu, with an international airport and port, and is the political, economic, and cultural center of the country. It gathers numerous luxury hotels and is also the location of commercial centers, food centers, and tourism centers. This place is far from the hustle and bustle of the world, blending the authentic Melanesian culture and century old colonial traditions of England and France, making it a leisurely yet vibrant tropical paradise. Not only are there beautiful beaches, crystal clear seawater, colorful corals and tropical fish around, but there are also rainforests, waterfalls, clear blue lagoons, and the world's unique underwater post office, with endless surprises.

The best choice for sightseeing in the city of Vila Port is the local bus. The bus does not have a fixed time and route, so it stops at a beck and tells the driver where you want to go. The ticket price is generally between 100 and 200 watts per person. You can go to the local market in the city center to experience the daily life of the locals. The various tropical flowers sold in the market are very beautiful, and they cost only a few yuan each. I bought one and put it in the hotel room. Waguo coconuts are very famous. There are small shops on the roadside selling freshly opened coconuts, which are refreshing and delicious, and even cheaper than buying a bottle of water. There are many types of foreign liquors in the duty-free shops in the city, which are very cheap.

There are many Chinese grocery stores and building materials stores in Vila Port, and the locals really like Chinese people because the Chinese government has been very helpful to the country. Hospitals, schools, and sports fields are all built with the help of Chinese people. Vila Port is a base that leads to various islands. For island hopping tours, the planes flying to the islands are usually small, and the amount of luggage that can be carried is limited. Large luggage can be stored in Vila Port.
