Green Island is so beautiful that you won’t even blink! I started to ride a motorcycle around the island early in the morning. Along the way, I saw the unbeatable sea view and emerald green hillsides. The wind blew and my mood was lifted. There are surprises at every corner, whether it is Sleeping Beauty Rock, Guanyin Cave or Sailing Nose Grassland. Stopping to take a photo and feel the sea breeze is like being in a healing road movie.
The afternoon diving trip is the real climax! This time I chose the Shilang diving spot. I was very lucky. As soon as I got into the water, I encountered an elegant big sea turtle slowly gliding past me. Its eyes were very gentle, as if it was also looking at me, its new friend. I also saw a sturdy bullfish making a majestic appearance and several schools of colorful tropical fish flying in front of my eyes. It was like swimming in a dream!
From the sea to the land, the charm of Green Island is so natural and full of surprises. The sea view is beautiful, the diving is great, and the air is super fragrant (it really smells like the sea). This is a place I will definitely visit again in my life!
💞Recommended reason: The weather is neither too hot nor too cold👍

This diving trip to Shilang, Green Island really opened my eyes! As soon as you jump into the sea, you will be immediately attracted by the clear and transparent blue, as if you have entered a quiet and mysterious underwater world. Not long after I got used to breathing, I saw a huge sea turtle swimming slowly past me. It was not afraid of people at all and even looked back at me. It was so healing!
Then suddenly a large bullfish appeared. Its size gave me a slight scare, but it slowly glided past me, looking handsome and majestic. There is also a group of colorful tropical fish swimming around, which looks like a scene from an animated movie, it is totally unreal!
The instructor was very careful during the entire diving process, so even beginners could enjoy this secret underwater world with peace of mind. This diving experience really seemed to open up another world. I fell in love with the tranquility and beauty of the seabed in a second. If you also want to experience the feeling of swimming with sea turtles and being surrounded by schools of fish, then Shilang diving is definitely not to be missed!
💞Recommended reason: You can experience it even if you can’t swim
