In the two
In the two days of Tanna Island in Vanuatu, I lived in an amusement park carefully crafted by Jiangnan Beauty Lei Lei: Evergreen Evergreen Resort. The green off-road from the airport is unique, with Chinese gardens, Romanesque architecture, Southeast Asian-style rooms, Greek-style pools, and landscapes surrounded by the South Pacific Ocean, where you can snorkel with coral tropical fish with your feet down. Can be described as Vanuatu's Disney.

It takes o
It takes only ten minutes to climb along the trail at the foot of the Azores. The whole volcano is like a huge stone bowl, standing on the ground.
The bottom of the tumbling magma, carrying heavy boulder, continually sprayed into the air, turned into a thick smoke, the whole piece of land pressed black. Until the evening of the sun, the red flame, accompanied by the radiant glow, dyed the heavens and the earth as a fiery red.

The bright
The bright sunshine in the morning always takes care of the coastline in the northwest of Tanah Island. The blue sea is full of ripples, and the tides on the shore retreat to the distance. In the pure sea water, the coral reefs connected to each other stretch for dozens of miles, with an elliptical blue water area in between, overlooking the sky, like the pupil of the sea, the magical Tanner Blue Cave.
The mysterious and fantastic blue hole is like a dazzling pearl on the coast of the island, surrounded by beautiful corals. From the pocket-sized Tanner Airport, take the pickup truck all the way to the north, accompanied by the dust flying along the way, through the quaint paths surrounded by the jungle, and soon you can reach the waters where the blue caves are located. The best way to experience the charm of the Blue Cave is undoubtedly in the morning, accompanied by the sunshine of the hustle and bustle, personally sneak into the warm sea. With the free movement of marine life, walk through the dreamy underwater world.

The tribes
The tribes of Vanuatu have their own characteristics. This tribe is called Black Magic. People here love to climb trees. Children love to climb, adults also love to climb, you climb and climb, but also sneaky, sneaky, and forget it, but also from the depths of the forest, a few people who took weapons, ambush for so long, finally see live People? Some children are hiding in the woods, but they are not guilty. However, their voices are not worse than certain animals. They are also ambushing in the ambush. I was scared by all kinds of panic. The grown-up is very calm and praises me: "UR brave!" . . He is really swearing. . The ambush is divided into three or six, and so on, in the trees, in the woods. . and also. . Kneeling on the ground. . The girls' faces are painted, and the men are wearing grass skirts, which is an unforgettable impression.
