Boracay Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
My goodness, this must be the ceiling of the island paradise
The delicate white sand beaches, the azure sea, and the stunning sunset sails... Every casual photo is breathtakingly beautiful, and the hours spent flying here are well worth it.
✈️ About the trip
Since there are no direct flights from Chengdu to Boracay, and I didn't want to go through too much hassle with a child, I chose a group visa semi-independent travel.
🏝 Outbound: Chengdu Tianfu Airport - Caticlan, then a 20-minute boat ride to Boracay to check into the hotel.
🏝 Return: Kalibo - Chengdu Tianfu Airport, it takes a 2-hour bus ride from Boracay to Kalibo Airport.
⏰ Flight duration: About 4 hours
🏖️ Travel recommendations
❤️ White Beach: A must-visit spot in Boracay, known as the most beautiful beach in Asia, with a beautiful environment and fine sand. Divided into S1, S2, and S3 zones, S1 has relatively more people, lying on a thin layer of gauze is comfortable and stress-relieving, and it's also great for taking photos.
❤️ Sunset Sailing: A traditional water activity not to be missed, sailing through the waves at dusk to greet the sunset is a breathtakingly beautiful scene.
❤️ Virgin Island: You need to wait for low tide to walk on the rocks, which will give you a different photo experience.
❤️ Puka Beach: The wedding location of Fish Leong, with jelly-like sea, the sand is not as fine as White Beach, and the waves are bigger, with fewer tourists. The cost here is also cheaper, but be sure to pay attention to safety when with children.
❤️ Friday Beach: An excellent spot to watch the sunset sails, you can walk further north, right in front of the sunset.
❤️ Cliffside Walkway: Located to the right of Friday Beach, viewing the sea from the caves, the beauty of the sea is fully captured, and wearing a beautiful dress feels like a fairyland. There are usually more people in line here, so it's recommended to come before 9 am.
🍜 About dining
Boracay is indeed a food desert, and we mostly dined at the hotel's restaurant during our stay. You can bring some pickled mustard tuber and chili powder, there are many shops in Dmall, but the prices are a bit high, I recommend a restaurant opposite Virgin Island, which is very affordable. Never buy things in the Dmall supermarket, a bowl of instant noodles that costs 6 yuan in China is 170 pesos!!
🌈 Boracay travel tips:
1⃣️ Currently, there are no direct flights from China to Boracay, it is recommended to choose a group semi-independent travel.
2⃣️ Hotel sockets are universal, no need to bring converters and adapters, hotels do not provide hair dryers, TV channels marked PAY are for pay, and a separate payment is required upon checkout. Besides bath towels, shower gel, and soap, you need to bring your own toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo, slippers, comb, etc.
3⃣️ The Philippines is a tipping country, tips are expected for services like luggage handling, photography, and room cleaning, about 50 pesos or so, but coins should not be given.
4⃣️ Sunglasses, sun hats, swimsuits, beach dresses, they all look super good in photos, and sunscreen is a must to carry with you.
5⃣️ The temperature on the plane is low, so prepare a thick coat.
6⃣️ Exchange local currency at the bank in advance, prepare enough cash for shopping on the island.
One day I saw the sunset forty-four times
One day, I saw the sunset forty-four times.
You know, when people feel very depressed.
Always like the sunset.
The sunset on Boracay Island always surprises people, sometimes it is red, sometimes it is orange, sometimes it is pink, why do everyone like to travel? It's for the expectation, excitement, joy, and relaxation in the travel.
Seaside, sunset, beach, beer, afterglow, the earth seems to be writing a gentle letter, to me, to you, the sunset is particularly gentle, the world is all romantic.
The restless heart seems to be lit at that moment.

Boracay Escaped 2022
Me and my family visited Boracay and booked our ticket here at trip.com ! I think this was my best summer since pandemic happened. We booked at Fairways And Bluewater Boracay and I must say that this hotel is one of the best! Also good place to relax ,it's a quite place and no noice really, they also provide free shuttle to roam around the area. They also have private resort which is really a beautiful beach! I think they got 3 pools and they have buffet breakfast too! We also tried a lot of activities at station 1 which we enjoyed a lot! #fairwaysandbluewaterboracay #boracay #trip.com

Bohol Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Sun, Sand and Sea! All for free!
#summerbreak
It was one of the best trips I had in Bohol. I went to visit my uncle and aunt's home in Clarin. They owned a bamboo walk that led to the sea. At the end of the bamboo walk, our boat waited to bring us to the sand bar. There were so many starfish in the area. We had lunch in our boat and swam to our hearts' content. Who said bonding with the family is expensive? I was glad I booked that flight from Trip.com and I was able to enjoy time with my family.
Bohol at a glance
Cute, amazing island with just 2-hour travelling from Cebu city by Oceanjet ferry. Love the ride across the Bilar man-made forest while heading to Chocolate hills, the extraordinary greenary color of Loboc river, the tarsiers are amazing to observe as well. The only thing I didn’t like is the crowd at Chocolate hills which killed a bit of experience to me, as a nature-lovers 😂. Just wish I have more time in Bohol. #summervacation
The place where the blue ocean view stretches endlessly, Bolhol in the Philippines 🌊
#OceanView #PhilippinesTravel #SoutheastAsiaTravel
Bohol in the Philippines is famous for its beautiful beaches and marine environment. You can enjoy various activities such as diving, snorkeling, and island hopping in the sea of Bohol. Even lying near the beach and just looking at the sea can be a complete healing experience. Especially, this place is famous for the most well-preserved beautiful coral reefs, white sandy beaches, and clear sea in the Philippines 🌊. Remember, not all seas are the same 🥰. Bohol, with its emerald ocean view, is a must-visit destination.
📍Bohol
Mirror of the World in Bohol is a visually stunning attraction featuring a collection of life-size and larger-than-life sculptures depicting iconic landmarks and scenes from around the world. The craftsmanship and attention to detail of the sculptures are truly impressive, and the setting amidst lush greenery and picturesque landscapes makes for a memorable experience. The attraction also features a mini zoo, butterfly garden, souvenir shops, and several dining options, making it a great destination for families with kids. Overall, Mirror of the World is a must-visit attraction in Bohol that offers a unique and immersive experience for visitors of all ages.

Fish be with you 🐟🐠🦈
Had an unplanned visit at The Manila Ocean Park. It was my first time visiting the place with my friends and the experience was great and memorable. Saw different kinds of fish and other marine animals. It was very fun especially the bird show and the sea lion show. There were many visitors as they were spending the holiday season with their loved ones. Will definitely be back soon. ☺️
