The article "The Rich Paracel Islands" in the textbook when I was a child once made me yearn for this land infinitely. Although Zengmu Shoal is the southernmost point of our country, the two islands in the Paracel Islands (Yinyu Island and Quanfu Island) that I set foot on this time are already the southernmost territory of the motherland that ordinary tourists can reach. Yinyu is a small sandbar with grass but no trees, and seabirds inhabit it from time to time. The altitude is only 2 meters, so most of it is submerged during high tides. The topography of the sandbar is changeable and the scenery is super beautiful. The ecology of Yinyu Island is very good. You can see various creatures on the island, including sand crabs, hermit crabs, shells, etc. everywhere. Take a Zodiac to Quanfu Island. As the assault boat speeds forward, the color of the sea water keeps changing, from black blue to dark blue, azure, and light blue. As you get closer to the island, the coral reefs on the seabed are clearly visible. Quanfu Island is formed by the impact of coral sand, and the beach is piled with white, soft sea sand. The water around the island is relatively shallow, reflecting charming light blue and light green colors in the sunlight. Because the island is uninhabited, the sea water is exceptionally clear and transparent. Every island has a national flag, which marks that Xisha is our country’s territory and territory, and patriotism arises spontaneously.
