🚗 Recognize Chinese driver's licenses and can rent a car for self-driving
📷 Drone friendly, basically can fly
🌊 No need to crowd, enjoy the beach
✈️ Domestic departures are usually via Ethiopian, Dubai or Doha, the former is relatively cheaper and has better flight times, but the latter two have a better flight experience. It is said that Chengdu-Seychelles direct flights will resume in November
🌊 Seychelles is composed of 115 large and small islands, with a total population of less than 100,000. Last year's National Day trip, I gave up those expensive one-island-one-hotel, in fact, it is not as expensive as I imagined (tycoons at will), I went to three islands in 8 days and 7 nights, which happened to be the top three islands in Seychelles⬇️
🌟 Mahe Island (Mahe Island)
The capital Victoria is located, which is the main island
Although her beaches are not as white and fine as the outer islands
But the jelly-colored sea is not inferior to the outer islands
The price is also lower than the outer islands
And living on the main island allows you to experience the real local culture
🌟 Praslin Island (Praslin Island)
The second largest island in Seychelles, the most popular
It is also one of the few islands in Seychelles where you can see sea coconuts
There are also national birds African black parrots
With flour-like fine sand and gradient glass sea
🌟 Silhouette Island (Silhouette Island)
The third largest island in Seychelles (not La Digue!)
It's the biggest surprise in Seychelles!
Relatively few Chinese go
There are very few online strategies, but it is very popular with Europeans and Americans
The whole island is a national park
Listed as a nature reserve by Seychelles
As a one-island-one-hotel
Compared to other islands with a starting price of 5 figures per night
The price here is particularly affordable

🛬 Seychelles, the "Last Eden on Earth"
Seychelles is an archipelago with mature tourism resources. Each island in Seychelles has its own characteristics. Island hopping is the best way to experience Seychelles. Like a seabird, fly from one island to another and enjoy the wild luxury of Seychelles.
Mahe Island and Praslin Island are more relaxed, while La Digue Island has the World Natural Heritage May Valley. Being in May Valley, you can't help but sigh that the Eden on Earth really exists.
⛺ Mahe Island, the bustling and quiet island
Mahe Island is the largest island in Seychelles, bustling and lively. The mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, and the forests are lush and beautiful.
🧡 Victoria on the island is the capital of Seychelles and the smallest capital in Africa. Walking through the Hindu Temple, the Little Clock, the Natural Museum, the Seychelles National Post Office, and the Bank, you can quickly understand the administrative overview of this country.
🧡 Beau Vallon Beach on the island is a famous diving spot. The clear water and dense coral reefs create a wild and primitive beauty. More characteristically, there is a market for snacks and souvenirs every Wednesday and Saturday night.
🍩 The real Seychelles is on Praslin Island
Praslin Island is the second largest island in Seychelles, with stunning granite and unbeatable sea views at sunset.
Europeans came to know Seychelles because of Praslin Island. As early as the mid-18th century, Europeans spread the word that they had found the legendary Eden, which was Praslin Island. More specifically, it was May Valley on Praslin Island.
In the 1940s, May Valley was still a private estate, and its name was taken by the then estate owner. It became a national park in 1966 and was designated a World Natural Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1983.
May Valley still retains its original appearance. Except for the firebreaks on the periphery, all the plants in it grow naturally. Walking through the tropical forest full of towering coconut trees, an adult's body is not even as big as a leaf.
🧡 May Valley is most famous for its sea coconuts, and there are more than 7,000 sea coconut trees on Praslin Island. Sea coconuts are considered a national treasure by the Seychellois, and they are unique to the region. The sale and export of sea coconuts are strictly controlled, and special permits are required for export, costing around US$300 each. The Chinese have a special fondness for it.
🏨 The wild and romantic La Digue Island
La Digue Island is the third largest island in Seychelles, and it is listed as one of the "50 Places to Go in Your Lifetime" due to its excellent pristine ecology. There are many French-style guesthouses on the island, and children riding bicycles in groups after school pass through the island, full of life.
🧡 Anse Source d'Argent on La Digue Island, also known as Silver Spring Beach, is rated by photography enthusiasts as the world's No. 1 beach. The beach is famous for its pale pink color. The 007 and Jurassic Park film series have been filmed on Anse Source d'Argent. Its most obvious feature is the surrounding giant granite rocks of various shapes, which are very recognizable. It is also the only收费 beach in Seychelles.

I have returned to my country, but my soul still lingers in the southern hemisphere
44 months later, I returned to the first stop in the world
Long-awaited Seychelles
This beautiful island that made me crazy about planting grass 10 years ago
8 nights, did not stay in the popular Praslin Island and La Digue Island
But chose Mahe Island➕Silhouette Island
🌟Silhouette Island, relatively unpopular among Chinese people, is the third largest island in Seychelles, yes❗️Don't be misled by those yxh, she is the third largest island! La Digue Island ranks fourth!
⛱️I really recommend Silhouette Island‼️
The indigenous people on the island are less than 100, and there is only one Hilton Hotel, which is particularly friendly compared to other one-island-one-hotel starting at 1w per night. All are independent villa types, you can go straight to the beach when you open the balcony door, the shallow mint green jelly sea➕the deep blue sea in the distance, every day when I wake up, my eyes are healed
📷The most important thing is that there are no people here‼️Basically, you can find a deserted beach to take pictures at any time during the day. There are no cars on the island, you can Islandwalk or ride a bike. Silhouette also means silhouette, the afterglow after sunset lasts for a long time, and you can also take pictures of the 🌌Milky Way on the beach at night
🚶In addition to soaking in the hotel and going out to play in the water, the most attractive thing here at the beginning is that you can actually Islandhike❗️It's a real hiking! There are four routes in total, the shortest one-way 1.5 kilometers, the longest 10 kilometers, the shortest route can be walked by yourself, and the other three need to be explored under the guidance of a guide

Seychelles is an island country located in the Indian Ocean. There are 115 small and different islands, but only 7 of them have been artificially developed. The rest of the islands are still in the natural state of Nature. The largest island in Seychelles is Mahe Island, and the Fairvieuw Estate observation deck on the top of the hill overlooks the shore. The color of the Indian Ocean water is gradually blue and green, and it will never be forgotten. In addition to the fine sandy beaches, there are also strange rocks here. The sea is also a fascinating shade of blue, but it is a different landscape. The beaches of Mahe Island are wide and flat, and the water is clear and sandy. It naturally attracts many tourists to bathe and sunbathe. It is said that the top ten beaches in the world have occupied three seats here.
the_air.
The romantic resort of Africa, Mahe Island, is the hometown of the sea. The fascinating white sand beach here can satisfy almost all the illusions of the sea, the white clouds in the distance, and the free floating in the blue sky.
The sea water along the coast is crystal clear and the temperature is right. Soaked in the sea, whether it is swimming or playing, it is extraordinarily warm and comfortable.
Along the beach, walk towards the end of the island, gradually away from the crowd, into a more secluded beach, although there is no such fine white sand, with shells and fine stones in between, but it is more primitive and not Carved. The entire beach is surrounded by heavy coral reefs, peaceful and poetic.
Afternoon, the children in the village near the beach swarmed toward the cool waters, enjoying the carnival in the pure sea. They sat around the boat and were free to juggle in the sea. The incomparably hearty laughter has become a unique landscape here, making the beach more life-like, more cheerful and beautiful.
In addition to the beautiful scenery, there are many exciting and challenging water recreation projects. Traveling by speedboat to the sea, the free-moving fish is clearly visible in the clear waters. Holding a banana boat, gently floating on the coast, in the sea, enjoying the beautiful sunset at sea, is an unforgettable experience.
