Dive into the paradise of the South Pacific and see the world's first rays of sunshine.

Apia, Samoa is a beautiful tropical city surrounded by mountains and rivers with beautiful scenery. Apia is surrounded by lush coconut groves and exotic flowers and plants all over the mountains, showing typical tropical scenery. Most of the buildings in the urban area are two-story wooden structures, and the architectural style is a combination of the characteristics of Pacific island countries and Western architectural styles. In addition to the city of Apia, other attractions in Samoa are also worth visiting. Upolu Island has the Sopoaga Falls, the Robert Louis Stevenson Museum and more, while Savaii Island has natural and cultural attractions such as the Alofaaga Wind Caves and the ruins of a church submerged by the volcano. These places not only showcase Samoa’s natural beauty, but also give visitors the opportunity to gain insight into the local culture and way of life.
