| Is this what the land of red crabs looks like? Christmas Island is a magical reef located in the Indian Ocean, 2,600 km northwest of Perth. It is closer to Asia than the Australian mainland, with a diverse culture and stunning natural wonders. It is also one of the few regions in the world, outside of China and Singapore, where Chinese people are the majority, earning it the nickname "Galapagos of the Indian Ocean." How to Get There Virgin Australia operates regular flights between Perth and Christmas Island, departing from Perth International Terminal. Climate Christmas Island has a tropical marine climate, with average temperatures ranging from 21 to 32°C. It is warm and humid all year round, but it is relatively hotter and rainier from November to May. Attractions 1. Crab Migration: From late October to November each year, the red land crabs migrate, a rare sight in the world. In addition, it is also home to the robber crab (coconut crab), which can grow up to one meter wide and live up to 100 years. 2. Explore the Underwater Paradise: The island is surrounded by coral reefs and clear waters, with over 60 dive sites and warm water all year round. From November to May, you may see whale sharks while diving. You can snorkel directly from Flying Fish Cove Beach to enjoy the coral garden. 3. Island Adventure: Nearly two-thirds of the island is a national park with dense monsoon rainforests. You can explore the forest along the 4WD tracks, walking trails, and boardwalks to discover waterfalls, cliff viewpoints, and beautiful beaches. 4. Rare Bird Watching: Golden bosun birds, frigatebirds, red-footed and brown boobies are everywhere, and you may even see Abbott's boobies if you're lucky. They are not afraid of people, and their nests are often on the ground, making them easy to photograph. Nearby Food and Scenery In addition to the attractions mentioned above, the island's natural scenery is enchanting. The food includes seafood dishes, such as freshly caught fish and shrimp, as well as Chinese-inspired cuisine to satisfy your taste buds. Tips 1. When watching the crab migration, do not disturb their path to avoid harming these lovely creatures. 2. Pay attention to safety when diving, follow the instructor's guidance, and be aware of currents and the underwater environment. 3.
