Male, Maldives | The hidden pearl of the Indian Ocean

| The hidden pearl of the Indian Ocean. Today I want to share with you Male, the capital of Maldives. It is really an underestimated tourist treasure! 🌟Attractions Recommended: 1. Friday Mosque: The most iconic building in Male, its white marble exterior is solemn and majestic. The golden domes of its two side halls sparkle in the sunlight, which is sacred and spectacular. Here, you can feel the strong religious atmosphere. Non-Muslims can also enter and visit with the consent of the staff, but they must dress appropriately. 2. Sultan Park: Located in the city center, it was once the palace of the Sultanate. Although only small buildings remain today, the royal gardens preserved in the park are shaded by green trees and filled with the fragrance of flowers. Taking a stroll through them, you can seem to touch the historical pulse of the Maldives. 3. National Museum: The museum houses many Maldivian historical relics and artworks, from ancient handicrafts to historical documents, showing the country's development process in all aspects. It is an excellent place to learn about Maldivian culture. 4. Fish Market: This is the busiest place in Male. In the early morning, fishermen come back with fresh catches. There are all kinds of seafood on display. It is very lively and you can truly feel the local fishing culture and the atmosphere of life. 🍱Food exploration: 1. Salt Cafe & Restaurant: With a score of 5 points, the restaurant's furnishings are cleverly arranged. Not only can you taste a rich variety of Asian cuisine, but you can also sit on the terrace and admire the vast sea view, enjoying a double feast of food and scenery. 2. Sea House Café: A beautiful seaside restaurant that serves unique fusion Asian cuisine. It is very relaxing to enjoy delicious food while listening to the sound of the waves. It is also a place where locals often visit. 3. Symphony: A Chinese restaurant located in the city center. The chef has superb cooking skills. For Chinese stomachs, it is a blessing to be able to taste the taste of home here. 🏨Accommodation options: 1. SO/ Maldives Hotel: a luxurious choice, rated 4.7, with considerate service and beautiful environment. Both the room facilities and the hotel's public areas are of high-end quality, allowing you to enjoy the ultimate holiday experience. 2. Hard Rock Hotel Maldives: The perfect choice for family trips. It only takes 20 minutes by speedboat to get to the island, which is very convenient. The hotel has a wealth of parent-child facilities and activities to ensure that children can have fun too. 3. Holiday Inn Male: Located in the city, it is the newest and tallest hotel in the city, offering panoramic views of the harbor and the blue sea and sky. The hotel is well-equipped with an infinity pool, conference rooms, banquet halls, etc. It is suitable for both business and leisure. 🚗Transportation Guide: Male Island is not large, and the main means of transportation are motorcycles and bicycles. If you want to go to the surrounding islands, there are public buses on Hulhumale Island. You used to need to take a boat to get from the airport to Male Island, but now with the China-Malaysia Friendship Bridge, transportation is more convenient. ❗Travel tips: 1. Maldives is a Muslim country. You must respect local religious customs. For example, during Ramadan, you should be careful not to eat, drink or smoke in public places. You must dress modestly and take off your shoes when entering a mosque. 2. This is a country where tipping is the norm. Remember to prepare some small US dollars to express your gratitude to the service staff who carry your luggage and clean your room. 3. Male tourism has peak and off-peak seasons. November to April of the following year is the peak season, with more tourists but better weather; May to October is the off-season, with more favorable hotel prices, but relatively more rain. Male has both a strong cultural atmosphere and beautiful natural scenery. It is really worth a visit! My dears, please save this code quickly and come to experience its unique charm if you have the chance💕!
