#Okinawa Attractions Miyakojima's Underwater Park has this magical and charming seascape. 🇯🇵🌊A blue ocean and various strange rocks scattered on the beach. 😲 I couldn't resist my curiosity, so I bent down and picked up a piece of stone that looked very ancient, only to find that it was an intricately carved ornament. It seems that the employees here not only know how to appreciate the wonders of nature, but also have the ability to "artificially create nature." Just as I was concentrating on collecting these "natural gems", a tour boat slowly docked at the pier. 🚢 I quickly put down the stone in my hand and rushed to the dock to get on the boat first. Unexpectedly, the captain was a young man who looked particularly energetic. I sat in the cabin and admired the underwater wonders here with his vivid and interesting explanation. 😀 In the Miyakojima Underwater Park, I was amazed by the wonders of nature and admired human creativity. The beautiful sea view and the terrifying "strange rocks" here are definitely a must-see attraction for my trip! #宫古島海中公园 #海洋奇观 #人性创作
