|No visa, just go, it's beautiful. Samoa is visa-free for Chinese passports. This time we took Fiji Airways from Nandi to Apia, Samoa. There is news that Hainan Airlines will resume direct flights from Haikou to Apia in September. Fill in the entry form on the plane when you need it at customs. The border inspection also said thank you at the time of entry, it seems that they are ready to welcome Chinese tourists. There are places to exchange money and apply for a phone card at the airport, which is very convenient. We chose to rent a car for a round-the-island tour this time. The rental company is Budget, $250 for three days. The driver's seat in Samoa is on the right, you need to get used to it, the main road around the island is okay. Accommodation Aga Reef Resort - Recommend the waterside houses, with private beaches, infinity pools and free kayaks. The only drawback is that it is far from the airport. Attractions To Sua Ocean Trench - Samoa's number one attraction, a natural deep pit pool, you need to climb down the ladder, the water is clear and you can see fish, the water depth is about 1.4 to 2 meters, some places have undercurrents and need to be careful, it is recommended to go at noon when the light is good. Waterfalls - Sopo'aga Falls, Papapapaitai Falls and Papaseea Sliding Rocks. The first two are viewed from a distance and are very spectacular in the jungle. The third waterfall is small and you can slide down. Piula Cave Pool - A natural swimming pool by the sea, clear and bottomless with many fish, there may be more people on weekends. Lalomanu Beach - Samoa's most beautiful beach, it is recommended to go in the morning, you can rent a fale for 50 tala a day. Namua Island - You can take a boat at Namua Island Ferry, 50 tala per person, including round-trip boat tickets and fale on the island, if you are lucky, you can see turtles when snorkeling.

One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen 😍 #Samoa #Lalomanu #Tosuaoceantrench #travel #islandstaycation #mood

Samoa is a beautiful island country in the South Pacific. From a geographical point of view, it is more east than New Zealand, just west of the international date line. In other words, here is the place where the first day of the earth begins. If you take a sunrise here, it will be the world's first sunrise, and the New Year here will make more sense. Samoa decided to adjust the time zone of the whole country from the West 12 to the East 12 in order to make it the first place in the world to see the sunrise. In this way, they actually "sacrifice" the entire day of December 30, 2011 - that is, directly on the 29th after entering the 31st. Then, on the evening of December 31, 2011, Samoa, which had just completed the date change ceremony, became the first country in the world to welcome the arrival of the 2012 New Year. Flight to Samoa can choose to transfer in the plane, Fiji visa-free, Samoa landing, so you don't have to worry about visa issues.
