Senbena, located on the east coast of Sabah, Malaysia, is a town in the province of douhu, Sabah. Originally just a small fishing village, it has developed into a famous marine tourism center. To get to senbena, you need to fly from home to Kuala Lumpur or abie, then transfer from Kuala Lumpur or abie to doohu, and then take a bus from doohu airport, about 90 minutes. So, what should we pay attention to when we stay in xianbena? What strategies do you need to prepare for your trip?
Accommodation in xianbena
1. Hotel in town: the price is cheap, there are many fresh shops in Shanghai, and the food is affordable. 2. Water house and resort on the island: it's really expensive, but it's also a real scenery. Eating is a buffet at a fixed place every day. It's very comfortable to watch the sunrise, sunset and starry sky at sea. 3. Other options: potential store, small hotel on the island. Some potential stores provide students with accommodation in general conditions. Small hotels on the outlying islands, such as those on Mabu Island, have some small hotels with general conditions. They are not as comfortable to eat and stay as they are in the town.
Introduction to the island jumping Tour
The town of xianbena is small, just as a transfer station. The main tourist and entertainment spots are on the outlying islands. There are nearly 20 islands in size in senbena. The most popular ones are shibatan Island, Mabu Island, Kapalai, Bangbang island and makin in the south. Today Xiaolang will tell you about the detailed Island jumping strategy.
Romantic water house on the sea
Kapalai, a 45 minute boat ride from senbena, is not strictly an island, but a sandbank between sibadan and Mabu. Its sea is crystal clear, and it is a floating paradise, which can be called a first-class floating underground.
The Kapalai resort on the island is one of the most famous water houses in Southeast Asia, and also the first choice for accommodation in xianbenna. The water house is a stilt building built in the sea. When tourists walk on the solid plank road, they can see the sea creatures shuttling under their feet.
It's very suitable for honeymoon lovers. Facing the sea, they can enjoy the sound of waves in the morning and watch the sunrise and sunset together. In the evening, they can watch the stars together. It's really romantic! But the water house needs to be booked early, and the price is expensive. The average price is about 1500-1800 yuan a night. In addition, objectively speaking, Kapalai is a little small. There is no island, no beach, and it's basically isolated from the world. So many times, apart from snorkeling, it doesn't know what to do. A baby who likes to be busy may feel a little bored~
Therefore, it is suggested that the budget is limited. Those who do not want to live on the island but want to visit the water house and experience Kapalai snorkeling should choose Kapalai's one-day tour. It can not only appreciate the beautiful scenery, but also reduce the cost.
Mabu Island, a primitive Bayao settlement
Mabu island is the largest island in the whole xianbena. It is surrounded by sand beaches. It takes about 45 minutes to take a speedboat from the wharf of xianbena. Half of the island is a resort and the other half is inhabited by the indigenous Bayao people. The unique scenery of Mabu island is formed by the combination of aboriginal life, cultural atmosphere and beautiful coastal scenery.
The Bayao ethnic minority, with a small population of only 2000, lives on the water all the year round and is known as the marine Gypsies. They can dive into the deep sea 20 meters without any equipment for fishing. The only means of transportation is hand-made wooden boats, which continue the way of life of their ancestors hundreds of years ago. They had no nationality, were not allowed to land, and spent their lives wandering the sea.
The primitive way of life of the Bayao people makes the children have no chance to receive education, lack the ability to enter the modern social work, and their steps are bound on the sea. For the Bayao people, the ocean is a complex living body, and the water flow, tide, coral reef and mangrove are all soul.
Mabu island is also known for breeding a large number of marine organisms, including flame octopus, blue ring octopus, sharp fin shrimp tiger and sea eel, which may be encountered at any time, especially by photographers and divers. There are five resorts on the island, which are also expensive for thousands of yuan a night. Friends with limited budget can book a one-day tour. In the morning, they can go diving in Mabu Island, visit native villages, and in the afternoon, they can go to Kapalai to visit water houses and snorkeling. They have rich playing methods and high sex prices.
Dream underwater Paradise -- motor Beijing Island
Motor Beijing Island is about 45 minutes away from the xianbena wharf. When the tide is low, a long sand will appear on the two islands, dividing them into two parts, which will become the big motor Beijing and the small motor Beijing. It not only has the longest and most beautiful trailing beach in xianbena, but also has tropical rainforest and rich marine life. Most of the people who come here are diving enthusiasts. Diving nearby can experience the corresponding extreme enjoyment of the combination of microorganism and ocean ecology at the same time. It is an ideal holy land for divers and underwater photographers.
The underwater environment of motor jingben island is very good. Once entering the sea, it seems to have entered a super large aquarium. There are beautiful fish, turtles and corals. There is a sunken ship 25 meters under the water. There is an underwater mailbox on the sunken ship. You can prepare postcards in advance to do waterproof work and send letters underwater. The staff of the resort will receive letters regularly to help post.
There is no water house in motor Beijing Island. There is only one resort Reff Dive Resort. It's a real island and a hotel, and non residents can't go to the island. The hotel has reached the five-star level, with good food and accommodation. All the living and entertainment facilities are fully equipped. Of course, the price of one night is not cheap. It is more expensive than Kapalai, with an average of about 1600-2000 yuan per night.
