El Nido, Palawan, Philippines

Saturday, January 28th, 2012

El Nido is a coastal town in Palawan. El Nido is comprised of 45 islands and islets; limestone cliffs are also found here, which form a Karst backdrop similar to those found in Ha Long Bay, Krabi and Guilin. El Nido is a popular destination for locals during the long holidays of the Holy week, but until recently has been relatively unknown to foreign tourists. El Nido is more than just a stereotypical tropical paradise. Beaches, clear waters, jungle, steep limestone cliffs and stunning inlets make for one of the world’s most beautiful seascapes.

菲律宾的爱妮岛可是一个犹如海上桂林的美丽地方,而且人民朴实善良,所以请前去的游客们也都保持低调,注意尊重当地人民生活习俗。

当地有豪华的度假村,也有中等价位的现代化宾馆,更多的则是随处可见的家庭旅馆,但设施简陋,比如只有凉水淋浴。

注意事项:
当地只有下午2点30分到次日凌晨6点供电,所以要上网、充电,甚至洗热水澡都要计算好时间。另外可能会意外停电,所以最好自备手电筒。
