The uninhabited island like a fairyland is an excellent choice for vacation. The sea here is clear and calm, the beach is delicate, walking barefoot on the beach, blowing the sea breeze, listening to the sound of the waves, there will be a feeling of isolation from the world. At night, there will be plankton washed up by the waves on the beach, glowing with light blue fluorescence, like the starlight sprinkled on the seaside, which is beautiful and charming.
