air ticket
In China, there are usually two ways to fly to Fuguo Island. One is to choose chartered flight of Vietnam Airlines, which is the most convenient and fast. Chartered flight and Shanghai fly directly to Fuguo Island, which was just opened at the end of July.
We can reach Guofu Island in five hours. But chartered flight is only available in winter and summer vacations. Usually, if you want to take Vietnam Airlines to Fuguo Island, you need to transfer in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City.
The second is to choose China Southern Airlines and transfer in Guangzhou. The advantage is that if you choose the connecting flight of China Southern Airlines with a long connecting flight interval, you can go around Guangzhou, get something to eat and stay for one night. And if the connecting flight time is more than 8 hours and less than 48 hours, China Southern will send you a hotel for one night for free. It's too exciting for foodies.
visa
The entry and exit policies of Fuguo Island are different from those of Vietnam. After landing in Fuguo Island, the new passport with the word "E" will take two two-inch photos. As long as there is a visa paper for landing visa at the customs, the old passport can enter the customs directly without a visa. In the true sense, just leave.
Oh, by the way, Fuguo Island Customs is very friendly and has no habit of tipping.
climate
Fuguo Island has a subtropical monsoon climate, with only two seasons in a year, namely, rainy season of 65438+ 10 and dry season of1~ September. The average annual rainfall is 2879 mm and the average annual temperature is 27. It is suitable for traveling all year round. Locals say that the rainy season this year is a little earlier than in previous years, so August is the time for the handover of dry season and rainy season, both sunny and rainy. But the temperature of 30 degrees is very suitable for traveling, especially for those of us who have experienced the high temperature of 40 degrees in Magic Capital. It's just a summer vacation when you get there.
monetary exchange rate
The Vietnamese dong is a relatively worthless currency, which is worse than the Indonesian rupiah I contacted before. Every day when you spend money, you have to go through a particularly painful counting, in order to avoid treating 100 thousand as 10 thousand flowers The simplest conversion method is to remove the last four zeros and multiply them by three. The list price of the local restaurant menu is the price after omitting the last three zeros.
Fuguo Island is relatively primitive, and there are not many places to exchange money. Money is basically exchanged in dollars, and locals basically don't accept RMB. There are several ATMs around the airport and night market, but sometimes there is no money in the ATMs. We basically exchange dollars at the front desk of the hotel, and we can swipe our cards if we can. Although the hotel's exchange rate is certainly not as good as the real-time exchange rate of ATM, it is not too bad.
There is an ATM in the elevator on the right-hand side from the airport to the boarding gate, but when we arrived, there was no cash in it, so we can try our luck. Others, I also saw 1 and 2 on the way back and forth in the night market; If you live in Novotel, there is one in front of the hotel.
Local call
Fuguo Island is so small that there is almost no public transportation. At present, Fuguo Island does not support chartered driving. You can take a taxi or rent a motorcycle (motorcycles can be rented directly without a driver's license, but local motorcycles are very fast, so tourists are entirely responsible for the accident, so motorcycles are not recommended).
public safety
Compared with the native wild, the undeveloped Fuguo Island is simple in folk customs and basically has no wanton smuggling. Girls should not go out alone at night. If they want to go out, they'd better be accompanied. At other times, you can basically play with confidence.
Communication internet access
Hotel rooms and public areas in Fuguo Island basically have free wifi coverage. In addition, we rented a global roaming Wi-Fi to meet the internet demand outside the hotel. It is very convenient to get it back at the airport. You need to find restaurants and navigation in the night market, all thanks to this Wi-Fi.
airport
It is about12km away from Dongdong Town Center. This road is called TranHung.
Road (into the gathering area, this road is full of seafood stalls). Many hotels have free airport shuttle service. On which website did you make a reservation? Ask the staff of that website to call to confirm your flight time. If you don't pick up the plane for free, you don't need to book in advance at all. Booking in advance is definitely expensive. There are many taxis at the scene, and there are many young ladies of taxi companies at the entrance to attract customers (but it is said that they are not from taxi companies, but are recruited by the local government for the convenience of tourists). Don't worry about detours. There is only one road on the island, and the taxi prices of different colors are still different. Although the starting price is 6K, 8K and 9 K, the price within 1.5km is similar, but the price of different cars within 5km is 20,000 (don't ask me why), and the cheapest one is white vinsun.
Taxis, yellow ones are almost the same, green ones and the most expensive ones are silver-gray. But the price of a 7-seat taxi is different from that of a 4-seat taxi.
Every town has beaches and fishing villages, but they are not primitive fishing villages. Although the high temperature on the island is only 32 or 33 degrees, the direct sun is even more sinister than the 37-degree sun in Zhejiang, and the sky is really blue. 11-May is a dry season, but the annual rainfall is heavy, and there are thunderstorms almost every day, which come and go quickly. In dry season, the sea is clear and calm, which is the best time to travel; 65438+1June-June rainy season, with heavy rainfall and long time, turbid sea water and heavy wind and waves. There is a big difference between dry season and rainy season. Generally speaking, the sea water in the north is clearer than that in the south, and the sea water in the west is clearer than that in the east. Of course, the sea water on the outlying islands is better. However, it seems that the waves in the southeast began to be relatively flat in 65438+ 10.
