Bird Island, located in the north of Saipan, is made of limestone, so it is named for its numerous birds.

It has been rated as the second cave diving spot in the world by Diver magazine, and divers can often be seen practicing launching here. The geology in the northeast corner is limestone formed by coral reefs. The most magical thing about the Blue Cave is that the limestone has been eroded and collapsed by seawater for a long time, forming a deep cave with a water depth of 17 meters and the deepest point of 47 meters. The Blue Cave has three waterways connected with the open sea, and light enters the cave from the open sea through the waterways. The blue cave pool can reveal a light blue luster, which is quite beautiful.
Outside the Blue Cave, it looks like a dolphin with an open mouth, and inside it is a huge stalactite cave, which is a natural cave formed by the erosion of seawater. Because the shadow projection of rocks attracts more underwater creatures, all kinds of colorful tropical fish, turtles, devil fish, dolphins, jellyfish, sea urchins ... The underwater world is more wonderful than the land. There are two natural swimming pools in the blue cave, which are connected to the outside ocean through submarine passages. This will be an unparalleled experience for those experienced deep-sea divers.
The Last Command Post of the Japanese army is located at the northern end of Saipan, also known as Barnadillo. During World War II, the Japanese army's headquarters was located in a cave below the cliff.

The commander-in-chief of the Japanese army committed suicide here, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. There are also war fortresses formed by tanks, cannons and natural limestone left over from World War II.

Viva Cliff is a cliff in the northernmost part of Saipan. In 1944, American troops attacked Japanese bases on Mariana
islands, and the Japanese troops retreated to the northern end of Saipan. In order to escape the fate of being captured, the extreme Japanese occupation forces forced men, women and children to shout long live and jump off the cliff, hence the name "Long live the cliff". Later, I erected a Guanyin statue to comfort the soul tower next to the Long Live Cliff, and a hypocritical peace monument was also set up at the highest point of the self-killing cliff. Every year, many Japanese people especially go to these two places to mourn and worship and comfort the souls of the dead. There are about 1 million tourists from Japan on the island every year, and a large number of Japanese tourists here have a lot to do with these allusions. The boat journey is about 45 minutes, and the depth is about 18-3 meters. It is only suitable for diving here for a short time in a year.

Blow Hole is located at the southeast end of Tianning Island and is listed as one of the five wonders in the world. The so-called spray coast means that there are some irregular caves under the rocks formed by volcanic lava. When the tide comes, these caves will spray water like whales. The most spectacular moment is when the height of the water jet reaches almost 2 feet, and everyone will be shocked by the water column sprayed out in front of them! You can see the boundless sea water by walking through the original karst rocks with potholes and green plants. Near the shore, there is a colorful pool. After millions of years of wave impact, a whole row of caves is formed, and sometimes the tide will gush out of the caves, just like the sea sneezing. When the wind and waves are heavy, the height of the tide can reach 2 feet, which is quite spectacular. After the water jet from the water jet hole, the water slowly returns to disappear. If you are lucky, you can also see the rainbow changing in the space between the sea and the sky, which is very beautiful. Far away, you can hear the rumbling sound of the water spout. When you are close to the spouting coast, you can listen with your ears up, which is also a kind of enjoyment!
the forbidden island is located in the southeast of Saipan. The forbidden island is a semi-outlying island: it is separated from Saipan
