Do you know how many islands are known to humans on Earth? A staggering 50,000. That means if you were to explore one island every day, it would take 137 years! Exploring the most interesting islands on Earth within a limited timeframe is no small challenge for travelers.
Therefore, we have specially launched a series of content - "Island Collection", which not only tells you what the characteristics of each island are, but also teaches you how to have the most fun!
There are so many fun islands that one article cannot describe them all. This time we will introduce the most fantastic part of "Island Collection". It goes without saying that the islands have the standard features of clear water, fine sand, coconut breeze and waves, but these islands have even more eye-catching features:
A huge fish covered with stars swims in the sea
The tarsier, whose eyes take up half of its face, is active at night.
At sunset, birds covered the sky
The red-haired forest man from a million years ago
Resurrected prehistoric monster

With surging magma and jagged rocks, these fantastic islands together form a real-life version of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
Phang Nga Bay is located in the northeast corner of Phuket Island. Because of its karst landform, it is known as "Little Guilin".
It is filled with ingenious stalactite caves, countless strange rocks, sea caves, and hundreds of strangely shaped limestone islands.
Once the tide goes out, the caves that emerge from the rocks become even more mysterious. People can enter the caves of some islands and explore the hidden lagoons. Each cave has a different shape, some are wide, and some are so narrow that you have to lie in a kayak to pass through. It is both exciting and safe.
The most eye-catching thing on the island is the "Cabbage Rock," which stands alone in the sea, unconnected to any other rocks. It's said that this strange rock will soon disappear, so if you want to see it, be sure to do it early!
If you only take a day trip, you will miss the most beautiful scenery of Phang Nga Bay. We strongly recommend our exclusive way to stay in a beautiful hotel facing Phang Nga Bay.
You will spend a morning awakened by the beautiful scenery. Without the trouble of traveling, you can see this fantastic scenery as soon as you open your eyes. From then on, your life experience will be added with another wonderful touch!
Mount Bromo, considered the most beautiful volcano in Indonesia and a highly photographed sight, is also considered Indonesia's most mysterious and violent volcano. Located in eastern Java, it is an active volcano, with chimneys and steam rising from its crater, and eruptions are common. Local residents have built a Hindu temple at the foot of the mountain, where they hold a month-long annual ritual.
People put rice, fruits, vegetables, flowers and even poultry into the crater to appease the dormant volcano in the hope of receiving the favor of the gods, but the volcano still wakes up every few years.

Balicasag Island is an equatorial coral island, a 45-minute boat ride from Bohol Island in the Philippines. It is a world-renowned diving destination.
Seen from the air, Balicasag Island looks more like a giant eye floating on the sea, with blue and green irises and yellow pupils.
The light green part is the not-so-deep coastal continental shelf, and the place where it suddenly jumps into the deep blue is the Balicasag Fault, which has a drop of 3,000 meters and the scenery is quite magnificent.
The coral island stands in the sea like a thousand-meter-high Optimus Prime, with large faults connected to the coral sand, giving birth to a very rich marine life.
You don’t have to dive too deep here, you can even snorkel to see big turtles, fish storms, Nemo, starfish, and various colorful small fish, which are dazzling.
The dragon is a mythical animal in ancient myths and legends of China and other East Asian regions, but at the junction of the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, the "dragon" really exists.
Weighing nearly 300 kilograms and more than 3 meters long, this is the largest lizard in the world. Their ancestors occupied the world 2 million years ago.
If it were not for it, Komodo might still be one of the unknown islands among the thousands of islands in Indonesia. The discovery of the Komodo dragon made this secluded island famous.
Even National Geographic and Animal World have visited it many times to explore its traces. If you want to start your own "dragon hunting journey", remember to obey the guide's arrangements in everything, because its lethality is huge.
Madagascar is separated from the African continent by the Mozambique Channel and still retains its Jurassic landforms.
Originally part of the African continent, it was torn away from the continent 6.5 billion years ago by plate tectonics. Thanks to this "tear," the island's species gradually developed their own ecosystem, completely isolated from the rest of the world. Ultimately, this is where 80% of the island's biodiversity comes from, creating a unique and magical landscape unique to the Falkland Islands.
For example, lemurs, known as the "African pandas," are endemic to this region and are the world's oldest primates. Lemurs are extinct everywhere except in Madagascar.
There are also chameleons, of which there are about 160 species worldwide, half of which live on Madagascar, and of this half, 59 species are unique here.
This place can be said to be like the Noah's Ark on Earth.
