I just came back from Semporna and it was different from what I expected.

I always thought that Semporna was just like that, not much to go to.
But when I went there, I was amazed by the sea in Semporna🌊

The sea in Semporna is different from the sea in China. It is crystal clear. You can clearly see the starfish and small turtles on the seabed. It is also very cost-effective and the prices are beautiful. Basically, you only need to spend 💰3k on the island. You can have fun for 3 days and 2 nights with a stay of about 10%.

Travel preparation
🪪Visa: Malaysia is visa-free for China. If you stay no more than 30 days, you need to prepare your passport (valid for more than 6 months) and electronic entry form (fill it out 3 days in advance)
👔 Clothes: Beautiful long skirt (bright eyes are more attractive), sun protection clothing, slippers, etc., sunglasses
📷Electronics: chargers, power banks, British standard conversion plugs, mobile phones, action cameras
🤿Diving categories: jellyfish suits, marine sunscreen, blankets, waterproof bags, diving socks, diving gloves

Travel precautions
▪️Semporna is quite safe. There are garrisons on the islands and patrols on the sea. If you are in the town, try not to go out at night.
▪️Ignore the Bayao children who come to the street asking for something. If you give it to you, you will be surrounded by a bunch of children.
▪️The conditions in Semporna Town are average, so it is not recommended to have too many expectations.
▪️The resorts in Semporna are all inclusive per person, one price is all-inclusive. If one person stays and needs to pay for the room difference, it is recommended that two people travel
