An Island Close to Heaven — Bora Bora Island

Bora Bora Island, also known as Bora Bora, is an island located in the Society Islands in the southeastern Pacific Ocean. It is one of the tourist centers of French Polynesia and one of the many islands in the world whose unique beauty and charm cannot be replicated by others. According to Forbes magazine, Bora Bora Island has been praised as one of the sexiest small islands, and this reputation is well-deserved. The island is only 10 kilometers long and 4 kilometers wide, with a total circumference of 32 kilometers. The entire island and the surrounding atoll form the main island, which features clear waters and colorful live coral reefs, with countless tropical fish swimming among the corals. Bora Bora’s beaches are snow-white and very fine, and the equatorial breeze feels comfortable. The sunlight shines over the South Pacific, and the sea displays different layers of blue, with the blue sea and white parasols creating the most beautiful scenery here. American writer James Michener called Bora Bora Island "the most beautiful island in the world."

The natural beauty of this island is indescribable in words; it is like a treasure left to us by nature. On the white sand, stepping on it feels like stepping on a soft, comfortable carpet. When a wave comes, the seawater brings a cool, comfortable feeling, washing away the sand as it slides past your feet, making you feel a little ticklish, and some sand remains, causing your feet to sink into it. The white sand, the blue sea, and the beautiful scenery before your eyes will intoxicate you in the embrace of the sea, making you forget all your worries. Even if you get sand all over, a wave will roll in and instantly wash the sand away, leaving you feeling refreshed.

For visitors wishing to enter French Polynesia, a passport and visa are required. The visa can be issued by the French Consulate in Hong Kong, and the processing time is about 10 days. From Papeete, the capital of Tahiti, you can take a helicopter, scheduled charter flight, or speedboat to Bora Bora Island. When you glide over this resort on a seaplane, you will see the white, sparkling fine sand and the crystal-clear blue sea, which will make you understand the true meaning of "breathtaking beauty."
