My goodness, this must be the ceiling of the island paradise
The delicate white sand beaches, the azure sea, and the stunning sunset sails... Every casual photo is breathtakingly beautiful, and the hours spent flying here are well worth it.
✈️ About the trip
Since there are no direct flights from Chengdu to Boracay, and I didn't want to go through too much hassle with a child, I chose a group visa semi-independent travel.
🏝 Outbound: Chengdu Tianfu Airport - Caticlan, then a 20-minute boat ride to Boracay to check into the hotel.
🏝 Return: Kalibo - Chengdu Tianfu Airport, it takes a 2-hour bus ride from Boracay to Kalibo Airport.
⏰ Flight duration: About 4 hours
🏖️ Travel recommendations
❤️ White Beach: A must-visit spot in Boracay, known as the most beautiful beach in Asia, with a beautiful environment and fine sand. Divided into S1, S2, and S3 zones, S1 has relatively more people, lying on a thin layer of gauze is comfortable and stress-relieving, and it's also great for taking photos.
❤️ Sunset Sailing: A traditional water activity not to be missed, sailing through the waves at dusk to greet the sunset is a breathtakingly beautiful scene.
❤️ Virgin Island: You need to wait for low tide to walk on the rocks, which will give you a different photo experience.
❤️ Puka Beach: The wedding location of Fish Leong, with jelly-like sea, the sand is not as fine as White Beach, and the waves are bigger, with fewer tourists. The cost here is also cheaper, but be sure to pay attention to safety when with children.
❤️ Friday Beach: An excellent spot to watch the sunset sails, you can walk further north, right in front of the sunset.
❤️ Cliffside Walkway: Located to the right of Friday Beach, viewing the sea from the caves, the beauty of the sea is fully captured, and wearing a beautiful dress feels like a fairyland. There are usually more people in line here, so it's recommended to come before 9 am.
🍜 About dining
Boracay is indeed a food desert, and we mostly dined at the hotel's restaurant during our stay. You can bring some pickled mustard tuber and chili powder, there are many shops in Dmall, but the prices are a bit high, I recommend a restaurant opposite Virgin Island, which is very affordable. Never buy things in the Dmall supermarket, a bowl of instant noodles that costs 6 yuan in China is 170 pesos!!
🌈 Boracay travel tips:
1⃣️ Currently, there are no direct flights from China to Boracay, it is recommended to choose a group semi-independent travel.
2⃣️ Hotel sockets are universal, no need to bring converters and adapters, hotels do not provide hair dryers, TV channels marked PAY are for pay, and a separate payment is required upon checkout. Besides bath towels, shower gel, and soap, you need to bring your own toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo, slippers, comb, etc.
3⃣️ The Philippines is a tipping country, tips are expected for services like luggage handling, photography, and room cleaning, about 50 pesos or so, but coins should not be given.
4⃣️ Sunglasses, sun hats, swimsuits, beach dresses, they all look super good in photos, and sunscreen is a must to carry with you.
5⃣️ The temperature on the plane is low, so prepare a thick coat.
6⃣️ Exchange local currency at the bank in advance, prepare enough cash for shopping on the island.
Once I came to Boracay I thought it was going to be a boring trip full of noises and less attractions. But I was wrong. I spent 7 days on the island and it has changed me a lot. Really beautiful place if you’re looking for peace of mind and refreshing yourself. The people here are very polite and give you the best smile and advices. The workers at the hotel are hard workers and friendly. About the foods, you have a varieties of choices. Foreign foods: Italian, Mexican, Spanish foods, specially Philippine foods and fruits 🥹. You have a full of options about attractions. From parachute, jet sky to deep driving to the ocean, you will definitely find what fits you and give you happiness. This is definitely the right place to come if you are looking for enjoyment. The beauty of the beach kept me speechless. I’m looking forward to come back pretty soon.

“Wow, Boracay was an absolute paradise! 🏝️ My trip to this beautiful island in the Philippines was a dream come true. The powdery white sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant sunsets made every moment magical. Snorkeling in the coral gardens was like exploring a different world, and the local seafood cuisine was a treat for the taste buds. The friendly locals added to the warmth of the experience. It’s a place where relaxation meets adventure, and I can’t wait to go back. Boracay, you’ve stolen my heart! ❤️ #BoracayBliss #TropicalParadise”
2019年7月30日-8月2日(In Boracay)岛屿较大,有很多景点。螃蟹船给长滩岛添加独特的色彩。蓝天白云,大海风帆,椰树沙滩,日出日落,能说话的美让人心醉不已。让疲劳的心灵得到一个舒适的缓解。
Boracay is my favorite Island!!! clean and clear waters, right temperature and warm people!
Went to Boracay Island last Jan 18, 2023 with my husband and all I can say is “can’t wait to go back again!.”Nice white & pure sand with not so deep seaside. Strong winds at the back beach and smooth to mild waves at the front beach.Nice sunrise & sunset too! Kind people and great foods around the island. Best for couple and family outing. 4days is never enough for meeeee.Next time we’ll try to avail and try water activities around the island. 😊
