I can't talk about the strategy, because I didn't do too much homework before I started, so I'd better call it "play experience". I hope it can help those who have been looking forward to this content for a long time
In addition, this time we will quote a lot of information from "daoduoduo" website and "poor travel". First of all, I'm not the procrastinator of "daoduoduo". It's just that they have a comprehensive summary, so we don't have to look at them one by one. On the other hand, we really don't have time to look at other contents before we leave. It's suggested that you can also look at other people's strategies from poor travel, maybe you have new discoveries.
Introduction to Long Beach Island
Before you go, no matter how many strategies you make, what you imagine and see are always different. This is the pleasure of traveling. But I still want to tell you what I have seen, understood and confirmed about Long Beach Island, which can be regarded as a psychological preparation.
1. There is no time difference between Changtan island and Beijing. It is about 5 hours from the direct flight to Beijing
2. First find a map of Long Beach Island, which can be downloaded from this link
http://www.daoduoduo.com/thread-31824-1-1.html
3. I'm lazy. I've taken an introduction from others on the Internet, but it's quite comprehensive
Compared with other islands, the characteristics of Long Beach Island are: the biggest feature of Long Beach Island is its white sand beach, which is 4 kilometers long and is composed of white and powdery fine sand. It has been evaluated as the best beach in the world by various travel organizations for many times. The second characteristic of white beach is that the water is clear and the slope is very gentle. If you walk 50 meters into the sea, the water will only reach your waist (but some small areas will suddenly go deep, so you must pay attention to safety). In addition, unlike many islands, there are many sailing boats on the sea of Long Beach Island, which together with the sea form a unique beauty ~ more importantly, You can watch the sunset on the sea by sailing! Golden sky + fresh sea breeze, this is a must experience project. In addition, compared with other islands, long beach is very small. Beautiful scenery, delicious food, shopping, entertainment and so on are all concentrated on a short piece of beach. Besides, the sea is just outside the hotel door, which is very suitable for hedonistic students
4. The area of the island is very small, like the shape of a bone. I don't have specific figures. I can only tell you some distance and time I have experienced. You can take the map for reference
a) From the core area behind the White Beach (d ` mall budget supermarket) to Puka Beach (the top of the island), it takes about 15 minutes to drive a Dudu
b) It takes about 15 minutes to drive a minibus from the wharf of upper Long Beach Island (the bottom of the island) to the core area of Long Beach (d ` mall budget supermarket)
c) It's a 15 minute walk from white beach S2 to bulabog beach, opposite it
d) It's a 10 minute walk from the core area of white beach (d ` mall budget supermarket) to D ` talipapa seafood market
5. Changtan island is divided into rainy season (off-season may October) and dry season (peak season October may). During the summer vacation, it is considered rainy season. It will encounter typhoons. Moreover, it often rains or cloudy days, and the wind and waves are very strong, which makes it impossible to go out to sea, and the color of the sea is not beautiful. What's more, in the rainy season, the waves on the side of Baishatan are relatively large, and there is no way to swim well, Or take a sailboat to the sea peacefully (I will tell you later how I sailed in the wind and waves). I believe that this is not the case in long beach in the dry season. In order to do business during the rainy season, long beach will change seasons in May. The sea activities of long beach will gradually change from white beach to bulabog beach on the other side of the island. It's only 10 minutes' walk. It's calm and calm, but the scenery is much worse than that of long beach
6. In addition to long beach, there are Puka beach, Puka beach, baling Hai beach, diniwid beach and many other beaches on Long Beach Island. I feel that Puka must go. Why do you have to go? Here are the pictures. But in the rainy season, the wind and waves are very strong, so it's not suitable for swimming, but it's very pleasant to just walk and have a look at the scenery. There are few people here in the off-season, and we don't know about the peak season.
There's diniwid beach, diniwid beach. It's tempting just to see pictures taken from Nami
7. Currency: peso is basically used on the island, about 1 RMB can be exchanged for 7 pesos. It is suggested that RMB can be exchanged in China, or US dollars can be exchanged on the island. RMB Exchange on the island is not cost-effective
Air ticket booking and transportation
1. The direct flight takes about 5 hours. If you transit in Manila, it takes 4-5 hours from Beijing to Manila (depending on the condition of the plane, we actually arrived in 4 hours as Air China this time), and it takes about 1 hour for Manila to fly to long beach
2. Long Beach Island is very small, so there is no airport on the island. There are two airports on the big island next to Long Beach Island.
a) Katikaran airport. Caticlan Airport，MPH
Disadvantages: the price of air tickets is expensive, and the airport is very small, so we can only take off and land small planes. In order to avoid setbacks, we chose here. There are four people in a row on the plane, and there are only 70 people on the plane. I think it's rainy day again. When the plane takes off and goes through the clouds, it's shaking, and the mm in the back row is crying.
Advantages: the airport is really close to Long Beach Island
Airport to dock: after leaving the airport, you can find a tutu bus and get to the katiklan dock on Long Beach Island in about 5 minutes.
We take a small plane, the airport is very small, the runway is very short, below is the terminal, like a small conference room, only a baggage claim area
b) Kalibo airport, Klo
Disadvantages: it's far away from carticland wharf, and it takes 1.5-2 hours by car
Advantages: it's twice as big as the caticrane airport. There are more flights. The bigger plane is 737 (3 + 3 seats)
Airport to katiklan wharf: it's said on the Internet that there are big cars and small cars. The small cars are cheap and fast. There's no need to wait for people. When they're full, they start. I didn't take the bus. I don't know the actual price (about 200 pesos on the Internet).
Because I have a large family, old and young, and a lot of luggage, it's very inconvenient to find a car to change, so my husband ordered a full car transfer in advance, including the following contents. The full price of 10 people is 5000P. I think it's quite cost-effective, mainly convenient.
Journey: * a 14 seat bus from carticland airport to carticland Wharf
*Ticket from carticland pier to Long Beach Island (tax 175p)
*After landing, there are 14 cars from the dock to the hotel lobby (our hotel is far away)
Return: * 14 seat bus from hotel lobby to Long Beach Island pier
*Tickets from Long Beach Island to carticland Wharf
*A 14 seat bus from cartichland pier to caribo Airport

Note: when you get on and off the ship, someone will help you with your luggage, 20 pesos each. I think it's better for someone to take it. After all, it's only 3 yuan. Moreover, the board they give you when they get off the ship is very narrow, and it's certainly hard to take another big luggage. But it's suggested to confirm the price in advance, so as not to cause trouble later
3. Airlines to Long Beach Island
a) Cebu Airlines
Philippine low-cost airlines always have special tickets. The website has Chinese. Remember to pay for luggage when you buy tickets. If you are overweight at the airport, you will be charged
http://www.cebupacificair.com/web-cn/Pages/default.aspx
b) Dragon Airlines
It's also a low-cost airline, and there's a direct flight from Beijing to Changtan island. What I ordered was a round-trip ticket from Beijing to caribo airport. Unfortunately, because the airline was grounded by the Philippine aviation authority, the flight was temporarily cancelled, and I was also poor on the Internet. Feilong's flights often can't take off and land on time, so unless it's a direct charter flight, the connecting flight should be decided by other airlines
When it comes to the air ticket, I was definitely informed that I was grounded a few hours before I took off. I also want to praise my husband. When I learned that it might be cancelled the first day, I decided to reserve Air China's air ticket from Beijing to Manila as an alternative. As a result, thanks to the second plan, I was able to ensure the smooth travel of my family. Although it was not a direct flight, it also arrived smoothly.
I also sighed for a long time. In recent trips, I did not do my homework as well as I did once. When I wanted to travel, I had to re book the air tickets. Fortunately, the network was developed. On the way to Beijing airport, I reserved the air tickets of Manila to caripoli, full price tickets, Cebu airlines, with 499 per person including tax, Including 10 kg of luggage per person. At the same time, I would like to remind you that when you bring your computer, don't forget to bring the small key of online banking. Otherwise, the transfer is very troublesome. I asked my colleagues to help pay the money temporarily.
c) Philippine Airlines
It is estimated that it is like Air China, but sometimes there are special tickets, and some of them are operated by Philippine Eagle Airlines, which are also very cheap. We choose Philippine Airlines from Long Beach (caribo Airport) - Manila, 260 per person, including tax, so we can carry 15 kg of luggage. I made a reservation at the same journey counter on qunar.com
I'm used to searching where I go. Which one is cheaper
d) Air China
I heard that Air China flying to Manila is not cheap, so I didn't pay attention to it all the time. However, due to the temporary cancellation of the ticket, I checked where I went. The price of Air China flying to Manila is almost the same as that of suwu airlines, and it can be refunded. You can charge 500 for each round trip. Suwu can't refund the ticket. Even if the reservation is full price ticket, it can only be returned to your account, and can't be used for cash in the future. So in the end, we decided to Book Air China. The plane is very loose, with 3 seats for each person, so we can sleep on our back.
Air China has one flight a day. It flies at more than 8 o'clock and gets off the plane at more than 1 o'clock. It's about 2 o'clock when we change the terminal. We have a 5:30 flight ticket to kalipoli, so we have no accommodation. When we come back, we stayed in the airport hotel, which is not convenient.
But to get rid of the problem of refund, if it's Manila transit, we still recommend Cebu airlines. There are several flights that don't need to spend the night at the airport. I remember that one of the flights left at about 1:00 the night before, arrived at more than 5 a.m., and then there was a plane to caribo at more than 7 a.m., without any delay. The return flight took off from Manila at about 7 p.m., and arrived in Beijing 12 a.m., without any delay
4. Manila airport
There are four terminals, and the airlines are different. So if you book tickets from different airlines, you need to pick up your luggage, get out of the terminal, and then go to other terminals to check in again
T1: usually international flights
T2: Philippine Airlines
T3: Cebu Airlines
T4: Dragon Airlines
There are airport buses between the terminals, which drive around several terminals. Ask the staff, if there is no bus, just wait for a while. I felt that t1t2 was far away from T3, so I took a bus for about 10 minutes. Taxi is not recommended. It is said on the Internet that drivers near the airport are not kind.
Airport bus charges 20 pesos or 30 pesos. I can't remember. It's not expensive anyway
5. Get on the boat of Long Beach Island
No matter which airport you want to go to, you need to go to the cartichland wharf, and then go to the island by boat (the ticket seems to be 20p, and you need to pay an extra 175p). You can go to the island in about 15 minutes by boat.
The boats landing on the island are basically electric boats with supports on both sides to ensure the stability of the boat, which is the "crab boat" noted on Long Beach Island
Note that in the house of catikelan wharf, you need to ask the staff for a map, which is not on the surface. You need to tell her that you want a map, and she will ask you to fill in a form, just fill it out. There should be one in Chinese, one in Chinese and one in English.
6. Cars on the island
The basic means of transportation on the island is the Tutu car, which is the modification of the motorcycle. There is a shed next to it, which can be used for six people. Sometimes there is one person behind the driver. The car is driving very fast, and it feels very dangerous. We support the old and carry the young, but we don't have a seat.
In addition, Tutu can only be driven on the main road, not on the commercial street beside the white beach.
It is said on the Internet that you can take a tutu car. It's 10p for a person and 60p for a chartered car in a short distance. If you haven't taken it before, there's no way to verify it.
hotel reservation
I usually book foreign hotels in the following websites, and I didn't find any local reservation websites this time (I'm not good at my homework, please add if I have)
www.booking.com
www.agoda.com
You can have a look at the introduction of "daoduoduo", which is quite comprehensive http://www.daoduoduo.com/thread-561-1-1.html
I feel that there are four places to book
1. White beach commercial street S1-S3
Along the white sand beach is the commercial street. There are many hotels, restaurants and bars on the commercial street. It is said on the Internet that people will divide them according to S1, S2 and S3, but I don't see their boundaries clearly, because they are connected
There are many hotels here, big and small. The advantages are: it's very convenient to go out on the beach, and there are all kinds of restaurants and bars at the door. Some hotels have their own restaurants and hotels; The disadvantages are: if you want a quiet place, it's not the first choice. It's close to the commercial street, and the bigger hotel will have a swimming pool, and it's very small; No one has its own beach; Due to the prosperous area, the room is expensive.
When I was wandering, I saw a hotel. I think it should be the best hotel on white beach. Let's check the price by ourselves. I don't think it's cheap, but if you pursue location and grade, you can choose this one
2. The hotel on the main road behind White Beach
The street parallel to the white beach commercial street is a road where you can walk by car. There are many large and small hotels on both sides of the street, because every time you go by car, you don't pay much attention to them. But I think it should be cheaper than the hotels on the commercial street. The specific choice depends on the distance from budget supermarket in D ` mall and the condition of the rooms
3. Our reservation for fairyway & Bluewater
I still recommend this hotel. It's especially suitable for the whole family to travel. Overall, I feel that the cost performance is good, and the needs of the whole family can be met. The elderly want to live comfortably, the husband wants to play ball, the children want to swim, and all-round satisfaction. Everyone is very new.
At first glance, the hotel is a resort hotel with an 18 hole golf course. The hotel rooms are basically 3-4 storey buildings, located next to the golf course. I can see my husband playing from the balcony. The rooms in the hotel are very new and spacious, especially the bathroom. Our reservation is a suite with two rooms and a living room, about 1000 RMB per night. The living room is very large. Besides the two rooms with toilets, the living room also has a room, which is very convenient.
There are also three swimming pools in the hotel, two of which are boundless. One is beside the independent beach of the seaside hotel, and the swimming pool is very large; The other is on the hillside next to the golf club. It's also a small boundless swimming pool. Below is the beach and the seaside. There's another swimming pool. It's located next to the room. It's Square and has a bar.
There are two restaurants in the hotel, one is next to the front desk, mainly eating western food, which is a little more expensive, but I'm too lazy to go out, so I have no problem eating; Another restaurant is next to the front desk in front of the hotel, which seems to only serve breakfast; There is a Korean restaurant on the top of the golf club, which provides Korean food. Dumplings and noodles are also delicious. A plate of dumplings seems to be 300p. It's not recommended to eat in a hotel. It's small and expensive, and there are few choices. You'd better take a car to D ` mall. Breakfast I just feel general, and five-star breakfast standard deviation of a little far, less variety, make do with it.
The hotel is not close to the core area (d ` mall budget supermarket) behind the white beach. I estimated it would take 30 minutes to walk, but the hotel has a special car to pick up and take off, which is very convenient. As the hotel park is very large, you can call a car everywhere. Every building has a guard. You can help to call a car downstairs.
The golf course is very good. The first nine holes and the second nine holes are separated into two parts. I played with my husband. I can see the invincible sea view in the last nine holes. It's very good. It's less than 4000p per 9 holes, including the cost of renting poles and cars. It's still very cheap. Others, such as shoes, gloves, hooves and so on, are brought by husbands. If they don't bring them, some rent them. Maybe it's off-season now. There aren't many players. My husband plays 9 holes every morning, which makes him cool.
There is a bad place in the hotel, that is, there is no Internet in the room, neither wireless nor wired, but there is Internet in the lobby, so I deal with the mail in the lobby in those days, but the sofa in the lobby is very comfortable, and the waiter is very polite, so it doesn't matter.
The hotel is very close to Luho mountain, and there is a small playground at the entrance of the mountain. For convenience, we packed a car with the team of the hotel and took us to mount Luhuo. When we got down, we took us to the amusement park by the way. When we finished playing, we sent it back to the hotel. We paid 800p in total
4. Baling Hai Beach Hotel
Nami, for example, should be a good choice. I don't have a specific study. I just see other people's photos and the scenery is very good, but I feel that it's not close to the white beach and it's still a little far to walk. So when I make a reservation, I need to ask if the hotel has a pick-up car. It's more convenient.
Visa processing
As for visa application, I suggest you deliver it to the Embassy by yourself. It's very convenient. You don't have to find someone to handle it. It's 250 yuan per person
Materials required:
1. Fill in the form, 3 pages in one, all of them should be printed and filled in in English. Each person needs to fill in 2 copies
2. 2 2-inch photos per person
3. The original passport is valid for more than half a year
4. Property certificate, the following two options can be, need the original
a) Can provide on-the-job proof, need to write salary, template online look for all, need English ha
b) Or to the bank to do a deposit certificate, 10000 yuan per person can, need to deposit back
5. If you have a child, you need to provide the original and copy of the child's birth certificate
6. Marriage certificate, also attach a bar, need a copy
7. Credit card records, if any, can be attached with a copy
Note:
1. The visa office in Beijing doesn't need to make an appointment in advance, but we only receive the visa materials in the morning and issue the visa in the afternoon. We can get the visa on the third day
2. If a lot of people pay attention to the arrangement of materials, they should put all the people's visa together, then put the forms together in order, and then sort out other property certificates according to people
For more details, take a look here

Itinerary planning
In fact, Long Beach Island is very leisure. We don't need to make any itinerary. We all make arrangements according to the weather every day, and the distance is not far. I'll give you some places worth visiting and time-consuming. You can freely combine them
1. White sand beach
Needless to say, the white sand beach and blue sea water, behind is the restaurant, time free arrangement, want to stay as long as you want. The drop of the beach here is not big, so it is very suitable for swimming when the wind is calm. But it needs to be in the dry season. In the rainy season, the wind and waves on the white beach are very big, but there are still many people challenging in the waves.
In the dry season, there will be a lot of small black people on the shore. If you want to go out to sea, do some sea sports, do sailing short distance, you can bargain with them.
2. Visit D ` mall
If you take a Dudu bus to D ` mall, the driver will park you at the entrance of budget supermarket, and you can enter from here to D ` mall. There are many small shops and restaurants in it. It takes only five minutes to walk from beginning to end without stopping. On one side is the main road, which is the entrance of budget supermarket, and on the other side is white beach.
This ice cream seller is very delicious, especially mango. But tell him to put less cream. It's more greasy
Inside the restaurant every family is overcrowded, I ate a beef soup, later introduced ha
3. Puka Beach
I feel that the sea is bluer than the white beach because there are fewer people. There are some stalls at the entrance of the beach selling beautiful shell ornaments. Unfortunately, I didn't buy some back. We need to make a tutu car here. It's a little far from white beach. I don't see any decent restaurants here. I only see some stalls where local people eat. It is suggested that you stay here for half a day, don't just look and leave.
4. Bali Beach, Nami visit
I didn't go. It's a pity, but I think it's worth seeing the strategy of others, especially the Nami Hotel, where I can choose to eat or make a spa
5. Take a boat to sea (including diving, fishing and other projects), be sure to participate
There are six hours and three hours of different, can charter, are powered boats. The principle is to make a circle or half around the island, and then dock in the corresponding sea area near the island for fishing, diving and so on. Lunch can be included or not. Choose. During the rainy season, we get on the boat on the beach opposite the white beach, where there is no wind and waves. All the boats going out to sea are concentrated here. If it's dry season, they will start at white beach
We chose a journey of more than three hours, including a medium-sized boat with 10 family members and three small black boatmen. We talked about 2500p before, but did not raise the price on the shore. Starting from bulabog beach, we made a circle in the sea area on the opposite side of the white sand beach. We stopped fishing and snorkeling twice in the middle. We brought something to eat on board. We talked about it before
Sea fishing is very simple, that is to take a fishing line, one end wrapped in the bottle, the other end hung two hooks, hanging bait, throw down to catch. Let's talk about it here. Maybe our charter fee is too cheap. Before boarding, Xiao hei and her husband asked for 200P to buy bait. In fact, there are very few shrimps. If I know, I won't let them give it. Forget it, if I have given it, it won't destroy the atmosphere. Everyone was very interested in fishing on the boat. Only my husband caught a beautiful little fish, and Xiao Hei also fished with him, one after another. All the fish were given to us. Because the fish were not big and they were all colorful, we didn't dare to eat them, so we didn't take them when we got off the boat
The snorkeling stayed in two places. As her daughter kept throwing bread, the fish swam around us in groups. There were a lot of them, but the variety was simple. Compared with the snorkeling of Ma Dai, it was far worse. But it was very happy to see the small fish swimming in groups. I feel that the water near Long Beach Island is not deep. It should be tens of meters offshore, but the water depth is only 3-4m. I can clearly see coral and fish, but coral is not living, and its color is dark.
I took pictures with my Canon waterproof camera. It's very clear that this camera has been with me for a lot of snorkeling. I suggest you take a waterproof camera when you go to the seaside. Last time I went to Maldives, I met a Chinese who said that his waterproof camera was rented on Taobao. It's also very suitable. You can ask if you don't have one.
6. Sailing watch sunset 600P grand recommendation
This is one of my favorite projects, but because of the strong wind and waves, I have a little fear, and in the evening, I didn't spend much time on the seaside, so I didn't have much hope to sit on it
It happened that one afternoon after the rain, I had the chance to roam by the sea. Just after the heavy rain, the wind and waves were still roaring, but many foreigners had already rushed into the sea. I admire a self sailor who had been playing for an hour and was skilled. It was a kind of enjoyment to watch. The sailboats on the shore went out to sea one by one. The sailboat was bigger than I expected. People really put on life jackets and sat in the gauze nets on both sides of the sailboat. There were six people at most. Looking at the ships that had just gone to sea, they were all facing the wind and waves, and they were very scared. At this time, a little black came to ask us if we wanted to do it. I don't know where we got the courage to do it. We cut the price of 600P, just the three of us.
The hull itself is very narrow, which is only 50 cm wide. It has two big sails and crabs on both sides, so it's relatively stable. There are 50 cm wide gauze nets on both sides of the boat. We just sit there and can support a rope, which is quite safe on the whole. After we made up our mind, we went out to sea in the setting sun. It was a bit bumpy in the wind and waves, but the feeling of breaking the waves in the wind, which we never had before, was quite good. From time to time, there were waves coming on our faces. It was inevitable to get wet, but how can we go out to sea without getting wet. Note that if you want to take photos, you must use a waterproof camera. Xiao Hei will also take photos for you, and will ask for tips from you. We gave two people 20p each.
It's a pleasure to watch the sunset on a sailboat
7. Luho mountain
It's said that it's the highest place on Long Beach Island, but it's only a few hundred meters. I need to buy tickets. I forgot how much it cost. I bought tickets and went up the mountain in five minutes. It's all stairs.
You can have a panoramic view of Long Beach Island. It's beautiful and worth going up. One hour is enough for the whole journey
I think many people rent off-road motorcycles at the foot of the mountain. If you are interested, you can have a try. I felt that I had everything reserved, and then I took it to a place at the foot of the mountain. I put a lot of cars and went up the mountain.
8. The playground at the foot of Luho mountain
The location seems to be next to the rental motorcycle. If you take children with you, you can go to play and buy a single ticket. Each item is 99p. There are pass tickets for different items. The cheapest ticket is a yard that includes air bikes and birds. There are a lot of things to play with, such as driving a small off-road vehicle, small rapids and so on. I feel that the rapids are more cost-effective. It's a 99p with two small circles. When we were doing skybikes, Xiao Hei also offered to take photos for us. He took a lot of photos, but he forgot to tip him. I should thank him.
9. Marine Entertainment
With old people and children, they didn't take part in it. There are a lot of varieties. Dragging parachutes, banana boats, motorboats, etc. It's not very expensive. I wanted to take children to try parachutes and motorboats, but they said they were too young to take them. I'm sorry.
Don't worry about where to book. Xiaohei is everywhere on the white beach. He will take a picture and ask if you want to participate in all kinds of activities. After the price is cut, they will take you to the sea and take part in these activities on some offshore platforms. Specific price, I suggest to see the experience of others on the island.
10、SPA
Spa in regular hotels are very expensive, about $100-200. The roadside spa seems to be cheap, a few hundred P. it's also because of taking the elderly and children. We didn't arrange it. Many restaurants in white beach also have spa above, which is more formal than the roadside. After all, there is a closed room. It's up to people to be frugal. Let's have a look at it by ourselves.
11. Make a beautiful braid or tattoo on the white beach, which is quite in line with the local style
Delicious and delicious
Most of the places for tourists to eat on Long Beach Island are white beach and D ` mall, as well as D ` talipapa seafood market. Here are some places I have been to
I also list the recommendations of daoduo to you. I feel that they are very comprehensive and you can refer to them. I only went to a few individual places
http://www.daoduoduo.com/thread-440-1-1.html
1. D ` talipapa seafood market
Before I came here, I always heard that the lobsters on Long Beach Island were very cheap, so I went there in the spirit of dundundun lobster. However, the actual situation was far from what I expected.
The market is located in D ` mall budget supermarket. About 10 minutes from the main road to the right, you can see the small alley next to boracoy holiday resort. There is a D ` talipapa brand at the entrance of the alley. About 20 meters from the entrance, you can see the shops turning left. First you can see some processing restaurants, and then you can see many seafood stalls
This seafood market is a small one, with seafood sellers in the middle and other groceries around. There are only 20 or 30 seafood stalls, and some restaurants around to process seafood
Talk about the types of seafood: lobster, big crab (bigger than domestic), all kinds of fish (Red Star spot is great), sea shrimp (there is a very big shrimp, worth eating), all kinds of shellfish, squid
Talking about the price of seafood, to be honest, overturned my idea that seafood on Long Beach Island is cheap. Maybe the Chinese people go too much, they all bargain, and the sellers are all slippery. I feel that the sellers are not real. Everyone goes to the lobster, first cut a very low price, and the Seller agrees. Then he asks if you want anything else. If you don't want it, he will ignore you. The lobster will never be sold to you at the previous low price; If you want something else, you can continue to bargain. If you offer other crabs and shrimps at a very low price, you will also be looked down upon by the seller. In short, the final price we clinched is not the price in mind.
Every chaotic bargaining is carried out by my husband. I really don't want to participate in such a vicious business. Anyway, the transaction price is more expensive than other people's strategies. You can also refer to other people's prices and have a try
As for the life and death of lobster, I have seen other people's strategies before. His family should also pay attention to the fact that if there is ice in the water basin, it is dead lobster. The price will be much cheaper than that of living lobster. Don't be fooled. Later, I went out of my way to consult the owner of a Taiwanese restaurant, and I didn't recommend buying a dead one. I don't know how long it took to die, so I don't want to eat a bad stomach when I go out.
The only thing I think is more real is a crab stall. It seems that her family only sells crabs, nothing else, at least no lobster. The stall owner is an old aunt with round face and glasses. He has some Chinese ancestry. Unlike the local people, his son is different from other stall owners' Xiao Hei. I remember their stall in the middle of the second lane,. I bought two big crabs in his house, both of which were sold at 500p / kg, and 35rmb per kilo. There was also a lot of meat, which was not bad. This is the only one I think is cheaper than others. I recommend you.
Shellfish are about 300 a kilogram, do not think cheap
2. Processing restaurant in seafood market
There are quite a lot of restaurants for processing, but we are afraid that the old people will not adapt to the foreign practices, so we chose a Cantonese restaurant and a Fujian restaurant.
1) Hong Kong Kitchen
Come over from D ` mall budget supermarket and don't go in the alley next to boracoy holiday resort. Go on a little further and you will see the restaurant. The boss is a Taiwanese, and the way to make seafood is Cantonese cuisine. He thinks it's more authentic. Fried crab in typhoon shelter is very recommended, and the fish is steamed well. There's no waste of the expensive red star spot. His mango juice is also very mellow, but the price is not cheap. A cup of 200P. The overall processing fee is not cheap. My husband settled the bill and asked for more than 8000 P for the processing fee and a few dishes. It's really not cheap, but maybe we didn't plan to buy many kinds of seafood with large quantity. Anyway, a table full of seafood tastes good.
Shellfish can be made into this kind of sashimi, which shows the freshness and is really delicious
2) Fujian Restaurant
Just go into the alley next to boracoy holiday resort. The first restaurant on your right is Huige or something. The boss is Fujianese, and the seafood should be good. Lobster porridge is not as good as Hong Kong restaurant. Everyone thinks it's not as good as Hong Kong restaurant, but the processing fee is cheaper.
3) Western style processing restaurant
There are a lot of seafood stalls next to them. They are run by local people. You can try it. The prices are not compared. It's not clear
3. Beef bone soup
Let's talk about the location first. It's not very easy to find. From budget supermarket to s ` mall, go straight inside, past a small round flower bed, then go inside, past the ferris wheel, past the Spanish restaurant, and then go forward, you can see a small fork on the right side, which is the semicircle position in the picture below. You go in to sell things. You can see smoke, a small shop with 3-4 tables, There are three tables at the door.
Unlike other restaurants, which are all tourists, I feel that there are still many local people coming to this restaurant. It may be cost-effective. This price should be the price of local people.
Beef soup is relatively fast. It should be made well. There is a lot of beef stewed in clear soup. The stewed beef is tender and tasty. Then put some cabbage leaves in the soup. The local people's way of eating is to mix the soup with rice. The soup is delicious, so the rice is also delicious. It's divided into big and small bowls. The picture below is a small bowl with at least 7-8 pieces of big beef.
We also ordered extra yellow mango salad and several other iron plate rice. Anyway, it seems that they are all 100-200p, and the taste is OK. Mango salad is mixed with mango and shrimp sauce, you can choose yellow mango and green mango, the taste is very unique.
4、Hawaiian BBQ
I most recommend a place to eat
It's on the white sand beach. I think I have to walk about 100 meters from D ` mall to S1. The shop is very small, but there is a tent opposite it, which can make 10 tables
It is recommended to roast pork chops. They are very fresh and tender. They are divided into large and small portions. The large portion contains about 10 ribs, which are put on banana leaves, and a piece of roasted pineapple. We also ordered seafood soup, rich in content. Also ordered a comprehensive barbecue, seafood, chicken, beef, pork and so on.
5. Yellow cab pizza
Next to Hawaii, there's a pizza shop, and there's a lot of people eating it
The pizza is large in weight, inexpensive and delicious. It's thin skinned
I want to eat their tin ice cream. It's delicious
This is the smallest size
6. Fried banana
At the entrance of Fujian seafood restaurant, there's a banana fryer. Go in the alley next to boracoy holiday resort, and on the right hand side, there's a 10p string. It's fried directly with fresh bananas. It's delicious. I suggest you try it.
7. Budget supermarket
It's just outside D ` mall. It's a little bigger than 7-11. It's full of food and drink. You need to buy a big bucket here to burn the water instead of drinking the tap water from the hotel. It is suggested that you can buy some local off mosquito repellent, which should be effective against local mosquitoes. You can also buy some sunscreen and after sun repair things, and coconut oil, which is highly recommended, 250ml, 175p, this is edible, you can also buy back to wipe the body, very effective for after sun repair, dry skin is also very good. People say that cigarettes are cheap, especially Marlboro. My husband doesn't like to smoke it, so he doesn't compare it. You can also buy some sandwich soda biscuits. I think they are delicious here. Don't buy dried mango here. It's not cheap. You can buy it in the seafood market. I didn't find it, so I went directly to 63 # recommended by others, and bought 7d, which is a little sweeter than Cebu and Philippine. 63 # there's 100p in 200g package and 50p in 100g package, which are brand new packaging.
8. Another supermarket
It's about 50 meters from budget supermarket to the seafood market. At one intersection, it's actually another entrance of D ` mall. But it's not prosperous here. You can see another supermarket with three floors. The things are cheaper and richer. Local people buy more and can have a look when they have time.
First write so much, because of supporting the old and carrying the young, so not all the experience, it doesn't matter, leave a little regret, wait for me to come again next time.
