Palau (or Palau) is located in the Western Pacific Ocean, close to the Philippines, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and Guam. It contains beautiful and rich marine ecology. It is a paradise for diving enthusiasts, and it attaches great importance to environmental protection. The clean and deep sea and sky colors have brought many visitors from Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. I am very fortunate to be able to take the Taiwan and Silk Travel Bubble One Train to participate in the four-day KKDay itinerary. This is a compilation of the experience and precautions of the delegation. We can prepare for the long-lost trip!Check the tour fee and departure time

Day1 Taiwan to Palau
1. Airport Tour
Recently, we are dealing with the Songkran activities of the community and the Tourism Bureau of Thailand, and everyone misses Japan so much. They ordered the senbei of Kyoto Kokura Sanbei. They arrived in the first week of April and were rushing to ship the goods, but I didn’t expect to receive one. The letter read "Hi Little Hamburger: I am honored to have the opportunity to invite you to participate in this Palau tour group...", my God!Of course I am very happy to go. The student companion 9527 is willing to participate in the group at his own expense.
Considering that after returning to Taiwan, you can only use airport taxis, family and friends transfers, or drive by yourself. You are not allowed to take Taoyuan Airport or call other taxis. Wendy found that the parking fee is only 150 yuan per day, and the total cost is cheaper than the airport shuttle, so we I chose to drive by myself and parked Xiaoju in the parking lot of the second terminal. The father and son were happily preparing to go to the meeting point. Pao restarts the border gate.
▲ I look forward to gathering people in this place again.
2. Cooperate with quarantine
The group enters the group and leaves with the leader, and walks to the airport quarantine clinic. The medical staff assists in the PCR test. The nasopharyngeal test paper (similar to a long cotton swab) enters the nostril and rotates to take out the sample. The movement is less than 10 Finished in seconds, but when Little Burger saw that my expression was a little uncomfortable on the side, he refused to cooperate in any way. He ran after me at the inspection place and changed to the method of collecting his throat with his mouth open. Of course, the child cried all the way. I kept telling everyone, "My throat hurts~, the doctor hurt my throat~". (Mom laughs)
After completing the quarantine, all the way to the fifth floor, there are Starbucks, 7-11 and Shenghengchang duty-free shops. Waiting for the peach quarantine results to be released. It was originally expected to wait 2 hours, but the speed was much faster. The quarantine for 10 people was completed and the English negative was provided. Inspection result report, this report will be provided to the on-site staff when arriving at Palau Airport today. The PCR test did not feel uncomfortable, nor did it wait for a while like the first team. Instead, Little Hamburg met his first friend, the Pi Niu of a decent couple, and became the screen CP.
▲ Ready to enter the inspection.
▲ Little Hamburg is very brave to complete this task.
3. Large purchases in duty-free shops
After receiving purchase requests from relatives and friends, I originally thought that duty-free shops should be closed. After all, few tourists cross the border. I didn’t expect that the major brands are open. Follow the group’s line of movement to avoid waiting for others to wait. I quickly selected them and chose to return to China. Pick up, remind Wendy to help me collect the receipt, to reduce the inconvenience of having to take a bag of duty-free goods when moving at the airport. Please remember to make good use of the service of returning to your country. The plane is really annoying.
▲ I have not bought duty-free goods for too long, so I miss it!
▲ The seal of departure to Palau.
▲ You can enter the China Airlines VIP room if your character breaks out. (Leave in a hurry)
4. Welcome onboard!
The broadcast sounded before boarding, and I couldn’t help being touched again and again. It has been more than a year since the last time I heard it, and my companion was upgraded to business class with the young master. Little Biscuit, Mom loves the spacious and comfortable seats. Finally, he doesn’t need to huddle with Little Burger. He fell asleep as soon as he got on the plane. Wendy and I enjoyed lunch and red wine easily. Finally, it’s a nostalgic trip abroad. This moment is so unreal, it happened.
▲ Happy Hour for adults.
5. Palau, we are coming
As the plane's altitude drops, the setting sun outside falls on the sea, and you can see the sparkling waves, and you will also see the light green waters of Palau Island. The view from the air is very beautiful!Follow the instructions of the team leader to submit the PCR negative report, complete customs clearance and baggage inspection, etc. After leaving customs, I saw some of the elder brothers of the starting group, including Wen Shikai, Jiu Xiong, etc., I did not expect to meet at the Palau Airport. The trip back to Taiwan, our group of 10 people is about to start a 4-day trip to Palau, wave!
▲ Heaven on earth!
6. Check into Palau Hotel Royal
The Palau Royal Hotel has been in operation for a long time, with the Japanese and Taiwanese as the management team. In 2015, half of the rooms were refurbished and refurbished as deluxe ocean view rooms. All the first group stayed in the new room type. We are the old room type, and the hardware equipment is maintained. Not bad, taking a clean and comfortable route, coupled with the two-bed room type, immediately relieved, a family of three do not need to sleep in one bed, and each other can have a good rest after playing on the water trip. I am used to sleep late. Recognize the bed), but the little burger fell asleep on the bed.

Day2 Go snorkeling in Palau!
1. Must have breakfast
After all, the Palau tour group is one of the most popular tourists in the country in 2024. The hotel has changed to serve breakfast in the form of a set meal. I didn’t eat too much at Wendy’s Burger and thought the portion was okay. However, my friend X (yes! Anonymous!) felt that The portion is not enough. Adding two slices of toast and poached eggs costs 13 US dollars. If you have any feedback on this, let the window know. Judging from the 6 group fee, the portion and sophistication of the meal need to be strengthened. Furthermore, you can only have enough energy to play when you go out. A whole morning of sea activities will really consume your energy! (Come on a weight loss trip!)
▲ Remember to be full!
2. Milky Way
Starting from the hotel wharf, a speedboat flew all the way to the sea. Seeing the invincible seascape, I wanted to shout "It's so beautiful!" When the boat sailed into Milk Lake (the topography of the lagoon), there was a large amount of volcanic ash accumulation and long-term changes on the bottom of the sea, resulting in dense and detailed The volcanic mud, everyone joked to each other "Ocean La X Volcanic Mud Mask must be applied at least 5 catties!", at least 10 catties must be taken away for the anniversary celebration (actually, you can't take it away at all, don't touch the law), and it will be rinsed off instantly when you jump into the lake, the tour guide Follow-up will also assist in cleaning the ship and restoring its original appearance.

▲ I didn't get into the water for too long, but started crying.
3. Blue Coral Reef
The next stop is the Blue Coral Reef, which is famous for its blue blue staghorn coral. It looks like a branch-shaped coral reef under the sun, sometimes blue, sometimes slightly purple, and the water is extremely clear. We shot on the boat I was also very shocked. It was simply a huge infinity pool. I once saw the infinity pool in a five-star hotel in Phuket and looked at the sea. At this moment, I was floating on the blue coral reef. It's domineering!

4. Shark Island (Ngermeaus)
After experiencing two snorkeling spots, 10 one-day island owners across the country shouted in their stomachs. The itinerary was arranged to use a lunch box on the island, which was a Taiwanese flavor with red bean soup, and a long table of people ate while looking at the sea in front of them.After a meal, there is a short airing time, which is the happiest time for Little Burger. I took Pi Niu to play in the sand. The Shark Island beach is shell sand. After a period of recuperation and environmental protection, travel fans can see how clean the sea is. I sent the photos to my family and all responded with envious eyes, of course, hurry up and play!
▲ Eating a desktop lunch box in front of the invincible sea view, 100 points refreshing.
▲ Finally successfully launched!
5. Shark City
In a flat-bottomed dune near Shark Island, it is a place where blacktip sharks gather. As long as the power boat approaches, the school of fish (like tropical fish) will automatically approach. Little Hamburg can only see sharks in the aquarium before. Surprisingly shouting "Shark!", the city kids came into contact with the primitive ecology through the Palau trip, which is the biggest gain of this trip. No matter whether he went into the water smoothly or not, the first personal experience was imprinted in his mind. It was one of the parent-child travels. Ouyi, where can I swim with sharks up close?

▲ Little Hamburg asked me "Mom~Where are they going later?". (Very cute)
6. Jellyfish Lake
It was originally a coral reef island promoted after the crustal movement. The jellyfish lost natural enemies in the sea, such as sea turtles, and then evolved into non-toxic. The tour guide introduced that the water temperature is regulated by rain. There was a year when this important factor was missing to cause jellyfish. A large number of deaths were greeted by a surging army of jellyfish when he arrived this year. He couldn't help but praise everyone as lucky. With the sun, the jellyfish came up to perform photosynthesis. The twinkling light in Wendy's film is very healing. Turning his head again to look at Little Burger. (Why do I throw leaves with you on the shore)
▲ These jellyfish are shining!
7. 7 Eat Restaurant
Back at the hotel at five o'clock to wash and rest. The guide took us to the Mermaid Restaurant for dinner. It is a seafood restaurant opened by Taiwanese. Lu Rou Rice is served with a variety of seafood dishes. Take a shot and start eating immediately!After the end, Little Burger and I slept in the car (Well, what are you tired without getting into the water?) Wendy followed everyone to the supermarket to buy Rooster beer and super cheap Haagen-Dazs ice cream. After returning to the hotel, I brought beer to the member’s room. Everyone chats and organizes photos together, and Little Burger goes to Pi Niu's room to play.
▲ White is the rooster beer on the island.
Day3 Palau continue snorkeling!
1. Giant Clam City
It is a protected area set up by the Palau government. There are various large shellfish on the seabed, most of which are clam shells. They are more than a hundred years old and are quite precious. I once read an article because tourists accidentally got stuck when they touched them, causing them to be killed. A century-old shellfish has been closed and closed to the outside world. Now we can see rare marine life again. We also want to appeal to travel fans. If you participate in the Palau trip in the future, you must comply with the guide's specifications and leave the beautiful scenery to the next one. Hey travelers and local people!
▲ I really hope that Little Burger can swim in the sea like Pi Niu!
2. Big Drop Off
The captain led us to the open sea. The large fault is located in the offshore waters near Peleliu Island. There are various atolls and islands to protect. There are few wind and waves on the sea. It is very suitable for snorkeling exploration. The extension of the atoll group has dropped sharply by 400 Meters, the big cliffs in the sea contain colorful marine life, the colors of the fish are colorful and beautiful, but!Wendy chases a sea turtle...Most of the filming videos are of the sea turtle. When writing a single introduction to the scenic spot, you will see many pictures of it.
▲ The white line distinguishes the boundary between the reef and the fault.
▲ The turtle is at the white arrow!
3. German Channel
There are phosphate minerals in the southern islands of Palau, which are indispensable gunpowder materials in wars. Because of their natural terrain barriers, in the early 20th century, Germany, in order to obtain the minerals and transport them smoothly, exploded a waterway on the atolls and named them.The German waterways are also known as the "Palau Colorful Sea". The tides create water currents. When the weather is good, you can see different colors of sea water from the sea. We are fortunate to arrange carefully with the tour guide and have lunch facing the thorough sea. Take a lot of unmanned aerial scenes and play in the water.
▲ Not losing to the Maldives here!
▲ Thanks to the fellow members for giving me a lot of beautiful photos including the first picture of the article.
4. Long Beach Island (Kemurbeab)
There is a shallow sand beach between the two small islands. As the tide reveals the sea surface, the fine white sand is lined with clear sea water. It is a place for many girls to check in and take pictures. The tour guide was originally scheduled to have lunch here. The tour guide helped to adjust the itinerary. Everyone went to the island to take pictures, and Little Burger was clamoring to go play in the sand, but it turned out!I slept all the way from the German waterway to Long Beach Island, so I had to send Wendy to the game again and set up a "Desert Island Survival" Wilson on the island, posing for a long time... So long I couldn’t help but break my heart on the boat. What to shoot?".
▲ I comforted Little Burger to sleep on the boat behind.
5. Centennial Rose Coral (Cementery)
The tour guide slowly said, "Before Palau used to be buried in the sea, it was an ancient cemetery place." I was a little hairy. The giant corals in the sea are like rose-like patches, and the captain feeds some fish, so it’s not so creepy. On the contrary, it is a lively taste. The small burgers are also clamoring to feed the fish, and the fish can be seen on the boat. The friends who are traveling on the boat are on the boat and quickly picked up the camera to shoot the material. I would like to take the small burger again when I have the opportunity. Going into the water and playing with the fish will be more enjoyable than watching it on a boat.
▲ Rose coral is behind the school of fish.
6. Colorful soft coral area (Soft Carol Arch)
Located under a reef in the Rock Islands, the colorful corals bred by the tide and clean water quality. Palau knows the importance of the ocean to it. The sunscreen products used by tourists are strictly required to be "sea-friendly". Let's go here. When snorkeling, the tour guide will also follow along. In addition to the introduction, they will also be reminded to take care of them. Travel fans want to bring their children to see the Palauan ocean. It will be a great opportunity. It is a great opportunity for children to feel in the city and 3C. Come on, come on for life experience!
8. Helmet Wreck
Palau was affected by the Second World War. Many battleships and cargo supply ships sank here. The shipwreck area that the tour guide showed us was the last relic to be found. A cargo supply ship was lying quietly on the bottom of the sea. My friend, Cai Xiaoniu, praised her favorite attraction with a sense of ruins!Looking back at the sunset on the sea, we will return to the hotel and end the two-day snorkeling activity. How can the time pass so fast? Tomorrow to go to the city for sightseeing, we have to prepare to return to Taiwan. A sense of disappointment arises spontaneously and I don't want to end so soon.
▲ Mike of a decent couple is one of our models.
9. Mambo Fish Restaurant (LIUS Restaurant)
As soon as I walked in, I saw an oversized clamshell next to the dining table. The weight in my hand was too heavy... Ask Wendy to help as a weightlifter. The store will serve the passengers with salad and raw food. In addition, there is also clamshell fried rice. With a variety of seafood and vegetables, the seafood feast for two consecutive days is very exciting. I hope that next time I go to Palau, I will have the opportunity to eat local gourmet restaurants to see the difference in seafood cooking skills between Taiwan and Palau. If you have tried it, please leave a message to share your experience.
Day4 Palau city tour, about to return to Taiwan
1. Lunch at Palau Royal Hotel
During the packing process, Little Hamburg asked me "Mom~Will we return to this restaurant after we go shopping?", I replied, "No, I have to fly back to Taiwan." The child immediately shouted, "I don't want to go back!" I don’t want to go home!”, ㄜ...you are too slow. The day before yesterday, someone cried on the boat and said that he wanted to go home and stop taking the boat. So I was half coaxed to take it for lunch. Thanks to the hotel staff for sending out the bread. Once I feed the fish, I completely forget about going home, of course!When I got on the bus, I said, "I'll be back to the hotel later!"
2. Long Beach National Park
The Long Causeway National Park, which was completed by reclamation, is the Palauan people’s weekend activity site. There is sea water on one side and beach volleyball on the other. It’s cool to walk slowly, and there is a small swing at the end. Swing is also the first time for Little Hamburg to play a swing. Last year, he didn't dare to play in Pingtung's Po's Park, but now he refuses to walk. Besides, Pi Niu is playing together again, as long as he stays on the ground and does not go home !Half-coaxed and half-coaxed successfully drove off the bus to the next attraction.
▲ Have you seen that Little Burger is striving to reach new heights?
3. Abai House, Belau National Museum
Palau’s primitive tribal culture originated very early. The depiction, matriarchal society, weaving, fishing and hunting are similar to the aboriginals of Taiwan. They also experienced foreign rule before and after World War II until the end of the trusteeship and independence in 1994. There are deeds of various presidents in the museum. It can be said that in these two museums, you can see the changes of Palau from ancient times to the present, as well as major historical events, treasured relics and antiques, etc., attractions with high knowledge content, children may not be able to bear it, but it is very suitable for school age Later the children visited together.
▲ This kid is more and more able to pose for photos!
4. Big Mac Burger (Rose Garden Ressort)
If you search for "Palau Burger", most of it is an introduction to a dining car. The guide took us to the American restaurant next to the Palau Hotel. It is famous for its Big Mac burger. When I picked up the plate, I estimated that the portion should weigh 5 kilograms. I helped slice and divide the food. I thought that the thick steak was not delicious. I didn’t expect to feel the unique grilled aroma after a bite. I served it with Coke and French fries, but Xili Sulu was all eaten. The itinerary has this point, Chinese food Don't eat too much, lest you miss this special delicacy. (Hiccup)
▲ "You two are thick~~" (the cat's inner monologue)
5. Bubble Tea Shop
On the way to KB Bridge, the tour guide took us to this bubble tea shop run by Taiwanese. The price is reasonable, and the raw materials are all imported from Taiwan. The boss said that the Palauan people usually taste full sugar and press it twice. I know everyone’s taste. Preference for lightness, brown sugar bubble milk tea is indeed suitable for the taste, pearls are also chewy, opened for one and a half years to become the only bubble milk tea shop on the island, do not follow the brand franchise rely on their own design, out of a unique characteristic route, so People feel admired.
6. Barbetuapu Bridge (KB Bridge / Japan-Palau Friendship Bridge)
The KB (cross-sea) bridge connects Koror City and Barbetuapu Island. The last stop of the four-day itinerary came here. The sunset shines on us, adding some parting sentiment. Suddenly participating in this group is pleasantly surprised every day. , Personality broke out. Does God know what everyone’s intentions are for taking materials? Especially for three days of good weather and sunset. A group of Palauan residents came to play at the scene. They enthusiastically followed everyone to take pictures, representing the majority of Palauans’ love of Taiwanese tourists. If you support, you can rest assured to travel and vacation.
▲ I really can't bear this beautiful country.
7. Palau Airport
In and out of the group, the boarding, baggage check and customs clearance inspection were completed in order. I also reluctantly said goodbye to the tour guide Charlie. I bought a small gift to the community administrator. Thank them for their enthusiasm in the Thailand Tourism Bureau. Little Burger took the opportunity to buy a toy. It was a light-emitting helicopter. After boarding the plane, he held it to sleep. When the plane gradually climbed upwards, he could not bear to say to the ground, "Palau, thank you for the best travel memories. We will visit again next time!". (Waves)
▲ The white frame is the Palau exit stamp, the jellyfish looks so cute!
8. The Palau tourism bubble is successful!
Arriving at the second terminal of Taoyuan International Airport, you need to show the entry and quarantine system completion screen and obtain a health certificate to confirm that an airport staff will lead you to the duty-free shop to pick up the goods you bought before leaving the country, or enter the travel bubble store. Then I went to customs for inspection and baggage collection. In the end, each chose an anti-epidemic taxi, picked up by relatives and friends, or drove home on their own. A group of people returned to Taiwan from Palau for a day to continue work and daily life, and successfully completed the travel bubble mission!
