Saipan is nicknamed "the Pearl of the Western Pacific".
This nickname is not random. Saipan Island, located at about 15 north latitude, is located in the surrounding pollution-free sea area. The island has many natural landscapes, such as the Blue Cave connected with the Pacific Ocean and the bird island inhabited by many birds; There are also many cultural landscapes, such as the American Memorial Park, the "long live cliff" that said he committed suicide after his defeat, and the taga house similar to the chief's palace left by the taga people 3500 years ago; There are also spectacular battlefield relics left over from history, such as warship Island, such as the site of the last Japanese command
Anyway, on this island with an area of less than 200 square kilometers, it can be said that it is a scene in ten steps, which is different.
Of course, since it is an island, how can we do without a beautiful beach?
In the middle of the west coast of Saipan, there is a beach about one kilometer long, named Mike beach, which can be called the most beautiful beach in Saipan.
Because it is located on the west coast of Saipan, the wind and waves here are much smaller than those on the east coast. The fine white beach is very soft. It will be very comfortable to step on it barefoot. What's especially magical is that when you stand on Mike beach and watch the ocean, you will find that there are seven incredible colors in the sea.
When the sun sets, the sky is full of sunset. It will be different to enjoy the sunset here.
The beautiful and quiet Mike beach is recognized as the best beach in Saipan and even the Northern Mariana Islands.
Yang Jing's Hyatt Hotel is located in Mike beach. The hotel is surrounded by 14 acres of tropical gardens and lagoons, creating a luxurious tranquility in the Northern Mariana Islands.
Yang Jing booked three suites in this hotel belonging to the Hyatt Hotel group headquartered in Chicago, USA. one is a 215 square meter presidential suite, and the other two are 117 square meters executive suites.
These three suites, including tax, cost Yang Jing $6600 a day. However, the price is definitely cheaper than that of suites in five-star hotels in Paris, London or New York.
After arriving at the hotel, the party arranged the room and got jet lag. Flying from Port Moresby to Manila and from Manila to Saipan one day and one night is not only tired, but also the jet lag is a little disordered. In addition, today's sun is abundant enough to go out and play. Obviously, we have to deal with strong ultraviolet rays. It's better to have a rest in the hotel.
After a whole night's sleep, everyone was in good spirits when they got up the next day.
Yang Jing is not in a hurry to go to Guam to experience the pleasure of taking an F15 fighter. Chris has rented an eight seaplane with a cargo warehouse for Yang Jing. The most important thing is to go to the Maoge islands for business first. Otherwise, Yang Jing couldn't be interested in playing with a series of transportation lists.
This kind of seaplane does not fly fast, and the flight altitude is not high, only about 800 meters. If you want to visit the whole Northern Mariana Islands in the air, taking this kind of seaplane is undoubtedly the best choice. Because this aircraft has a range unmatched by helicopters and can land directly on the sea, this is the main reason why Yang Jing chose to fly by seaplane to the Maoge islands more than 500 kilometers away.
There is no need for a special airport for the takeoff and landing of seaplanes. As long as the water condition is good, they can take off and land anytime and anywhere.
And God also gave face. The wind was much less the next day. Although the sun was still abundant, it was obviously great to get on the plane with precipitation in this weather.
From Saipan to the maog islands in the north, the straight-line distance is 530 kilometers. In terms of the flight speed of seaplane, it takes about two hours to arrive.
Because of the close contact between the Philippine Sea plate and the Pacific plate, the ancient and cold Pacific plate subducted under the younger and less dense Philippine Sea plate in the Mariana Trench. As a result, the upper plate produced a lot of volcanic activity, which not only formed the deepest Mariana Trench in the world, but also created a series of Pearl like islands on the west side of the trench.
These islands are formed by volcanoes and rising corals. There are more than 800 kilometers of island arcs extending along the Mariana Trench. This string of island arcs is the Mariana Islands.
The northernmost island of the Mariana Islands is a volcanic island called depaharos rock. It is the maog islands about 64 kilometers southeast of depaharos rock.
After taking off from the sea off Mike beach, the seaplane flew all the way north along the Northern Mariana Islands. Naturally, the pilots were George and Chris.
It's not difficult for them to fly this kind of propeller aircraft, and they don't even need GPS positioning to fly in this sea area. They just need to fly along this series of volcanic islands. They don't have to worry about losing their way at all, because they can see an island not far forward and another island not far away from this island.
These islands are the best navigation aids.
Because the flight altitude is only about 600 meters, the scenes on those islands can be seen without a telescope.
For example, when the plane flew over pagan Island, Yang Jing could even see that the volcano in the north of pagan island was still emitting a trace of hot gas.
Although the pagan island is less than 50 square kilometers, it is a terrible island. Because the island is basically composed of two active volcanoes, and the two active volcanoes on the island have erupted on a large scale three times in nearly a century.
As early as 1922, the volcano on the island had a large-scale eruption, and then fell into silence. At that time, the residents who left the island returned to the island. Later, airports and other facilities were built on the island.
However, in 1981, the two volcanoes on pagan island erupted on a larger scale. This eruption not only forced all residents on the island to evacuate, but also completely destroyed all buildings on the island. Even the airport was swallowed by volcanic ash and magma.
Just like the labour airport that Yang Jing once saw in labour, the airport built on pagan island can only see a little outline now.
In 2010, the volcano on pagan Island ejected again. From then on to now, the two volcanoes on the island will emit some gas from time to time. I don't know whether it is the survival between the volcano's silence again or brewing a larger-scale eruption.
Anyway, the island is completely uninhabitable, and no tourists are willing to play near the island. An island with good scenery was completely destroyed by the volcano
Flying about 63 kilometers north from pagan Island, you come to agrihan Island, the fifth largest in the Northern Mariana Islands.
Like pagan Island, this island is an island formed by layered volcanoes. The whole island is a volcano. It has been lifted more than 4000 meters from the seabed and finally exposed to the sea to form today's agrihan island.
Overlooking the volcanic island from the air, you can easily recognize that the island is actually a volcano exposed to the sea. The highest point of the volcano is even more than 300 meters higher than the altitude of a seaplane. However, under the sign of Yang Jing, after George pulled up the plane, people could clearly see the huge crater with a diameter of two kilometers and a depth of more than 500 meters in the air.
In 1990, there was a volcanic eruption warning on agrihan Island, and all the residents of the four villages on the island evacuated. However, the warning did not come true, and the huge volcano did not erupt. Later, I saw that the volcano was very honest, unlike the two grumpy big guys on the neighboring pagan Island, so some residents slowly returned to the island to live.
It can also be seen from the dense vegetation on the island that the volcano has indeed been silent for a long time, otherwise the vegetation on the island would not be so intact and dense. In contrast, the vegetation on pagan island in the south is like the hair of alopecia areata + balding people. It is sparse and one piece at a time, which is not much better than that eaten by dogs.
When flying to the island, Yang Jing even vaguely saw several houses in the dense jungle near the southernmost coastline of the island. Obviously, these houses were built by the residents who moved back to live.
The plane quickly passed the island of agrihan and continued to fly north for about 100 kilometers. After that, a volcanic island appeared in everyone's sight again.
As can be seen from the map, this island is Asuncion island.
Like agrihan Island, the island was raised from the seabed by a volcano. The whole island is a huge crater. But this island is much smaller than agrihan.
From the data, Asunci ó n island is 3.3 kilometers long from north to South and 3 kilometers wide from east to west, which is almost a circle. The volcano on the island is 857 meters high, only about 100 meters shorter than the volcano on agrihan Island, and the volcano does not have a very deep and large crater.
When the plane climbed above the volcano, it could clearly see the whole picture of the island. The eastern half of the island is steep, while the western half is relatively flat, and the vegetation on the volcano is also very lush. After all, although the volcano is also an active volcano, the last eruption was in 1906, more than 110 years ago.
Enjoy this series of volcanoes and volcanic islands from the plane, which makes the slightly boring voyage less boring. After flying over Asunci ó n Island, you can clearly see the maog islands, a destination about 37 kilometers northwest at an altitude of nearly one kilometer.
The plane slightly adjusted its direction, then lowered its altitude and accelerated towards its destination.
