Li Xian didn't lie to me! The jelly sea of Semporna lives up to its reputation

Semporna is not a bustling place; it's a small island town. Therefore, after we arrived, we joined a group for a day trip at sea. The route was 'Mabul Island + Kapalai Island'. 📍Mabul Island There is a water bungalow resort on Mabul Island, which is great for taking photos. The resort is laid out in an 'L' shape. After landing on the island, first walk to the end of one side, then walk back to the restaurant on the other side to eat, saving steps; if you encounter Bajau children asking for money, please do not give it directly, you can buy their coconuts 🥥5 MYR each. 🎫50RM/person ⏰The boat departs from the pier every 45min. ⭐Dress in layers: Wear nice clothes for taking beautiful photos, and bring a set of swimwear. After lunch on the island, change in the resort's restroom, then take a short boat ride to a nearby island for snorkeling. 📍Kapalai Island This resort is only open to guests staying on the island, but the underwater scenery is beautiful, so you can snorkel directly without going on the island. ⭐Recommended to bring: 1) Sunscreen, sunglasses, rain gear 2) Water, snacks, a small amount of 💰 3) Camera equipment and waterproof bags for the equipment 4) If you get seasick or carsick, take 💊 after breakfast 5) Plastic bags/waterproof bags (to prevent items from getting wet) tip: No need to carry identification documents. If all goes well, you'll return to the pier around 16:00-16:30 in the afternoon, go back to the hotel to shower and change clothes, and check in at a seafood restaurant. 🛶Bajau The blue-skinned reef people in 'Avatar 2: The Way of Water' are modeled after the Bajau. They have no nationality and live their entire lives at sea. They are also known as 'sea gypsies' and are considered the last sea-nomadic tribe. Therefore, most of them can only live by the sea, making a living from fishing. The Bajau typically have many children in their families. As soon as they can row a boat, they start selling things to earn money, such as coconuts and seafood they catch themselves. When we went to the water bungalows on Mabul Island, there were many Bajau children paddling boats around to sell coconuts. They would say in Chinese: '5 yuan each, 5 yuan each'.
