Uncle Z先森We signed up for a glass boat trip at a roadside stall. It cost 660 pesos per person. The view was good. Water and beer were provided on the boat. However, the boat would stop for photos during the trip. The tour guide would also have a special camera to help take photos, but this was a charge. If you want to download the photos taken by the tour guide, you need to pay a relatively expensive fee!Isla Mujeres

南美当地向导YolandaWe welcome tourists to Dolphin Beach. The iconic landmark here is the big "CANCUN" logo, which is also a good place for tourists to check in. This is the public beach in the hotel area. After all, many all-inclusive hotels have their own private beaches! Pay attention to sun protection in the azure Caribbean Sea, and parasols are provided. La Isla Shopping Village in Cancun is the largest shopping center and commercial street. It has local brands, various souvenirs, and international brand stores. It is located opposite Westin Lagunamar in the central area of the hotel area.
For more fun in Mexico, please consult me!Cancun

本杰明(II)
The Turtle Beach in Cancun is what we call Turtle Beach for short.
When typing the word "Turtle Beach" in Pinyin, "ghost talk" always pops up. Fortunately, people generally do not believe in ghosts and gods, and do not engage in stories such as the Decameron or One Thousand and One Nights.
In this era, people are busy clocking in and making money. How many people will sit on a small bench at the entrance of the alley and listen to stories patiently, or read books page by page at night?
Many people who travel to the beach are busy taking pictures, posing, and playing with their mobile phones. At most, they just take a quick look and walk hurriedly. This is the difference between traveling and a real vacation.
This is an era where both day and night are bright, dazzling, swaying and coquettish.
Of course, most of the time, we like swaying, and we like coquettishness more quietly.
There is nothing wrong with liking, and there is nothing that cannot be liked; being able to like proves that we are not completely numb, and proves that we are not restricted or self-limited.
A bright era is always better than a dark day and night.
After all, we still think we have choices. For example, we like the sea, the blue and green of the sea, and the gentle side of the sea that it shows us. Who really likes the violent and subversive sea?
Maybe there are. In mythology, there are indeed some people who lost themselves in the depths of the ocean in order to listen to the sad songs of the sirens and see the swaying charm of the mermaids.
Oh, there are also people who tie themselves to the mast of the sailboat and deafen their ears so that they can't resist the temptation.
Oh, I don't know if these people tie themselves up when they go out to sea because of seasickness.
If you are seasick and can't go to Women's Island, or you come to Turtle Beach in the afternoon and don't have time to go to Women's Island, then staying on Turtle Beach, calming down to look at the sea and the distance is also very kind and pleasing to the eye.
Turtle Beach, there should have been many turtles crawling slowly on the beach in the past; now there are many people moving slowly on the beach, or lying motionless... You can play in the water slowly and crawl slowly on Turtle Beach.
You can also sway slowly, walk slowly on your life path, and slowly appreciate the scenery and charm.Cancun

Uncle Z先森There is no sea after returning from Cancun. The blue sky and white cloud beach of Isla Mujeres is definitely a place you will not want to leave after coming here. Any photo you take will be a blockbuster. The beach is very delicate! The sea water is very clear! This is a tourist destination you will never regret coming to!Isla Mujeres

The street is full of shops and convenience stores, local restaurants, large supermarkets, banks and other services. Wear comfortable shoes and enjoy walking and sightseeing.Cancun
