What travelers say:

Ghost doll island needs to take a boat trip about 4 hours, deep into Ghost doll island, you can boat and visit the island, what is the story behind the mottled dolls? It will all satisfy your curiosity! (Some fake doll islands, also ask tourists to pay attention to identify, those are not able to land on the island) [The origin of the doll island] Mexico doll island has always had a mysterious and strange charm, around the island and the nearby canals, there are many ancient legends and stories. One day in 1951, Julian, a Mexican gardener, heard a little girl drowning in a nearby canal. He immediately dared to rescue but still couldn't save the girl's life. Julian would dream of the girl's ghost every night, and hear her screams and rapid footsteps. He thought the girl's soul was not rested, and he was in pain. Until one day Julian caught an old puppet while fishing in the canal, which he thought was the intention of the mansion, and began to collect the old dolls around to keep the girl's ghost away. He hung the old dolls from the canal on the island tree, and afterward, curious people hung their old dolls out and became the current ghost doll island. But even so, it has attracted many local residents to visit, and it is now a popular tourist attraction. If you like adventure, it is a good choice!
