Madagascar has two airlines with 36 large and small aircrafts, with regular flights to Europe, Africa and the islands in the southwest Indian Ocean. Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar, has regular flights to Paris, France and Milan, Italy, Mauritius, South Africa and Kenya in Africa, and Bangkok, Thailand in Asia. Madagascar has not yet opened direct flights with China, but you can choose to come to Madagascar via the Hong Kong-Mauritius or Thailand routes.
The main means of transportation in the city is rickshaws called "pousse-pousse" (similar to our rickshaws, but smaller in size). It is very charming to take a rickshaw ride in such a small and warm city, wandering among the French attics and steeple churches.

Precautions:
1. The clothing required in Madagascar all year round is mainly summer clothing, but when traveling in the dry season, jackets, windbreakers and sweaters are also necessary because of the large temperature difference between morning and evening, especially in the capital Antananarivo. The coldest time of the year is in July and August, with the lowest temperature at night being only 11 or 12 degrees.
2. Madagascar's sanitary conditions are backward, and some common diseases in Africa, such as amoebic dysentery and malaria, can endanger people's health at any time. Tourists should bring some necessary medicines with them before traveling to Madagascar.
3. Madagascar's public security is relatively good, with relatively few cases of open robbery or assault, but there are many thefts, so tourists should pay attention to their own safety.
