Great Barrier Reef Travel Guide

Scenic spot introduction:

The Great Barrier Reef is the largest and longest coral reef group in the world and one of the seven natural wonders in the world. This coral reef group is located in the southern hemisphere, along the coast of Queensland, extending southward from the mainland town of Port Douglas to Bundaberg, with a length of more than 2,000 kilometers and a maximum width of 161 kilometers. There are 2,900 large and small coral reef islands, composed of billions of tiny coral polyps. They are Australia's national treasures.
The Great Barrier Reef is home to a huge coral kingdom and thousands of marine life, as well as deep undersea cliffs, undersea tunnels and caves. There is an extremely convenient sea route between the reefs and the coast. When the sea is calm, cruise ships pass here, and the continuous colorful and multi-shaped coral scenery under the ship has become the best underwater wonder to attract tourists from all over the world. Whether you're taking a helicopter to get a bird's-eye view of the coral colonies or diving deep into the ocean floor, nature's incredible craftsmanship will definitely make your trip worthwhile.
It is worth pondering that in the past 30 years, the Great Barrier Reef has lost nearly 50% of its corals and is declining at an increasing rate. While actively responding to this reality, it also reminds people to pay attention to the crisis of global warming and reminds people that they must pay attention to the fate of the ocean world.
