Tahiti travel guide

French Polynesia

Scenic spot introduction:

Tahiti (Tahiti), a gem in the South Pacific, is known as the "closest place to paradise" because of its beautiful tropical scenery and colorful waters surrounding it. Tahiti is warm as spring all year round, rich in products, and profound in culture. There are black pearls known as the "Queen of Pearls and the Queen of Pearls", hula that can "open the door to the soul", and mouth-watering fruits. Seafood, if you can come here once, you will have no regrets in life. Tahitians call themselves "people of God". People who have no worries about food and clothing often stare at the sea and meditate in the distance, waiting for sunset and dawn. Their philosophy of life is to "take no rush", which is also the Tahitian way of life. When the sun comes with the wind from the Pacific Ocean, and when the color of the sea water changes from deep to clear, a peaceful and beautiful day begins again.
