Focus on Vanuatu immigration and Vanuatu living: Vanuatu is located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. It belongs to the Melanesian archipelago, consisting of about 80 islands (68 of which are inhabited). The largest island is Santo, with an area of 3,947 square kilometers.
Nature has generously bestowed Vanuatu with not only fertile land but also diverse tourism resources. Each of Vanuatu's 80 islands has its own unique characteristics. In particular, the Yasur volcano on Tanna Island is known as the "most accessible volcano in the world," where visitors can stand on the edge of the crater and watch the volcano spewing smoke and fire below, as the lava here tends to shoot straight up and rarely splashes out of the crater. People often consider witnessing this "fireworks set off by God" a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
The white sands of the South Pacific shimmer like silver, with vast blue waves, offering various leisure activities such as tropical diving, volcano viewing, golf, yachting, windsurfing, and beach sports, allowing you to completely relax and enjoy peace... Meanwhile, the tropical cuisine, seafood, French cuisine, and Chinese food, especially the coconut crab, are definitely worth trying. They will provide you with an ultimate taste experience.
You must visit the world's only underwater post office, located in a natural marine park, situated 3 meters below sea level at the Vanuatu Post Office Palace underwater post office. It looks like a giant soda can on the seabed, 35 meters from the beach of Port Vila. More than 50,000 tourists come here to dive each year, and you can send waterproof postcards here, with the staff stamping your postcards. Instead of using traditional ink to cancel stamps, they use a special embossed date stamp that leaves a unique raised pattern, indicating that the postcard has been sent. While mailing your postcard, you can also enjoy the most enchanting underwater flora and fauna in the world.
The capital of Santo Island, Port Havannah, is a world-renowned diving destination. In 1942, a luxury cruise ship converted into a troop transport vessel, carrying 5,500 American soldiers, struck one of its own naval mines while entering the port and soon sank on the nearby coral reef. This cruise ship is only about 100 meters from the shore, with the bow and stern submerged at depths of 20 to 70 meters, making it a paradise for diving enthusiasts and adventure seekers. Nearby, there is also a million-dollar bay, which is a great diving spot.
At the end of World War II, the U.S. military did not want to take heavy equipment back and dumped all the equipment into the sea. When you wear a diving mask and float on the surface looking down, you can still vaguely discern the outlines of bulldozers, tractors, tracks, cranes, and cannons, although they are covered in seaweed and coral. There is also a large fish, about ten meters long and weighing over ten tons, that for some reason plays with divers for nine months of the year.
Exciting bungee jumping also originates from Vanuatu. On Pentecost Island, there is an annual bungee festival: villagers build a tower 30 to 40 meters high using vines to tie wooden poles to a large banyan tree. Warriors stand at the top of the tower, tying vines to their feet, and jump from the height, touching the ground with their hair while remaining unharmed, which is considered a remarkable skill.
