People’s Liberation Army Daily (PLA Daily), the official newspaper of the People's Liberation Army, published an article featuring a “route map” for travelling to Xisha Islands in South China Sea on April 9, 2016. The PLA Daily also held lottery online and picked three winners to join their correspondents for a trip to the Islands on the same day.
The article introduced some basic information, transportation, and what to see, what to do as well as what to eat on each island. It detailed each island’s features and introduced what is best to do to enjoy the trip there.
The Xisha Islands can be reached by cruise “North Bay Star”, which can accommodate some 300 tourists and currently makes four to five trips to Xisha each month. An airport terminal has also been built on Xisha Islands and direct flights to Beijing and other cities are to be open, according to Xiao Jie, mayor of Xisha city.
