Xisha Islands is a group of islands in the South China Sea, and it is our coastal defense outpost. This is a beautiful place with beautiful scenery and rich products.
The waters around Xisha Islands are colorful and magnificent: dark blue, light blue, green, light green and apricot yellow. Fragments, strips, intertwined. Because the seabed is uneven, there are cliffs and canyons, and the sea water is deep and shallow. Seen from the sea, the color is different.
There are all kinds of corals on the rocks at the bottom of the sea, some like blooming flowers and some like forked antlers. Sea cucumbers are everywhere, lazily crawling on the seabed. The dragon is dressed in armor and comes and goes freely. It looks terrible.
Fish swarmed through the coral. Some are all colored stripes; Some have a bunch of red tassels on their heads, which are very beautiful; Some are like fans inserted all over the body, waving when swimming; Some eyes are round, and their bodies are covered with thorns, which are round like a ball. There are countless kinds of fish. As people say, the sea of Xisha Islands is half water and half fish.
There are countless beautiful shells, large and small, with different colors and strange shapes on the beach. The most interesting thing is the tortoise. Every April and May, big turtles climb to the beach in droves to lay eggs. The fisherman turned the turtle over, and it landed on all fours and could not escape.
Xisha Islands is also a world of birds. The island is densely forested and inhabited by various seabirds. Eggs are everywhere. There is a thick layer of bird droppings under the tree, which is a valuable fertilizer.
The heroic children on the island guard the south gate of the motherland day and night. With the development of socialist construction, the lovely Xisha Islands will surely become more beautiful and rich.
