Fiji's capital Suva, the garden city of the storm and panic

Suva is the capital and main port of Fiji, the peninsula is located in the corner of the southwest of Viti, pleasant scenery, the whole city is very green, full of trees, pleasant air, the streets on both sides of the tall coconut trees, bread Fruit trees, mango trees swaying, lawn like a blanket, four seasons flowers in full bloom, the whole city like a big garden.

The city of Suva is slow, friendly, old-fashioned colonial buildings and many beautiful ports, all worth visiting. The streets of the bus is very unique, red, yellow, green, colorful, both rich and bright, if you can sit with the locals bus, is also a very special travel experience Oh.

Suva city center is home to many colonial buildings, including a square and many restaurants and shops. Through the harbor area, and then across a river, get off at the city center, the street is still full of people, happy from the side of the street to the other side. Said to eat a good meal, do not want to have more than 2 o'clock, turn to the Chinese fast food, Ye Hao, then to support the compatriots business. Do not want Chinese food is really welcomed by the locals, people coming and going, passenger flow constantly.

Out of the Suva pier is not far away, you can see a big shopping mall called Tapoo City, shopping malls door wearing a local indigenous costumes performers, when I came forward to take pictures with them, one with a granddaughter Of the local old man took the initiative to join us, so I feel the Fiji country and its people's hospitality.

The shopping malls are filled with a variety of Fiji souvenirs, which are made of coconut shells of small dolls, from the cruise down the Chinese tourists instantly crowded the mall, and perhaps they have never been since the opening Have you got so many customers?

Suva's street, let me suddenly think of New Zealand. Because Fiji is relatively close to New Zealand, where the banks, chain stores are almost exactly the same with New Zealand, Fijians and New Zealand Maori looks like, more than three years ago I had traveled in New Zealand for more than six months, now think about it Ah, all kinds of memories hit, actually feel that some of the streets of Suva is not real.

The day suna weather is very bad, dark clouds over the top, the air dampness muffled, thunderstorms will always accidentally sudden, people caught off guard, however, can not let the weather affect our travel mood ah, unpredictability is one of the fun of travel, We have to learn to get along with all kinds of unpredictability, rather than being controlled. We saw a central post office opposite Tapoo City and decided to go there and buy some local stamps and first day seals as souvenirs.

Suva's rain is too hasty, go too fast, find a place to hide a hide, the rain will soon stop. Suva's rain is really ferocious, like pouring down from heaven in general, for a time can not find the shelter of the pedestrians have been birds and animals scattered.

Modern shopping center Tappoo City has just been built, the appearance of this still in the colonial architectural style and colorful town size of the capital is definitely a modern logo, and the contents of the tropical island of their own fashion. Looked at a few local handicraft shops, if you have the strength to really want to back the Fiji people loaded "Yangkona" wine wooden bowl home to do the basin.

Very fond of Fiji purple pearls, but processed into fine jewelry seems to be corrective, and expensive. Out of this "fashion" place, but also want to go to the market. From the department store to the local product and then to the vegetable market saw a times, where a great place, extending in all directions, but the limited variety of goods, many are from China or India, small commodities. The market is very localized, used to do "Yangkona" into a bundle of Kava roots abound, which shows the Fiji people to their country to drink the love; dozens of vegetable stalls more than half of the sale are self-produced Taro, cassava and sweet potatoes, which is also the staple food of Fiji, usually with fish to eat; fresh vegetables rarely, common is tomatoes, peppers, onions and a class, not so much vegetables, as it is spices; Too good to see banana, mango, lemon, coconut and pineapple code is neat.

To Fiji, there is a local specialty can not but try, that is because Obama is famous for the Fiji water, China's Starbucks actually have to sell, but in Fiji local drink seems taste a bit different, may be psychological effect, haha.

The Dayton Garden is one of the most famous tourist attractions in the capital Suva, and the garden has plenty of tropical plants, Fountain pool, those coins, a symbol of the beautiful wishes of the people of all countries. A kilometer from the pier, you can walk along the main road.

Fiji Museum is also in the Duston Garden, if you have the opportunity to play in Fiji, then the island and the town is the first choice, the capital Suva, but no good looking.

Fiji Museum in front of the sale of small jewelry local women, all kinds of handmade pictures can be brought back as a letter Oh, the price is not expensive.

Fiji Museum, the door will be able to see such a naked big bang. Museum area is very small, up to an hour will be able to visit, tickets each 10 Fijian coins, about 30 yuan, not too expensive

The museum not only shows Fiji's history as a British colony with various cultural relics, and even records of the history of the piranha.

Fiji's history is not long, the richness of its museum with the Chinese museum is far from comparable, but as a general understanding of the country's situation is still quite good.

Night came gradually, the city was shrouded in the quiet dark blue. Because our cruise ship tomorrow morning at 6 am to set sail, but also the cruise travel trip only once stopped at the port overnight, so we did not worry back, ready to enjoy the city's nightlife. However, the shops on the Suva street closed the door early, no nightlife,

This is the life of ordinary Fijians, and if you want to truly appreciate the charm of Suva, you must have a hiking in the city, in this coastal city has a vibrant beachfront, busy busy traditional market in Suva , The various temples and mosques of different styles, giving you a comprehensive view of the cultural center of the South Pacific people's way of life.
