Section 1007 Small islands

The Great Barrier Reef, the largest and longest coral reef group in the world, is located in the southern hemisphere, it runs through the northeast coast of Australia, from the Torres Strait in the north to the south of the Tropic of Capricorn, stretching for a total of 2,011 kilometers and 161 kilometers at its widest point. There are 2,900 large and small coral reef islands, and the natural landscape is very special.

It is one of the seven natural landscapes of the world and the most proud of Australians. It is also known as the "Wild Kingdom of the Transparent and Clear Sea".

Nicknamed 'reef', most of the islands in the Great Barrier Reef are submerged at high tide and become coral reefs beneath the surface. However, this is not the case for all islands, and there are more than 630 islands in this body of water that will not be submerged at high tide.

These islands are not coral reef islands, but the summit of an undersea seamount. This is true for Danke Island, Magnet Island, Lindeman Island, Hamilton Island, etc.

Due to the large number of tourists, these islands have been basically developed by the Australian government and have become tourist destinations. However, even if there are many developed islands, the more than 630 islands will not be full of tourists, and it is not too difficult to find an 'uninhabited island' among these islands.

Choosing an 'uninhabited island' among the 630 islands was handed over to SBS to contact, and Li Jingyuan did not handle it directly. On the one hand, because he didn't have the energy to look at all the islands one by one, and on the other hand, because it was more appropriate for SBS to come forward.

Named one of the world's seven natural landscapes, the Great Barrier Reef is sure to be heavily protected. There are a lot of rules on the Australian side. Various restrictions will be imposed to protect the ecology of the Great Barrier Reef.

In other words, uninhabited islands definitely exist, but whether they will be allowed to go up is a question. And to get permission to go to the island. You have to deal with the Australian authorities.

Instead of letting Lee Kyung-won come forward to file a private application, it is better to let SBS come forward and make an official application. This will make it easier to get permission.

In fact, after SBS came forward, it was indeed very quick to get a reply. The Australian side agreed to the application, but in offering a choice, it made a number of different requirements.

Nothing else. It's just the word 'money'. Opening up the island, this is an exception, of course, there is a price. And. In order to prevent the filming team from causing too much damage to the environment on the island, it is necessary to pay a 'deposit' in addition to the 'ticket'.

The natural conditions on the islands are different, so the amount of the 'deposit' is also different. Starting with a few thousand dollars, the most expensive ones even reach an exaggerated figure of 100,000 dollars.

Because this time, the shooting was paid for by Li Jingyuan. And SBS also thinks that $100,000 is not a small amount. So when it came time to make a decision, they had to find Li Jingyuan again and give him an explanation of the situation.

100,000 US dollars is nothing to Li Jingyuan, but after consideration, he did not choose the island with the highest 'price'.

It's not that I'm reluctant to pay for it, but I don't think it's necessary. The reason is simple. The higher the deposit, the more 'sophisticated' the island. Instead of going to that kind of island, it is better to pick a smaller island that is more 'leaturous'. When the time comes, when the camp is set up with local materials, there can also be fewer restrictions and obstacles.

After careful selection, Lee Kyung-won and SBS chose a small island not far from Lindeman Island as the final challenge location. The deposit here is about 10,000 US dollars, which belongs to the kind of small island that is more 'leaturous', even if you cut down a few trees on the island, it will not have much impact.

After making the choice, SBS continued to prepare, and Li Jingyuan relayed the location of the good choice to the girls.

Because the chosen island has no name, Li Jingyuan always brings the name 'Lindeman Island' when making introductions.

The girls only heard about 'Lindeman Island', and then searched for it on the Internet, which made them even more excited.

Lindeman Island is the central island of the Whitsundays, and there are two places that can be ranked among the 'Top 10 Places in the World to Propose Marriages', and they are also tied for the first place: Guchang Peak on Lindeman Island and Hadi Reef in the Whitsunday Islands (the famous Heart Reef is here).

Then, there is White Paradise Beach Hill Bay, which is the fourth place in Australia's 100 most beautiful scenery, White Paradise Beach is the most beautiful beach in Australia, and it is also one of the "ten most beautiful beaches in the world", and it has also been rated as "the most environmentally friendly and clean beach in the world".

In addition to the beautiful natural landscape, Lindemann Island also has a small resort center. Of course, it doesn't matter whether the conditions of the resort are good or not, what the girls value is the fact that there is a resort on the island. In the eyes of the girls, going to such a small island is impossible for anything other than a vacation.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

After a few more days, the girls of Girls' Generation finally waited for the day of departure in anticipation.

"OPPA, hurry up~!" Without Xu Xian shouting, the girls took the initiative to get up one by one, even earlier than Li Jingyuan.

"Hmm~." was woken up by a chaotic voice, Li Jingyuan felt a little depressed, opened his eyes and looked out the window, and found that it was still dark, and he was even more angry: "Ah~, you guys~!" It's still dark this day, why did you come here early~! ”

Li Jingyuan's little complaint didn't scare the girls at all, they have lived together for so long, and they have long known Li Jingyuan's 'paper tiger' nature.

Yun'er took the lead, Xiaoyang and Xiaoyuan followed, and the three girls jumped directly onto Li Jingyuan's bed and jumped away like ignorant children. The mattress was trampled on by these girls, and it was impossible for Li Jingyuan to lie down at all.

"Ahh It's angry and funny. Li Jingyuan couldn't help but roar. Just then, the little sun jumped in front of him, and Li Jingyuan slapped this girl's buttocks.

"Smack~!" It's winter though. However, the indoor temperature is still maintained at about 20 degrees, so there is no need for the girls to wear thick winter clothes in the house. Xiao Sun was wearing a light sportswear, and after Li Jingyuan slapped it, he made a relatively crisp sound.

"Ah~! Oops~~~, ouch~! ”

Because of the pain, Xiao Sun subconsciously covered his buttocks. Just when she wanted to turn her head and shout a few words, another hilarious thing happened.

Li Jingyuan's slap produced a small thrust. If the little sun stands still. There would be nothing wrong, but she was jumping at this time, and her feet were naturally not very stable.

Thereupon. After being slapped by this slap, Xiao Sun unconsciously stumbled forward slightly.

This is not the end, when he was stumbling, Xiao Sun tripped over Li Jingyuan's quilt again.

As a result. This girl covered her ass with both hands. The embarrassing posture of face down directly fell down. hit Li Jingyuan's bed with her head and didn't say anything, and then when she covered her face and rolled over, this girl accidentally rolled to the ground again.

There was a carpet on the ground, and the little sun didn't hurt when he fell headlong, not even in pain. However, because it was too embarrassing, she still didn't get up, but covered her face and lay on the ground and pretended to be a 'dead man'.

"You're fine, are you?" The little sun didn't get up. It made Xiao T a little frightened. After all, the action she made just now was too abrupt, and Xiao T was still very worried that this girl would be injured.

I was asked by Little T. The little sun still didn't get up, but covered his face tighter again. Seeing her twitching back again, everyone reacted, this girl is now covering her face and smiling.

Little Sun himself thinks it's funny, let alone the girls. After letting go of their worries, everyone burst into laughter.

Li Jingyuan also laughed, and after laughing, his little sleepiness disappeared.

After getting up, washing up quickly, and having breakfast, Li Jingyuan left home with the girls who had already packed their luggage and set off directly towards the airport.

There are a few people waiting here at the airport, they are all VJs sent by the program team, and there is no Jin Bingwan among them.

In fact, this is also arranged a long time ago. Lee Kyung-won and the girls will set off first, and after a one-night stay on Lindeman Island, Kim Byung-wan and Deputy Patriarch Ricky Kim will come to join them.

The reason for this arrangement is that, on the one hand, Jin Bingwan's itinerary is not easy to adjust, and on the other hand, it is also to let the girls enjoy one night first. When they are done, they will be dragged to an uninhabited island, and the scene will be even more interesting.

"OPPA, what's going on?" Although there were not many people waiting at the airport, these VJs still aroused a little suspicion among the girls, and after greeting them, Taeyeon took advantage of a gap and asked Li Jingyuan very quietly.

"It's nothing, they'll follow along, shoot some footage as footage, and maybe use it when the time comes. You don't have to think about it so much, you can play as you want, just when they don't exist. ”

There are many flaws in Lee Kyung-won's words, but Taeyeon doesn't doubt it. On the one hand, it is because the number of VJs is really small, not like a program group, and on the other hand, it is also because they have long adapted to this situation, and similar situations often happen around them when they go abroad in the past.

After saying hello to the girls, Taeyeon quickly conveyed Lee Kyung-won's words to the others, and after a while, the girls returned to their usual appearance and didn't put too much energy into these VJs.

From Incheon Airport, we first flew to Brisbane, the capital of Queensland in northern Australia, and then transferred from Brisbane to Hamilton Island Airport on Lindeman Island, and finally took a seaplane from Hamilton Island to Lindeman Island.

The flight time is not too long, about seven or eight hours, but because there are two transfers in the middle, the girls' physical strength is still consumed a lot.

Originally, it was a little embarrassing, but when the seaplane reached Lindeman Island, the girls saw the scenery outside the cabin. And he regained his spirit again.

When viewed from the sky, the sea is not an endless blue. Not far below the surface of the water are coral reefs, dotted with these reefs. The surface of the sea is divided into patches, showing various shades of blue-green.

When the plane landed on the water, they could see the scenery below the surface more clearly, and at this time, in addition to the coral reef, the girls saw some colorful tropical fish swimming on the surface of the water, which made them even more excited.

"Wow~!! It's so beautiful~! "Stood on the pier pier. Blowing the warm sea breeze, and seeing the long white sandy beach not far away, Yun'er, who was the first to get out of the plane, couldn't help cheering.

The other girls are doing the same. They were all fascinated by the beautiful scenery in front of them, and they couldn't help but sigh.

"Kids, don't sigh yet, let's go and put our luggage down first. Eat something and talk about it. Wait a while to apply the sunscreen. You're going to have a good time. Li Jingyuan had never been here before, and he also felt that the scenery in front of him was very charming, but because of the delay on the road, he was too hungry at this time, so he had to say something that was a little disappointing.

was mentioned by Li Jingyuan like this, and the girls also felt hungry, especially Xiuying and Yun'er. They all subconsciously hugged their stomachs.

"Hurry up, OPPA, you really are. Why do you want to mention eating, when you say that, I feel hungry too. ”

"I haven't eaten properly for a day, no, I'm going to have a good meal, OPPA, there should be a lot of delicious seafood here, right?"

While chatting and walking, everyone came to the resort on the island after a while. At this time, there were already waiters waiting, and they directly guided everyone to the room.

After a while, after changing clothes, everyone came to the restaurant together.

As representatives, Yuna and Xiuying are in charge of ordering, while the other girls are focused on enjoying the scenery.

After looking at this for a while, someone noticed a little bit of anomaly.

"OPPA, why isn't there anyone here?" Jessica felt very strange, and couldn't help but ask Li Jingyuan, "Didn't you wrap up this island?" ”

It stands to reason that there should be a lot of tourists in such a beautiful place, but now it seems that not only are there not many customers in the restaurant, but even the most beautiful beach not far away is also not many tourists. After seeing this situation, Jessica couldn't help but think about it, and after thinking of Li Jingyuan's economic strength, she couldn't help but have a little misunderstanding.

"Wrap it up?? No, I don't. Li Jingyuan was stunned by Jessica's question, then turned his head to look around, and also found the fact that there were not many guests, so he also became curious.

I looked up and asked the waiter, but found that the waiter had already left with the menu.

It just so happened that there were no drinks on the table, so Li Jingyuan took advantage of this excuse and walked towards the bar. One is to get a drink, and the other is to find someone to ask why there are no guests here, so as to satisfy your curiosity.

Standing at the bar is just a waiter, but don't underestimate his identity, as an employee here, of course he will also know a lot of inside information. It's not difficult to ask, a dollar as a tip, Li Jingyuan quickly got the information he wanted to know.

Walking back with a drink, Li Jingyuan's mind turned away.

"OPPA, what's wrong with you?" Some girls have more unrestrained personalities, so they didn't notice any difference in the expression on Li Jingyuan's face, but Jessica couldn't ignore the change in Li Jingyuan's expression, and seeing that his expression was completely different from leaving, Jessica couldn't help but ask again.

"Xiuyan, what do you think I should do if I buy this island?"

"Huh?? OPPA, what do you say? Did I hear me right? It was a small voice just now, but now after listening to Li Jingyuan's words, Jessica's volume suddenly increased a lot. Obviously, she was frightened by Li Jingyuan's words.

It turned out that Li Jingyuan had just inquired from the waiter about a piece of news, that is, the resort on this island was about to run out.

If the resort can't be opened, the owner of the island will most likely sell the island. Li Jingyuan also heard the news from the waiter, although it was the waiter's personal speculation, but if you think about it carefully, this news is very likely to be true, after all, the waiter is an old employee here, and it is impossible to say some groundless news.

If it's not expensive, you can buy the island. Regardless of whether the resort is going to continue to open, the key is that the scenery here is so beautiful that even if it is a private resort, it is already worth it. (In fact, the price of the island is not high, and in 2012, China's White Horse Group bought the island for 12 million Australian dollars, equivalent to 9.7 million US dollars.) )

"Well, I do have some ideas." Looking at Jessica's surprised expression, Li Jingyuan showed a smile, and then continued: "Hehe, don't do this. In fact, the price of a small island is not too high, some small islands can be bought for only hundreds of thousands of dollars, and a slightly larger one is only tens of millions, which is not as expensive as my yacht. (To be continued.) )
