Here, contact between men and women is as natural as it comes, like being in the Garden of Eden.
Surrounded by the South Pacific, it's like the faraway, treasure-filled island we've heard about in stories.
Tahiti is the closest place to heaven. It's a space of pure imagination, where golden fantasies materialize with just a flash of light. It's a beautiful, untouched land where indigenous people live in quiet seclusion, men, women, and children, trees and flowers, everything so natural, harmonious, and beautiful.
Scattered across the vast expanse of the South Pacific are many beautiful islands. Like sparkling jewels, radiating charming light, this is the capital of French Polynesia – Tahiti, known as 'Heaven's Small Town for Men.' Here, contact between men and women is as natural as it comes, without mystery. It's like being in the Garden of Eden, with lush, green plains and trees laden with fruit, streams meandering through the landscape… The people here enjoy the most generous gifts from nature. It's full of warmth, rest, tranquility, joy, and happiness.
Perhaps God simply prefers quiet and seclusion, so he favors this place, far from the noise of the world, alone in a corner, as if to keep it away from the world. Every morning, as the colors of the sea gradually shift from dark to clear and bright, the sun lazily spreads its light across the entire island. From the Pacific winds, the big blue Tahiti blows, gently brushing the eyes, the sunny weather reveals its unique brilliance.
Various different skin colors. People with different languages. All lazily basking in the sun of a foreign land, enjoying a day of at the same time, experiencing the pleasure of a soul's great release. Many foreign tourists have lingered on this paradise-like island for years, wandering aimlessly and looking at each other with dreamy expressions.
This sunset, this light, is the best experience of the entire trip, and I always think of it whenever I see this frame of scenery.
At night, the stars are even more beautiful than those at Mount Fuji. Lying on the small beach of the inn, surrounded by countless stars, I regret that my camera is not good enough, I don't dare to go back to the room to sleep, who knows how many times I can have such an experience of watching the Milky Way.
Without a proper itinerary, we went for a full-day boat trip recommended by the innkeeper,
After the boat trip, we were arranged to go for snorkeling at three locations, observing small sharks, devilfish, and clownfish swimming in the sea up close.
The colors of the sea are very rich, with different shades of blue in the distance and near, it's amazing.
A writer described Tahiti's charm as a kind of melancholy – the island's geographic location surrounded by the South Pacific determines that it is warm and sunny all year round, with abundant resources. The residents don't need to wear much clothing, they can easily collect food, and often spend their days idly under coconut trees, gazing at the distance and contemplating. Gauguin captured this atmosphere in his paintings, as if he was grateful to Tahiti. 'Tahiti Girls,' depicts the scene of two local girls sitting opposite each other, with a small, colorless flower pinned in her hair, quietly emitting a heady fragrance.
Today, the two Tahitian girls are collected in European art museums. Some people joked that the gloomy weather in Europe must be trying to borrow some sunshine.
It seems that someone told the residents of Tahiti that their home is as similar to heaven as possible. It seems that it took several generations to live in such a place, it's no wonder that the people here are willing to thank God wholeheartedly. If there is a perfect unity between heaven and earth, that place must be Tahiti.
