Capital of the Maldives

June 24: Cloudy with occasional showers. Today will end the vacation of 2 nights in the sand house and 2 nights in the water house on Twin Fish Island. The flight back to Shanghai is at 19:30, and the hotel front desk originally arranged for us to leave the island at 4 pm. I negotiated with the housekeeper, we both wanted to go to the capital Male to stroll around, hoping to leave the island at 10 am, and there is a speedboat every 2 hours. (Because we had lunch on the island on the day we arrived on the island, so if you want to have lunch today, you need to pay for it yourself). After breakfast, go to the front desk to go through the procedures, and the waiter prints out the bill for me to confirm (the consumption on the island is reported by the room number, and the settlement is when leaving the island). 10 o'clock boarded the speedboat, arrived at the airport yacht pier before 11 o'clock. Check in luggage at the airport with a passport, 7 US dollars/piece. Then go back to the pier, buy a ferry ticket to the capital Male, 1 US dollar/person. It takes about 15 minutes to get to Male by ferry (not Hulhule, but the capital Male). △Arrived in the capital of the Maldives before 11:30, Male has an area of only about 2 square kilometers, but has a population of nearly 300,000. Because of the strategy, I have some understanding of the main attractions of Male. After landing, I walked along the Binjiang Avenue and saw a building similar to the Sydney Opera House. △It is said that the fish market is a must-visit △Independence Square △The only park in the capital: Sultan Park is very beautiful and exquisite, very small, and it takes only a few minutes to go around. The young woman sitting in the circle is working locally and comes from Russia. △Presidential Palace: A century-old building, now a place for various national affairs activities, attracts tourists from all over the world to check in and commemorate with its unique style and history. △Government agencies △Narrow alley △Unknown mosque △Old Friday Mosque, you can see many tombstones. △Friday Mosque, with characteristics. △Blue Mosque, a very eye-catching building. △After walking around a big circle, stopping and stopping to watch and take pictures, it was already more than 3 pm. During the period, I walked into a small Western-style pastry shop and ate a cake to replenish energy. Unexpectedly, during the rest of the journey, the local guy heard that the two of us came from China and wanted to take a photo with my wife. △My wife is a bit tired, it's time to go back to the airport. Find the ferry pier to buy a ticket and get on the boat, ending the approximately 4-hour walk and random shooting in the capital of the Maldives.
