Xianzhou Fanghu Travel Tips
The Xianzhou Fanghu used to be the most famous tourist attraction of the Xianzhou Alliance. Unfortunately, the place could no longer accommodate vast numbers of tourists in recent years and even stopped issuing new travel passes briefly due to the damage inflicted by the third Abundance War. Now that the new travel policy is in place, we can visit the beautiful waters of the Miniature Myriads again.
According to the regional policy, a Xianzhou Alliance Travel Pass and a Fanghu Travel Pass, which has to be applied two to three months in advance, are required to travel in the Fanghu. The same rules apply to Xianzhou citizens. Those whose residency papers are under the jurisdiction of the Xianzhou Alliance are required to provide the certificate of conduct issued by the Realm-Keeping Commission of their domicile to the Sky-Faring Commission of the Fanghu. Travelers from other worlds are required to provide the certificate of conduct issued by their place of residence and the certificate of no criminal record issued by the IPC.
The procedure is slightly complicated, but the travel pass issued by the Fanghu's Sky-Faring Commission is valid for 20 years, so you do not have to repeatedly go through the process.
Please note that the Fanghu is an autonomous dominion of the Vidyadhara, thus it has different customs, culture, and social structures from other Xianzhou ships. Please purchase a copy of the Fanghu Lifestyle Guide from the Star-Picking Tours before departure to avoid unintended mistakes.
Xianzhou Fanghu Must-see Attractions
[Claretgleam Bay]
The Claretgleam Bay in the Sanze Delve is the first stop for most travelers who visit the Fanghu. Many are immediately impressed by the water that flows peacefully on top of the dome of the delve the moment they disembark from their starskiffs. Many might have already witnessed this scene through an immersia or hologram before their arrival but let there be no doubt — nothing beats seeing it with your very own eyes.
Look up and admire the sea! You will see the Shangguan Sea Snakes gliding past with their massive bodies, the Lantern Fish sparkling like fireflies when they huddle together, and the Srimanth Conches hunting for schools of fish like nimble missiles... The Claretgleam Bay is arguably the only place in the Cosmos that can offer you such a mind-blowing experience.
[Reignbow's Road Museum]
The Reignbow's Road Museum is located in the East Sea Delve. Its name in full is "Third Abundance War Reignbow's Road Museum." As the entire East Sea Delve was razed to the ground during the war, the museum was built upon the ruins.
In Reignbow's Road Museum, you will get to watch a holographic History of Reignbow's Road formed using the Vidyadhara's cloudhymn magic. During this immersive experience, you will witness how the catastrophe took place and learn how the Abundance Axis launched an aggressive attack against the Fanghu, and how the Pearlkeepers put up a tenacious defense, but to no avail as the Abundance Axis managed to invade the delve in the end. To prevent further destruction, the Reignbow Arbiter appeared to wipe out the fleet of the Abundance Axis with divine arrows and annihilated many corrupted delves. Among them, East Sea Delve was the only one that was simply "reduced to ruins."
The most stunning exhibition hall in the museum is none other than the Palace of Mortal World, where the Fanghu and IPC have built a replica of Moundfish Avenue, the busiest area in East Sea Delve before the war. The daily lives of the 39,823 residents is manifested in the form of Mirage Echoes showing their comings and goings prior to the disaster. If you chat with them, you will realize that they are ordinary people just like you who probably also never expected they would perish during the war.
Reignbow's Road Museum offers free entry to travelers as the citizens of Fanghu want to show more people the purpose behind the Xianzhou Alliance's endeavors.
[Wild Shore]
The Wild Shore is the most renowned beach in the Fanghu. Despite the complicated travel pass application procedure, the attraction still welcomes almost 70 million travelers every year.
The biggest appeal of the Wild Shore is that it is both a hot spring and a beach. The water there is rich in microbes beneficial for the health of one's skin, and the shore is blessed with a magnificent stretch of white sand and beautiful natural scenery. However, its extreme popularity is its most significant drawback, so much so that you will only get to admire the beach during the off-season, when the sands are not literally covered with the bodies of tourists.
