积分游世界系列:跳跃在亚太群岛之间-密克罗尼西亚联邦, 这到底是哪?

上一篇:大陆航空CO172 关岛(GUM)-波纳佩( PNI), 商务舱,传说中的跳岛航班

密克罗尼西亚联邦, 很多人一听到这个名字,马上会问:“这到底是哪里?” 6年前,我本来已经订好了经过首尔和关岛转机去这个国家4个洲之一的雅普岛(YAP)潜水的机票,但是在首尔机场的时候,我被大韩的地勤给拒绝换登机牌了,原因是:“在关岛转机需要美国的转机签证或旅游签证,而我持有的学生签证不符合规定.” 当时我实在懒得争辩,外加已经在韩国玩了2个星期了,回国呆着挺好,就这样和密克罗尼西亚联邦擦肩而过了。

密克罗尼西亚联邦是由600多个小岛组成,分成4个洲,雅普洲(YAP),楚克洲(Truk), 波纳佩州(Pohnpei)和科塞洲(Kosrae),位于太平洋帕劳和夏威夷之间,跨度长达2800多公里。州名是按照4个最大岛而命名的,但由于4个洲过于分散,所以几乎是各自为政。4大洲之间的唯一交通是大陆航空每天1的一个航班(去YAP岛还不是每天,且要从关岛转机)。

Map of the Caroline Islands in the Pacific Ocean, showing various atolls and islands. Key locations include Yap, Chuuk, Pohnpei, and Kosrae. The map also highlights Guam to the north and the Marshall Islands to the east. The map is labeled with latitude and longitude lines, and a scale indicating 500 km. The names of the islands and atolls are written in both English and Polish.

虽然这些群岛几乎与世隔绝,但是早在几千年前就已经有了居民,波纳佩州上的古迹南马都尔古城(NAN Madol)就是统治着该岛屿一直到16世纪的桑德洛尔(Saudeleur)王朝首都。遗迹是由巨型的石头建筑群组成,但是这些石头是如何运到这里的,迄今是个迷,因为在岛上并没有发现相同材质的石头。就连21世纪的今天,也只能退潮的时候过去。

The image shows an ancient stone structure partially submerged in clear water. The structure is made of stacked stones and appears to be in a state of ruin. Surrounding the structure are lush green trees, including a prominent palm tree on the right side. The sky above is clear with a few clouds, indicating a sunny day. The water in the foreground is calm and reflects the surrounding greenery and stone structure.

The image shows a shallow, clear body of water with a rocky shoreline. The water is reflecting sunlight, creating a sparkling effect. There are various rocks and stones along the edge of the water, some of which are partially submerged. In the background, there is dense green foliage, including trees and bushes, providing a natural and serene setting.

The image shows a rocky terrain with scattered pieces of coral and small rocks. Among the rocks and coral, there are several young green plants with broad leaves sprouting from the ground. The plants appear to be growing in a natural, rugged environment.

A black and white image of a tropical scene featuring a stone structure partially covered by lush vegetation. Palm trees are prominently visible, with their fronds extending over the stone structure. The structure appears to be ancient or in ruins, with stones stacked in a somewhat irregular pattern. In the foreground, there is a body of water reflecting the trees and structure, adding to the serene and natural atmosphere of the scene.

The image shows a black and white photograph of an ancient stone ruin. The scene is framed by two crumbling stone walls on either side, with a pathway leading through the middle. The pathway is littered with fallen stones and debris. In the background, there are lush tropical trees, including palm trees, which are partially illuminated by sunlight filtering through the foliage above. The overall atmosphere is one of decay and overgrowth, suggesting a long-abandoned site being reclaimed by nature.

A black and white image shows an ancient stone wall on the left side, constructed from large, uneven rocks. The wall runs parallel to a narrow, grassy path that leads towards a body of water on the right. The water is calm, reflecting the surrounding trees and sky. In the background, there are more trees and vegetation, with a single palm tree standing out against the sky. The scene appears to be in a natural, possibly historical or archaeological setting.

The image shows a black and white photograph of an ancient stone structure, possibly a ruin, surrounded by lush vegetation. The structure is made of large, stacked stones and appears to be partially overgrown with plants. Tall palm trees are visible in the background, and there is a body of water in the foreground with some aquatic plants. The sky is partly cloudy.

The map shows various structures and areas labeled with names such as Pah, Powe, Peinkitel, Idehd, Dapahu, Darong, and Kariahn. The structures are depicted in orange, and the surrounding water is shown in blue. The map includes a scale bar indicating distances in meters.

后来密克罗尼西亚联邦变成了西班牙人的地盘,后又转手德国人,日本人。二战结束以后,连同帕劳,马里亚纳群岛,马绍尔群岛一起成为美国太平洋托管的岛屿一直到上世纪80年底初,后独体成为国家,但是连同帕劳,马绍尔群岛一样,和美国签订了协议,该国的公民可以随时随地的去美国工作,居住,且不需要任何签证和手续。但是实际上,这些在岛国上住习惯的世世代代是没有去大城市大国家生活的欲望的,虽然他们的人均收入并不高。国库的主要收入来源也就是各国渔船其海域上捕鱼的手续费

雅普岛(YAP)和楚克岛(Truk)是潜水爱好者的天堂,科塞岛就真的比较原生态了。而我们这次到访的就是其中的最大岛,也是联邦行政首都Palikir所在地-波纳佩岛。

The background includes a mountainous area on the left and a clear blue sky with scattered clouds. There are also some small islands and a distant structure, possibly a dock or buildings, visible on the right side near the horizon.

A scenic view of a coastal landscape at sunset. The image features a calm body of water reflecting the soft colors of the setting sun, with a silhouette of a mountainous coastline in the background. The foreground is filled with lush green trees, and the sky is painted with hues of yellow, orange, and pink, with a few scattered clouds. A branch with leaves is visible in the upper right corner of the image.

The image shows a welcome sign for the FSM (Federated States of Micronesia) capital, Palikir, located in Pohnpei State. The sign is mounted on a stone base and features a large arrow pointing to the right. The text on the sign reads "Welcome to the FSM Capital, Palikir, Pohnpei State." Below the main text, there is a section with the preamble of the FSM Constitution. The sign is situated in a lush, green area with trees and vegetation surrounding it. There are power lines visible in the background, and a road runs alongside the sign. Two people are sitting on the grass to the right of the sign. The sky is overcast with dark clouds.

  1. @Richard, 按照他们的理解,是可以转机,但是下一站要回美国本土。但是实际上,没有转不了的,只要航空公司不较真。我那些朋友从中国都转过,去什么palau之类的。另外美国过去直接飞的。

  2. 要是买票只买到MAJ的机票,或者到HNL,没有买到美国本土,紧紧借F1签证去小岛上旅游,是不是就不会让转?

  3. @richard, 到HNL就算你回美国了,去MAJ,只要航空公司不管,GUM也不会管。航空公司99.99%不会管。我就是倒霉,当了那个0.01%

  4. 你有什么诀窍找到这航线的舱位兑换吗?不过我家人没有积累SA里程,所以….

  5. 现在连密克罗尼西亚在哪里都得靠科普?初中地理不是学过么?
    天朝的快乐教育变成只快乐不教育了吧,坑爹啊

  6. 我刚从关岛回来,F1单独去guam岛真的会有问题,东京登机的时候没管我,最后我在关岛小黑屋待了2个多小时,按了10个手指的单独指纹,最后发了个临时B2签证给我,据说这玩意要花500多美金,这次没要,下不为例。
    对了,从gum去夏威夷或者美国大陆没问题,我是因为回程机票是到东京才这样的

  7. @ying, 每个人都是下不为例。哈哈哈。不过你其实给他们看你回美国的”机票就好了“另外,从来没有F1被”遣返“过
