Papua New Guinea, the full name of which is the independent state of Papua New Guinea, is currently the second largest country in the South Pacific region in terms of land area and population after Australia. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info settled in the highlands of New Guinea in 8000 BC. In 1511, the Portuguese discovered the island of New Guinea. In 1884, Britain and Germany divided the eastern half of the island of New Guinea and nearby islands. In 1906, British New Guinea was handed over to Odalia for administration and renamed the Austrian Papua Territory. Austrian occupation of the German part of World War I. On December 17, 1920, the League of Nations decided to entrust Austria with management; In World War II, New Guinea was once occupied by the Japanese army, and after the war, the United Nations entrusted Austria to continue to administer the German part, and in 1949, Austria merged the former British and German parts into one administrative unit, called "Papua New Guinea Territory". Internal self-government was introduced on 1 December 1973. It became independent on September 16, 1975 and became a member of the British Commonwealth.

PNG is located south of the equator, in the southwestern South Pacific Ocean, bordering the Indonesian province of Papua to the west; It faces Australia across the Torres Strait to the south; to the southeast and the Solomon Islands; To the east is Nauru, 3,000 kilometers away; To the north, 3,000 kilometers away, are Guam, Micronesia and the Marshall Islands. PNG is located in Europe, Asia and Australia, and is the intersection of the North and South Pacific Oceans, connecting the South Pacific region and Southeast Asian countries.

PNG has a land area of 462,840 square kilometers, a water area of 2.4 million square kilometers, and a coastline of 8,300 kilometers, including more than 600 islands such as Bougainville, New Britain, New Ireland and Manus, making it the second largest island country in the world after Iceland.

The country has a population of more than 5 million, with an annual growth rate of about 2.7%, with 14% of the urban population and more than 85% of the rural population. PNG is a typical mono-ethnic state, 98% of which are Melanesians, and the rest are Micronesians, Polynesians, whites and Chinese, of which there are about 5,000 Chinese. There are more than 800 languages in the region, among which Pijin is the most widely spoken, Pijin is prevalent in Papua in the south, and Motu is prevalent in northern New Guinea.

Known as the world's last untapped virgin land, PNG is rich in minerals, forestry and fisheries, but its citizens are poor, with an unemployment rate of 95% and 40% of the population still below the international poverty line (i.e. one dollar a day of living expenses).

PNG's inland mountains are rugged, land transportation is underdeveloped, and the inter-provincial and inter-city roads, which are already small, are in poor condition, with a length of 25,000 kilometers. There is no road connection between the capital, Port Moresby, and Lae, the largest industrial city. Lae is connected to major cities in the region such as Madan, Goroka and Monthagen by highland highways, which is an important channel for the circulation of goods and the travel of residents, which is of great significance for promoting economic development. In the mountainous areas of Gaobe, there are many indigenous tribes, which are basically isolated from the world without roads.

PNG does not have rail transport facilities connecting cities, and major cities rely on airplanes to travel between them. Many remote areas rely on small helicopters or on foot to get around. Because it faces the sea on three sides, PNG has a very developed maritime transportation system, and the total length of coastline including the main islands is 17,100 kilometers, so it has unique conditions for water transportation.

All in all, PNG is a closed and impoverished country, where the most primitive indigenous culture is maintained, isolated, and it is inconceivable that PNG still retains such a closed state under the wave of modern integration and global village.

The most outrageous thing is that the country does not have frequent international exchanges, and the flight from Xiangjiang to Moresby, the capital of Papua New Guinea, is only one flight a week, fixed on Tuesday night, and paid a ticket price of up to 1250 US dollars, Zhang Yifeng got on a second-hand Boeing 767 passenger plane of PNG Airlines and began a long journey to a foreign country.

Frightened all the way, at five o'clock in the afternoon, the passenger plane landed at the international airport in Port Moresby, the visa on arrival, how to check it basically, let it go directly, and step out of the airport exit, Zhang Yifeng couldn't help but take a long breath, Nima, this is simply a crime.

The destination of Zhang Yifeng's trip is the second largest city in PNG, located in Lae in Morobe Province, which is the industrial heart of PNG and the main port of PNG. Unfortunately, it was too late and the flight to Lae was gone.

The absolute monopoly of PNG Airlines is so capricious.

Fortunately, near the airport, there are hotels and hostels with good conditions for travelers to stay, Zhang Yifeng chose AirwaysHotel to stay, but the cost of one night is more than 800 kina, equivalent to more than 2,000 yuan, such a high level of consumption, once again refreshed Zhang Yifeng's understanding of this country.

AirwaysHotel has a good environment, interior decoration, unique local characteristics, painted wood carvings, very representative, and there are many local animals in PNG, such as cute koalas, etc., which are comparable to four-star hotels in China.

I heard that the social security in this country is very bad, and the crimes of robbery, theft and rape have occurred repeatedly.

Led by a brown-black skinned, curly-haired beauty, eh, let's call it a beauty, Zhang Yifeng came to his room, ate something casually, and fell asleep.

PNG is a country in the southern hemisphere, November is just the beginning of summer, with a high temperature of 32 degrees every day, even if there is air conditioning, Zhang Yifeng still feels uncomfortable with the heat, tossed for most of the night, and fell asleep in a daze in the second half of the night.

The next day, Zhang Yifeng hemorrhaged again and bought a ticket to Lae with 365 kina, which is still a discounted price, monopoly aviation is so capricious, no matter how high the price is, you have to buy it.

After more than 30 minutes, Zhang Yifeng's Canadian Fokker 100 small plane landed at Nade Zabo Airport, which is more than 30 miles away from Lae.

With a dog with you, you will be safe when you travel.

This is PNG! Walking in this country, don't be surprised if anything happens, because it's normal here.

The price of recruiting the 'Guardian Dog' was very cheap, but Zhang Yifeng didn't do it, his fourth-level evolutionary still needs someone to protect him in the real world, which makes people laugh out of their big teeth.

PNG's official language is English, Zhang Yifeng University has not even passed English level 4, and communicating with people is wide-eyed, but his luck is very good, he met a Chinese compatriot, this guy is lean and thin, very enthusiastic, very talkative, and when he meets compatriots in other countries, the feeling is really indescribable.

"I said brother, why are you all installed with protective steel plates and protective nets in your cars?" Zhang Yifeng opened the car door and asked curiously.

The driver's brother sat in the cab and said with a smile: "You just came, I don't know the situation here, the security in Lae is very chaotic, and we can rest assured that we will install these." ”

"So horrible?"

Zhang Yifeng was taken aback.

"Maybe it's more terrifying than I said, you're here to travel, I suggest you go to Lae, find a hotel to stay in, and don't go out casually at night, it's very dangerous."

Zhang Yifeng looked up to the sky and sighed, what the hell, he was miserable by Mina this time.
