The word "boracay" means "white cotton" in the local language, and it is said that the island was given the name because the white powdery sands on its beaches were like cotton.
Boracay has two main beaches - a four-km-long White Beach on the western coast of the island and the surfers' Bulabog Beach on the east. International travel magazine Travel and Leisure in 2012 named it the best island in the world.
Nestled in the center of the Yangtze River Delta, where three provinces Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui border with one another, is a bamboo forest called Nanshan Bamboo Sea, which is a national reserve. It occupies an area of 2,500 hectares.

Thomas Fuller, an English scholar and preacher who died in 1661, said, "All things are difficult before they are easy."
