- Sun protection is indispensible in Green Island where the sun is always passionately bright. Be sure to bring along a light jacket, hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen.
- You can wear shorts and regular clothes for snorkeling. But to enjoy Zhaori Hot Spring, visitors must dress in swimsuits and swim caps. Small towels are offered at most hotels in Green Island. You can also bring big towels of your own. Of course, if you want to enjoy the fun water activities, don't forget to bring flip flops.
