The most popular place for tourists in Tahiti.

Society islands, among the five islands in French Polynesia, is undoubtedly the most "social"! This is the place where Tahiti people live the most and where tourists visit the most.

But why is there such a strange name? It turns out that this is a historical mistake!

1768, the Royal Society requested the Royal Navy to send a ship to Tahiti to observe the "transit of venus" that will occur the following year. Of course, this is just a cover. The real purpose is that the British government wants to find the "unknown southern continent".

Therefore, Captain Cook, the greatest navigator in the18th century, commanded his ship Endeavour to set out. 1769 In April, Captain Cook arrived in Tahiti and visited several nearby islands. Then, in the name of the Royal Society, this group of islands was named society islands.

Yes, it should be "learning island"! However, the translator of China place names probably didn't know the reason, thinking that society is society, and the Chinese name of society islands has been passed down to this day. ...

But! Deviation from translation does not detract from its reputation. It is the place where most Tahitians live and the place with the most tourists.

Society islands consists of 15 volcanic islands. It is divided into two administrative regions: windward islands and leeward islands.

Windward islands includes Tahiti, Moria and Tethys.
