Christmas Island is located in Southeast Asia, south of Indonesia and approximately 1,550 km north-west of Australia. This small island has an estimated population of 2,200 inhabitants (2016); the majority live on the northern tip of the island. Around two-thirds of the island’s population are Malaysian Chinese. Christmas Island is an Australian non-self-governing territory. The chief of state is Queen Elizabeth II, who is represented by the Australian governor-general. An administrator is the head of the government of Christmas Island.
The island is named for the day it was discovered, Christmas Day 1643. In 1888 it was settled by the British. At the end of the Second World War, it became part of the new British colony of Singapore and then, later, as a separate British colony. In 1958, it was transferred to Australian jurisdiction.
The island is home to diverse wildlife including a wide variety of snail, butterfly, moth, beetle, spider, scorpion and crab species. The red crabs on Christmas Island are especially important to the island’s unique rainforests as they help to maintain them. Christmas Island’s biodiversity is protected with a National Park which makes up nearly two-thirds of the island.
Due to its location, Christmas Island experiences a tropical climate with both rainy (December to April) and dry (April to December) seasons and an average yearly temperature of approximately 27ºC.

Christmas Island中的安全性
人身安全
聖誕島對遊客和商務旅客來說整體來說非常安全。島上犯罪率低，社區氛圍小而緊密，暴力犯罪罕見。大多數居民和遊客都表示，無論白天或夜晚，都感到十分安全。雖然偶爾會發生竊盜等輕微犯罪，但事件並不常見。澳洲聯邦警察為該島提供社區警務服務。該島地處偏遠，人口約1700人，為其安全的環境做出了貢獻。您在訪問期間不會遇到重大犯罪風險。主要的挑戰在於島上的地理位置偏遠，這意味著醫療設施有限，嚴重的健康問題可能需要緊急撤離。請確保您購買涵蓋緊急撤離至澳洲大陸的綜合旅遊保險。
極端暴力
聖誕島幾乎沒有極端暴力事件。無論您的出身或背景如何，人身攻擊、仇恨犯罪和暴力衝突都極為罕見。島上的暴力犯罪率極低。歷史上發生的暴動事件大多局限於島上的移民拘留中心，並未波及遊客或一般民眾。 2011年和2015年，拘留中心曾發生抗議和騷亂，但這些事件僅限於該地點，且僅涉及被拘留者和工作人員。遊客和社區居民不會受到此類事件的威脅。您可以在島上自由活動，無需擔心暴力犯罪。
政治動盪
聖誕島沒有影響遊客的政治動盪。該島是澳洲的外部領土，在澳洲法律的框架下治理穩定。雖然居民有時會對行政體系（包括聯邦政府官僚機構和由聯邦警察執行的西澳大利亞法律）感到不滿，但這並不會導致公共場所的抗議或騷亂。島上的拘留中心在過去幾年曾發生抗議和示威活動，但這些事件都控制在拘留中心內部，並未蔓延到社區或旅遊區。作為遊客，您在逗留期間不會遭遇政治示威、民間騷亂或任何形式的政治動盪。
應避免的區域
聖誕島沒有需要商務旅客避開的危險街區或區域。主要定居點飛魚灣 (Flying Fish Cove) 以及其他住宅區（包括蓬山 (Poon Saan)、德拉姆賽特 (Drumsite) 和銀城 (Silver City)）均安全。西北角 (North West Point) 的移民拘留中心是限制性設施，不對遊客開放。主要風險在於自然災害，而非危險區域。海崖和內陸懸崖可能陡峭險峻，因此請遠離懸崖邊緣，並避免冒險登上海岸線附近的岩石平台。探索雨林時，請遵循標記的步道和指定的遊客區域，因為很容易迷路。在海灘游泳時，尤其是在飛魚灣，應選擇平靜的天氣。有些海灘會出現強烈的激流、巨浪和回流。由於島嶼地處偏遠，在人跡罕至的地區迷路或受傷可能會延誤救援，因此在前往偏遠地區時，請務必告知他人您的計劃。
