1. I believe that everyone has heard of the country of "Mauritius", the Republic of Mauritius is referred to as Mauritius, is an island-type country located in east Africa, plus all the islands, the land area of Mauritius is only more than 2,000 square kilometers, only one-third of the size of our city Zhengzhou.
According to the relevant surveys, the population of Mauritius is about 1.26 million, which is very high compared to many African countries.
2. Mauritius has many volcanoes, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a "volcanic island country", all surrounded by coral reefs, and the landform of Mauritius Island is also very peculiar, with plains and highlands, as well as a number of mountains and isolated peaks.
The capital city of Mauritius is Port Louis, which is not only the political, economic and cultural center of the country but also the largest city and the largest port of Mauritius, the population accounts for one-tenth of the country's population, port Louis annual throughput of more than three million tons, it can be said that half of the country's economy is supported by Port Louis.
3. Because mauritius has a low latitude, it belongs to the subtropical oceanic climate, the minimum temperature in the summer can reach 17 °, the temperature in January can reach up to 30 °, the rainy season in Mauritius is from January to March, because there are hills in the southeast to form a natural barrier, so every year from January to April is a windy and rainy season.
4. The population of Mauritius is complex, but most of them are of Indian descent, and the remaining population is composed of African and Chinese ethnicity, because a large number of slaves were sent to Mauritius during the French colonial period, and the intervention of the British also brought a large amount of labor from Asia.
The British sent a labor force mainly Indians including a small number of Chinese, plus some expatriates from other countries such as Arabs and Pakistanis, and the populations of these different countries slowly developed in Mauritius and bred a large number of mixed races, which led to the ethnic complexity of the population in Mauritius.
5. Although there is still a big gap between Mauritius and developed countries, the economic index of Mauritius in the overall backward African land can be regarded as a rich country, and as of 2018, the per capita GDP of Mauritius has reached more than 10,000 US dollars.
You might think that this is higher than many Chinese, but Mauritius is small in numbers, and a port Louis can help the people of Mauritius to meet that standard, and in fact many Mauritians live very poorly.
6. The existence of Port Louis makes the whole of Mauritius known as the "African Switzerland" by the African people, in the 2019 global city ranking, Port Louis ranked 150th in the world, in comparison, China's Henan provincial capital Zhengzhou ranked only more than 200, you can imagine how much a good geographical location helps a city.
Port Louis has eight of the largest terminals, and is equipped with the world's most complete port equipment, such as tower cranes, car cranes and container cranes and tugboats of various sizes, and almost 90% of the country's materials are transshipped around the world through Port Louis.
7. Mauritius divides the country into seven regions and five municipalities, although the geographical location and port have brought a large amount of economy to Mauritius, but the amount of resources in Mauritius is very scarce, almost every year Mauritius needs to import a large amount of oil and a variety of mineral materials to other countries.
Moreover, domestic freshwater resources are extremely scarce, and many deficiencies such as the scarcity of fishery resources in the nearby sea areas are also restricting the development of Mauritius, the only thing that is gratifying is that the economic zone of mauritius is very rich in resources, and it is rich in "noble of fish" tuna.
8. Although there are many resources that Mauritius does not have, there are also many creatures that only Mauritius has, such as the tall king palm tree that is only opened once in a hundred years, surrounded by the world's largest water lily, attracting many photographers in the world to take pictures, and some photographers have lived in Mauritius for decades in order to take pictures.
In addition, the Mauritian tea falcon and pink pigeon are rare animals in the world that are in great need of protection.
9. The Republic of Mauritius has a total of two universities, of which the earliest and most well-known is the University of Mauritius, which was founded in 1965 and originally established with only three majors, and this university was also accredited by our Ministry of Education in 1980.
With an annual enrollment of around 13,000 students and a system ranging from bachelor's to master's degree to doctorate, the public university attracts many students from all over the world every year and provides a large number of talents for various industries in Mauritius.
10. In addition to the port, Mauritius attracts a large number of tourists because of its pleasant climate and natural beauty, and its tourism industry has gradually become the second largest economic pillar industry in recent years, and for Chinese tourists, the Chinatown in Port Louis is very attractive to tourists.
The seaside village of Grant Bay has also become a popular punching spot for many tourists in recent years, where the beach and the sunny summer days and azure waters gradually form a wonderful picture, which is said to be transparent enough to see the colorful world under the sea.
11. Mauritius and the Maldives are very similar, both are island countries, both are countries with developed tourism, and most importantly neither country has formed its own regular force, but the only difference is that the Maldives has a permanent defence force of about a thousand people.
Mauritius also has an armed force of around 5,000 and a mobile force of 1,500 people similar to a special forces force.
12. It is commendable that Mauritius has its own "national bird", the dodo, a giant bird that can be up to fifty centimeters long and has a very similar appearance to a pigeon, but unlike many birds it is unable to fly and has a docile personality that feeds on fruits.
As of 2013, Mauritius is the only place in the world where dodo birds exist, so the ecological environment of Mauritius is undoubtedly a very good breeding and living place for many endangered organisms.
