Cape Town, meet God's Table Mountain
Our first stop in South Africa is the first to take our first trip to the scenic Cape Town, famous for its beautiful natural landscapes and marinas, where the Indian and Atlantic Oceans meet. Cape Town is the most relaxing city in all of Africa, and its unique waterfront views combined with European and African culture make it a fascinating place to be.
Table Mountain is a landmark in Cape Town, and the mysterious summit of Table Mountain looks as flat as a tabletop from a distance and is affectionately known by locals as "God's Table". When standing at the top of Table Mountain, you can see the sparkling bay and overlook the entire Victoria Harbour, which is super visually stunning.
The weather on Table Mountain changes quickly, in just a few minutes the day may darken, a cloud will be swirling, a moment will be cloudy and foggy, although the weather changes quickly, but here still captured a lot of good scenery, the beautiful light of the sea, passers-by on the mountain, and the sky reflected on the surface of the water, all recorded.
If you want to put the whole Table Mountain into the picture, there are two commanding heights next to Table Mountain, one is Lion's Head Mountain and the other is Signal Mountain, both of which are free and can overlook Table Mountain in the distance.
Victoria Wharf Centre, enjoy shopping
Waterfront is a must visit to Cape Town, this port was first built in 1860 by Alfred, the second son of Empress Victoria, so it is also called Victoria Harbour. The full name of the port is Alfred & Vitoria Waterfront, which is the most prosperous port in Cape Town, with shopping malls, restaurants, bars and a variety of luxury goods.
Victoria Marina Shopping Centre is simple in design, large in scale but beautiful in its design. The architecture of the shopping mall is special, with an exposed steel frame structure that supports the building in an unobstructed view, and the halls, corridors and ceilings are made of glass.
On the side of the shopping mall is the old port area of Victoria Harbour, and many of the colonial buildings have been preserved, and strolling through the streets seems to have the illusion of walking in Europe. The scenery here is beautiful during the day, you can see the majestic Table Mountain as soon as you look up, and at night, the lights are bright, and the bars, restaurants and shopping malls are a different scene.
The design of the mall is simple but full of fashion, various structures are exposed but do not lose the sense of beauty, large area of glass structure and a large number of lighting design, so that the entire mall looks clean and bright.
Cape Eye, a romantic landmark in Cape Town
The Eye of Cape Town is a romantic landmark of Cape Town, where there is no need to worry about getting lost, as long as you look up, you can basically see the Ferris wheel, tall and eye-catching shape, especially conspicuous.
There are few particularly tall buildings in cape town as a whole, so riding the Ferris wheel is also a way to get a panoramic view of Cape Town. Cape Town's Ferris wheel and the previous ride is very different, relatively safe enclosed space generally carry two people, and after reaching a certain number of people, it slowly begins to rotate, the whole time is about ten minutes, you can see the scenery several times on it, there is no need to worry about missing.
In the square near the V&A pier, there are many sculptures on display, such as rhinoceros stitched together in multiple color blocks, statues of zodiac signs and statues of South African Nobel laureates.
Due to the sea, the V&A pier can often see many small seagulls, which are not afraid of life, especially when resting on the chairs, they are running around.
On the Ferris Wheel, you can see the famous Table Mountain and Robben Island, and if you take the Ferris Wheel at night, you can experience the beautiful night view of Cape Town, the city that never sleeps.
Ancestors Memorial Hall, feel the unique historical imprint
The Ancestors Memorial in Pretoria is also worth visiting, with a statue of a man armed with a musket standing in each corner of the base of the memorial, and a statue of a woman and a child on the front of the memorial, commemorating women who made great contributions to the Great Migration.
The Ancestors Memorial is the most important tourist attraction in Pretoria and the largest in South Africa, and the unique shape of the hilltop can be seen from a long distance. The exterior of the building looks like a tall and majestic castle, the façade is reddish-brown granite, and there are many red flowers around the building, which is very beautiful.
The Ancestors Memorial is a nature reserve in Pretoria, and when driving into the reserve, you can also encounter many wild animals such as oryx, zebra, impala, springbok and other wildlife.
Eat in South Africa, the taste buds of the tongue on a wonderful trip
There is always food and drink on the way to travel, and South Africa's cuisine is rich and diverse, with a variety of popular restaurants and local specialties.
A local food restaurant in Cape Town begins with a meal featuring burgers, fries and steaks, plus a perfect meal with iced Coke.
After tasting the local food, we can't wait to get ready to try the exotic Internet celebrity food, located on the sixth floor of the THE SILO HOTEL, granary cafe @silo hotel, is a local friend to promote the Internet celebrity restaurant, the environment and food products are very perfect.
The entire building has been designed by professional designers, and it is said that the location of the restaurant was still a granary, and the appetizers were still French bread, accompanied by special butter, and the taste was instantly enhanced. Springbok, cod is a common ingredient in South Africa, perennial growth in the wild springboy, the meat taste is more abundant, deep-sea cod in the action of water pressure is also more compact and tender.
The exquisite plating can be more visually attractive, and the restaurant's large area of floor-to-ceiling windows brings a lot of natural light to the interior, which can be said to be the icing on the cake for shooting food.
