The mountain watch, which looks like a flat watch, is only 1067 meters, but it is chosen as the propaganda landmark of "the beauty of South Africa" by the municipal government because it is close to Cape Town. The establishment of Table Mountain Nature Reserve is more than half a century later than the earliest Kruger National Park in South Africa. But because it is close to the urban area, it can better represent the spirit between the South African people and nature.

From 1929, a cableway with a length of 1220 meters was officially put into use, and people can take the cable car to the top of Table Mountain. 1997 5438+00 In June, this ropeway was rebuilt and opened to tourists again. The new round cable car can provide passengers with a 360-degree view, and each car can take 65 people. The round-trip fares for adults and children of this cable car are 180 rand and 90 rand respectively (rand is South African monetary unit).

It takes more patience to climb the mountain by cable car, because no matter how long the line of tourists is, there are only two cable cars for passengers to get on and off. We will never increase the number of trains and will not consider buying two more cable cars. The mountain overlooks the busy work of the whole harbor and has a panoramic view of the sea. There are more than 2000 kinds of endangered native flowers, about 150 kinds of birds and small wild animals such as rock rabbits, baboons and civets in Table Mountain Nature Reserve.
