What are the interesting places in South Africa?

My friend suggested going to South Africa.

I was a little resistant at first.

Like many people,

What I'm worried about here is some insecurity.

However, after I came, I found that South Africa is so beautiful. Cape Town has beautiful coastline, lovely streets and the best restaurants in the world ... Today, let's see what's interesting in Cape Town.

Share her travel experience, wearing skills and the most in-depth fashion items from a unique perspective.

Bo Kaap

The first thing I saw was the Malay district of Cape Town. The most special thing here is the colorful houses all over the street. The local Malays call this ancient community Bo Kaap.

This street is called Will Street. It is said that Malays living here were first sold to South Africa as slaves in the17th century. During apartheid, colored people were not allowed to put house numbers in their houses. However, in order to facilitate the postman to find his own residence, the locals came up with a way to distinguish different houses by color.

Later, after the abolition of apartheid, although there were house numbers here, colorful houses have been inherited. Many people say that God knocked over the palette here, which also made it a unique local landscape.

Megalithic penguin colony

Penguins are not only found in Antarctica. After seeing them in Tasmania before, I didn't expect to see lovely penguins in South Africa this time. The species here is African penguin, also known as spotted ring penguin. They are small and not afraid of people at all.

These chickens live in Simon's town, about 35 minutes' drive from Putton. This is also the way to the Cape of Good Hope. Remember to arrange the time. The scenery here is very good and the park is quite big. Little penguins are almost everywhere, on rocks, grass and beaches. Don't worry about not seeing them at all.

Go a little further and enter another park, and you will see a large number of penguins on the boulder beach. It is said that there are more than three thousand * *. Groups of penguins are enjoying the sunshine on the beach. It's so cute.

Cape of Good Hope

After leaving Bordes Beach, you will pass the beautiful and calm coastline, all the way south, and you will come to the Cape of Good Hope, where the Indian Ocean meets the Atlantic Ocean.

This is the southernmost tip of the African continent. Standing here, the Indian Ocean is on your left and the Atlantic Ocean is on your right, so the collision of ocean currents produces a lot of huge waves, which is also called storm angle.

The sea at the Cape of Good Hope is blue, with strong sea breeze and spectacular scenery. You can also climb the nearby hills and overlook the endless blue sea and blue sky.

However, it should be noted that the closing time here is 6 pm in spring and summer and 5 pm in autumn and winter, so if you arrive late, you can't get in. Hurry up so that you won't be rejected.

Chapman PK

This is the most beautiful road we have ever driven in South Africa. On the way back from the Cape of Good Hope, just in time for sunset, we drove along the seaside to Chapman Peak, with the sea on one side and the cliff on the other. It is a mountain road about 9 kilometers long with 1 14 bends. It is said to be one of the steepest cliffs.

However, on this mountain, which is recognized as one of the most beautiful cliffs in the world, we found a lookout and stopped. Fortunately, we caught up with the sea of clouds.

This winding road extends from Hout Bay to Noordhoek in Nordhoke. We accidentally drove over and saw the most beautiful sunset we had ever seen. I heard that even when there is no cloud, the scenery below is very shocking.

Bree steet

Speaking of what to visit, Bree Street is my favorite street, next to our Belmont hotel. You can describe it as petty bourgeoisie-it's really all shops with accents; It can also be said that chill-cafes and bars all over the street are full of people enjoying life during the day. ...

It can be seen that the locals are really sensitive to colors, and the bright colors are just right. There are also cacti that can be seen everywhere, and there is also a sense of Africa. Friends who can't go to Bo Kaap, it's good to come here and have a look.

We casually sat down in a small shop, chatted with friends and looked at the bustling crowds in the past. Are you too happy this afternoon?

Mala home

In addition, there is another store that I have to mention, Maison Mara. This is a local mother-daughter shop, but the taste is definitely not inferior to any other fashion city shop.

Because her daughter Kelly likes fashion, she went to Paris to study design. After returning to South Africa, she opened the shop. The design is simple and fresh. There are three floors, each with a different theme, and there is a romantic balcony on the top floor. Every detail here is up to her.

Of course, it also includes selection. You can buy Proenca Schuller, J·W· Anderson, Roy ... and many brands of perfumes and candles, such as CARRIERE FRERES and LOLA JAMES HARPER. Most importantly, you can get a tax refund.

taste wine

Before I came here, it was hard for me to imagine that in Cape Town, you could drive to the seaside and hike in the city center in an hour. However, what is even more chilling is that the surrounding wineries, large and small, definitely make you glad that you are here. Cape Town is close to the South Pacific Ocean, and the special climate environment formed by the ocean and mountains has created good conditions for brewing wine.

Constantinia

The first thing to say is Constantia, the oldest vineyard in Cape Town, and the closest winery to the city. It is said that Simon van der Stel, the first governor of Cape Town, began to grow grapes on a large scale in 1679, and only then did he brew today's Vin de Constance constance liqueur.

There are many famous wineries here, such as Grut, Steinberg and Klein. Almost any one is beautiful, so you might as well find a winery to enjoy the beautiful scenery and have an authentic lunch.

Delai de graaf Manor

Next, let's introduce the highlight of our trip, Delaide Graffeestate. Before we set out, my friends from the South African Tourism Bureau told me about this place. Yes, it is the winery owned by the famous jeweler Graff!

Mr lawrence graf fell in love with it when he first came here in 2003. After buying this place, David Dolina was specially invited to design it. Now there is a perfect hut that integrates wineries, restaurants and accommodation.

It's less than an hour's drive from Cape Town. Among the mountains, Delaire Graffeestate overlooks the vast vineyards in Stellenbosch. You can also take some handwritten letters home from the winery shop. From clothes to accessories, there are many household items, all of which are full of holiday style.

If you want to visit a nearby brewery, you might as well come here and have some snacks. Because every dish is really delicious. Especially Sanwei oysters, you must try them!

Grand provence

Last but not least, the place where we stayed in this winery trip is called the Grand Provence Heritage Wine Manor. We won't know until we get here. This place is the same owner as Huka Lodge where we lived in New Zealand.

This hotel has a history of more than 300 years and is located in the Franschhoek Valley. Vineyards stretching for 30 hectares are all over the valley bottom. The architectural style of Cape Holland is very warm, and the pure and simple aesthetic feeling is perfectly combined with the clear modern design, which is very suitable for occupancy.

Of course, there are also wine tasting programs here. The winemaker will personally introduce each signature wine, and the restaurant in the hotel is also very good!

In fact, Cape Town is worth visiting far more than that. You can also take the cable car to Table Mountain to have a panoramic view of the whole city, visit the waterfront market, walk to the lion's head and leave the most beautiful photos.
