Why do you want to travel to the Cape of Good Hope?

The Cape of Good Hope is a landmark in Cape Town. Even Cape Town was built because of the Cape of Good Hope, and even its name comes from the Cape of Good Hope. The Cape of Good Hope is located at the intersection of the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean, that is, to the south of Africa, South Africa and China. The mighty westerly jet has set off stormy waves all year round. In addition to the damage caused by storms, there are often "killing waves" here.

The front of this wave is like a cliff and the back is like a gentle hillside. The wave height is generally15-20m, which appears frequently in winter, and sometimes there are rotating waves caused by polar winds. When these two waves are superimposed, the sea conditions are worse, and there is a strong coastal current here. When the waves meet the current, the whole sea surface rolls like a boiling pot, and ships sailing here are often in trouble.

Therefore, it becomes the most dangerous navigation area in the world. Now, the Cape of Good Hope National Park is a world-famous tourist attraction, and countless tourists take photos in front of the Cape of Good Hope sign every day.
