Cape of Good Hope


"Cape of Good Hope" has the origin of a variety of claims. The most common argument has two types: one that is Dias returned to Lisbon in December 1488 after Joao II to the statement of the "Cape of Storms" of knowledge, Joao II think around this cape, there India hopes to reach the dream, therefore, "Cape of Storms" was renamed "Cape of Good Hope"; another way of saying da Gama since India rewarding experience, when the Portuguese king was the "Cape of Storms" renamed "Cape of Good Hope", to shows bypass this cape to bring good luck.
Cape of Good Hope is a slender rocky headland, like a sword straight into the sea. Cape of Good Hope on one side, stands a lighthouse, quite the history, the white lighthouse is not only a coordinate direction, while on his sign also clearly states the length of the world's ten famous city from the lighthouse, such as the Beijing one thousand 12933 Meter.
Lean on a railing and look at the Cape of Good Hope, you can see the distant sky and sea, you can also see the foot of the spray flying, it can be described as spectacular. Cape of Good Hope as a symbol of Africa, is every African travel enthusiasts will come to the place. As the saying goes, to less than South Africa in Cape Town, South Africa have never been equal; not Cape of Good Hope to Cape Town, did not mean to Cape Town. This is like Beijing, Beijing Great Wall of China, is a tourist must-see destination.
Tourists go to the Cape of Good Hope are mostly directed at "the southern tip of Africa," "two oceans interchange" name comes, but this is precisely the beauty of a people committed misunderstanding. The southernmost tip of Africa, she is in fact 147 km from Cape Agulhas, and the actual junction of two oceans also on these two seas in the middle, rather than just in the Cape of Good Hope. But it also can not be where people regret, because in addition to the fame of Good Hope, he was famous nature reserve. Where the distribution of many of the low bushes and piles of bright flowers in full bloom, antelope, zebra, cormorants, Black Hawk and other rare animals and birds are happy living here.
