We had a big meal

Brazzaville is located on the north bank of the lower Congo River (Zaire River), facing Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, across the river. It is a beautiful tropical city known as the Garden City, with evergreen seasons, rows of mangoes, coconuts, and plantains, and lush green shade. Figures 1-7 show the new landmark in Brazzaville built by Chinese construction—the Twin Towers, consisting of two towers: one is a 30-story hotel and supporting facilities, and the other is an office building. The project started in 2021, aiming to create a city landmark integrating hotel, office, conference, and entertainment functions. The towers are about 100 meters tall, connected by a podium, forming a unique urban landscape.

It was built in 1961 and is located in Brazzaville, the capital of the Republic of Congo. In the center of the square is a bronze bust of Charles de Gaulle, sculpted by G. Palio. The reliefs on both sides of the base depict the scenes of de Gaulle announcing autonomy for French African colonies in 1944 and authorizing Fulbert Youlou to establish the Republic of Congo's autonomy in 1958. Behind the bust are two murals: the left mural depicts de Gaulle commanding French troops fighting Nazi Germany, and the right mural shows de Gaulle with the Black Governor Félix Éboué.

📅 Itinerary Day1：Explore Kinshasa: Head to the National Museum of DRC and soak up the history. Go shopping at Marché Artisanal Royal for souvenirs before grabbing a drink at Royal Gardens to do some people watching. Finish the evening with Congolese food - try Pondu, Chikwuage and some goat. Day2: Head out early and go to Nsele national park. Take a hike around, feed the hippos, watch the lions and admire the zebras and crocodiles. Enjoy a well earned lunch of Liboke du poisson and Fufu at the park restaurant. Head back to Kinshasa to beat the traffic and grab supper at Chez Beki. Day3: Visit Lola Ya Bonobo and wonder at the bonobos as they play around. Head on over to the nursery to see the new baby bonobos that have just arrived. Soak up the scenery at Lac Ma Vallee with a hike and then some lunch before heading back to Kinshasa for a Lebanese supper at Al Dar. 🏨 Accommodation 🍴 Food Recommendations - Liboke, Chikwuage, Pondu and le Captaine. Plenty of other options including curry, sushi and Lebanese food. 📌 Tips Be safe but embrace a bit of the city’s madness.

The museum is so far the best attempt to display Congolese historical art life in the country. It features multiple cultural objects from different tribes found in the country. Apart from its content, the museum’s architecture could stand alone as a topic of discussion, what inspired its design and what does it aim to reference!!? African history perhaps, as the architecture incorporates elements that could remind us of African architecture. #architecture #art #congo #drc #kinshasa
