We traveled to Cape Town with a group in South Africa. After lunch, we took a walking tour to see the VOC Vegetable Garden, St. George's Cathedral, the Presidential Palace, the Slave Museum, the Parliament, the Museum, the Library and other institutional attractions.
Traveling with a group in South Africa, I came to Cape Town and walked to visit the oldest street garden in South Africa and other attractions.
The garden was originally the private garden of Cecil Rhodes of the East India Company. It is now a large green space and free park in Cape Town. Anyone who visits Cape Town will come here to take a look, because there are many iconic buildings in Cape Town around it. Most of these buildings were built in the 17th and 18th centuries and reflect the medieval European architectural style.

I can tell you that the atmosphere is really great. The trip also offers installment payment for tickets. What are you waiting for? Let's go!
Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens is the national botanical garden in Cape Town. It is located in the tropics, so the plants are very lush. Although there are many tourists, the entire botanical garden is very large and the scenery is quite beautiful. It is also recommended to visit when you come to Cape Town.

Due to its wide harbor and deep water, Hong Kong, China is also known as the "Pearl of the Orient" and "one of the three major night views in the world". The name of Victoria Harbor comes from Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom. People can enter and exit freely all year round. In the early years, the British saw the potential of becoming an excellent port in East Asia. Later, they seized Hong Kong from the Qing government and developed their maritime trade in the Far East. Victoria Harbor has always influenced Hong Kong's history and culture, dominated the development of Hong Kong's economy and tourism, and is one of the keys to Hong Kong's becoming an international metropolis.
Our hotel is near the Pier Square, a very beautiful place. There are a lot of people here during the day, but we go out early and come back late to visit various attractions. We can only go there early in the morning. The scenery is nice, and during the day it feels a bit like Fisherman's Wharf.

The Two Ocean Aquarium is great for little kids that would like to see the underwater world
A stunning aquarium located on the V&A Waterfront. We visited during a rainy day in Cape Town and enjoyed seeing the daily penguin walk and fish feeding. The aquarium does amazing work focus in conservation and public education. This is a must visit!
