I have been there twice , and wish to go back again …. did not explore it enough. it’s easy to navigate and find things around
South Africa was once the world's largest gold mining area, so it also attracted many gold diggers from all over the world. The gold mining city witnessed the rise and fall of the South African gold industry, but now it has become a tourist area, which is also very beautiful.

Lesedi Cultural Village is a truly captivating experience! Nestled in the heart of South Africa, it offers an authentic glimpse into the rich heritage of the country's diverse tribes. From the vibrant traditional dances to the warm hospitality of the locals, every moment felt genuine and enlightening. The guided tours were informative and engaging, allowing me to immerse myself in the customs, music, and cuisine of different cultures. The atmosphere is both festive and educational.
The Folk Culture Village is also a traditional art landscape in South Africa. There are many folk performances. Many different design styles can be found in the folk projects in this place. Some things in the cultural village are also very good.

We had a lovely time at the Johannesburg zoo. The zoo is very green, lush and spacious and has a great diversity of animals. it’s a very nice environment to stroll around and learn about the different animals.
Visiting the Johannesburg Zoo is also a must-see attraction for many people. After all, the African animal world has always been what we yearn for. In the Johannesburg Zoo, we can see many African animals.

The Johannesburg Botanical Gardens in South Africa was built on the basis of Jan Van Riebeeck Park in 1969. At that time, the overall design of the plant planting in the entire park was based on 42 families of trees as the framework, and other plants were planted according to their ecological habits and ornamental characteristics.
The botanical garden has an amazing scenery great for walks with family and friends.

The Wild Duck Lake is not very big, but there are really many ducks to see. There are not many tourists in the park. The scenery is particularly beautiful and very quiet. Although I only stayed for a short time, the scenery is still impressive.
It's a very large lake. Although it's a little off the beaten track, it's quite convenient to drive here. The vegetation here is particularly lush, and there are many wild ducks and birds living here. The scenery is particularly good.

The scenery of the Bird Park is really good. There are many birds here, many of which are known and unknown. It is also a place with a particularly good environment and pleasant scenery. It is a very suitable place for tourism.
