号称世界最美丽的城市之一 - 开普敦(Cape Town)，　其实有名在于它的独到的地理位置；　先看看有关的介绍，还是让你自己来评价吧



南非开普敦是欧裔白人在南非建立的第一座城市，这座南非白人心中的母城三百馀年来数度易主，历经荷、英、德、法等欧洲诸国的统治及殖民，地处非洲却充满多元欧洲殖民地文化色彩的开普敦，因此成为南非的文化古都。集欧洲和非洲人文、自然景观特色於一身，开普敦因此名列世界最美丽的都市之一，也是南非最受欢迎的观光都市。

如果您绕过半个地球，发现开普敦地区拥有众多世界级景观或设施而感到惊讶不己，那麽常被南非政府选来当作代表南非之美的宣传陆标的桌山绝对不是您最后的惊艳。桌山顶宽三千两百公尺的桌面及一千零八十六公尺的高度，已成了开普敦居民每天观察天候的指标。每当山顶上覆有白云，开普敦人会说那是上帝餐桌上已铺上『桌巾』准备用餐，无暇顾天气，所以当日天气必定多云转阴。搭乘自1929年即开始载客营运的缆车是目前上桌山山顶最便捷的工具。乘客可以360度回旋上山，视野角度的变换将完整桌湾环伺的开普敦市区和开普半岛的蔚蓝海岸线一览无遗。

开普半岛最南端的好望角自然保护区，面积七千八百八十公顷，四十公里长的海岸线中，看似贫脊的荒原育孕育着超过一千五百种以上的耐风寒原生种的凡波斯，还有许多鸟类和爬虫类及小型动物如鸵鸟、羚羊、狒狒等。这片自然保护区的魅力自然来自全年都缤纷的植物相，轮番上阵，热闹非凡。

开普敦为南非立法首都所在地，市区内殖民时代的古宅和单调的商业高楼比邻鼎立，多种便利的购物休闲中心到处可见。走过殖民历史的开普敦，现今已成为南非政治经贸中心。除去行政色彩，可观看欧亚往来的船只好望角保护区、俯瞰城市和印度洋的桌山观景点、远近驰名的桌湾（Table Bay）海滩美景、历史悠久的葡萄酒农庄、面积广大的克腾斯伯希国家植物园等，也吸引世界各地的游客前往探究。开普敦被周围山脉与海洋环抱的景观印象，仍是南非的美丽表徵。

开普敦和开普半岛及花园大道是一般来自全球各地的旅客迎接南非春天脚步的最佳迎春地。开普半岛的山区，肥沃的山谷，着名的野生花卉绵延不断，有雏菊、普洛蒂亚、爱莉卡、百合、鸢尾花和兰花。其中普洛蒂亚是南非最具盛名的花种，在南非有超过三百五十种以上的普洛蒂亚花，其中超过一半以上的品种是生长在开普花卉王国。而欣赏普洛蒂亚花的最佳去处就是开普半岛的好望角自然保护区。

开普敦古典雅致的市容，充裕住宿旅馆及四面八达的交通网路，使得开普敦成为春天赏花客必到落脚处。登上开普敦的地标桌山上，鸟瞰这座有世界最美丽城市之一美誉的芳颜，叁观国会大厦、旧城堡、市政厅..等建筑精典。而观光客可尽情地在水门广场享受购物及瞎拼的乐趣，及悠闲地漫游港滨风情，区内两洋水族馆规模非洲第一，可看的珍贵的印度洋和大西洋水生物极丰富。到逾百年的古鲁特，康士坦夏葡萄园农庄品尝开普美酒，又可叁观古意盎然的庄园博物馆，是非常知性的安排。



Cape Town, Mother City of Africa, and the Western Cape, an area which is regarded as one of the most beautiful regions in the world. The City is a rare cultural gem, resulting from the amalgamation of Indonesian, French, Dutch, British and German settlers, the local Bushman and Hottentot tribes and the Bantu tribes from the north.


The impressive presence of Table Mountain, flanked by the legendary Devil's Peak and historical Signal Hill, stands proudly above the city. Beautiful white sandy beaches along a peaceful coastline frame the Cape Peninsula, which is famed for its unique floral kingdom, bountiful rivers, vleis and dams and magnificent countryside. The surrounding area extends far into the winelands, green in summer and red-gold in autumn.


Cape Town boasts a multitude of entertainment, ranging from outdoor activities and adventures in the sun to a roaring night life under neon signs. The vast range of shopping opportunities includes haggling with shopholders at Greenmarket Square Flea Market, as well as breezing through sophisticated and stylish shopping malls. The huge variety of restaurants reflects the multicultured history of the Cape and caters for everyone's taste, from fast-food outlets and casual to the chic to the very elegant.


Cape Town provides a setting for many scenic wonders, magnificent seascapes and panoramic vistas. The beautiful coastal areas of Camps Bay, Clifton, Llandudno, Bantry Bay, Hout Bay and Blouberg surround the breathtaking tranquility of the winelands, Constantia, Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franshhoek.

Cape Town is a city of culture, built on a history that reflects in the architecture, cuisine, music and dance. Together with a warm summer and temperate winter climate and a friendly community, the Western Cape and the Mother City are an ideal holiday destination throughout the year.
