Chapter 1674 Folk Art Village

In order to give visitors a coastal feel, the "Lost City" also created "Hawaii Beach", a wave pool and a water slide, and also built an "earthquake bridge" on the road from the "Lost City" casino to "Hawaii Beach", and regularly created "earthquakes", so that visitors standing on the bridge can feel the tremor when the earthquake occurs and see the smoke rising from the cracks in the rocks.

The designers were very imaginative, but there are very few earthquakes in Africa, and there is no record of earthquakes in South Africa. Therefore, this man-made earthquake attraction is a bit comical.

According to GoodJohnson, "Sun City" receives more than 3 million visitors every year, an average of nearly 10,000 per day!

Although this scale seems to be inferior to Zhang Tianyuan's HRE Museum, it is quite good, after all, there are many people in China.

After walking around Sun Valley, the sky was getting darker, and everyone was a little hungry, so GoodJohnson said that he knew of a place where the food was very delicious, and he was very excited when Nie Zhen came last time.

As soon as Zhang Tianyuan heard this, this place where Nie Zhen can be satisfied, he is estimated to be satisfied, anyway, he is not familiar with the place, since GoodJohnson has this kind intention, let's understand it, and it is not a big deal.

Today is a day of tourism, and it's not too late to start working officially from tomorrow. What's more, if you know more about this area, maybe you will have the opportunity to come back in the future, and you won't have to trouble others all the time.

Goodjohnson told Zhang Tianyuan that the next place to go is not only delicious food, but also a better understanding of the black past of South Africans.

Zhang Tianyuan thought about it for a long time, and finally thought of a name called "Lai Saidi"!

"That's right. It's Lesedi, and this is our folk culture village. The village is a two-hour drive from Johannesburg. ”

"Ahh "Monza, you have a lot of strength and a lot of food. So it's easy to get hungry.

"Don't worry, it's closer to that folk culture village, it's half an hour away, you all sit down, I'll drive as fast as I can!" said the major officer with a disdainful smile, probably going to that place a lot, so I know the shortcut.

He wasn't lying, and in less than half an hour, they had arrived at the Folk Culture Village. Then he parked the car nearby and walked past.

When Zhang Tianyuan walked along the winding path into a forest, rows and clusters of domed thatched huts appeared in front of us, like giant semi-circular balls clasped to the ground, and like yurts made of thatch and mud.

According to GoodJohnson, although this kind of house is simple, it is clean and comfortable inside, warm in winter and cool in summer. On the fences along the roads in the villages and on the doors of the houses, there are all kinds of animal heads, animal skins, bison horns, ivory, wooden masks and other decorations.

South Africa has 11 ethnic groups and 11 official languages. Even blacks are divided into different tribes, speak different languages, and have different customs. The Leseti Folk Village represents the dwellings of different tribes and has different animal heads.

Of course. Their main task here is to eat, so the first meal in South Africa was in the village of Leseti.

The dΓ©cor of the hotel is full of African style. Above the gate outside the courtyard wall are the skulls of two elephants. Four elephant tusks flutter outward, and a shadow wall behind the gate depicts four tall giraffes.

The wooden walls of the hotel are painted in bright tones with various animals from Africa. There is also a black chair with armrests in front of a wall. An elephant skull also hangs above, with a pair of tusks on either side of the seat. Tourists sat on chairs one after another to take pictures.

It was a buffet meal, which should be said to be an authentic black South African meal. There is ostrich meat, crocodile meat, there is beef, chicken, but there is no pork. There are hard rice, potato salad, and the popular pumpkin cake and corn cake, as well as cold vegetables and fruits. There's a lot of curry in each type of meat.

After the meal, GoodJohnson asked everyone what they thought of the African meal, and the big guys unanimously replied "not bad". In fact, everyone understands in their hearts that this is the level of tourist hotels, which is definitely much higher than the level of ordinary African family meals.

But if you want to say that it is delicious, it really can't be talked about, after all, with Zhang Tianyuan's current eating conditions, this African food is afraid that it can't be compared after all.

But it's not bad, but to be honest, it's not unpalatable after all.

In fact, eating is really not the most fun thing in this folk culture village, this is what GoodJohnson told Zhang Tianyuan.

The highlight of a visit to the Folk Culture Village is the singing and dancing performance of the "villagers".

The performance hall is set in a large igloo hut with several steps at the back, covered with wooden planks, for the audience seats. There is an entrance, an exit on the same side, a simple platform between the entrance and the exit, and in the corner near the exit is an "orchestra pit" for drumming and gongs.

A roaring wood fire was lit on the ground in the middle of the performance hall.

When the showrunner, a locally-dressed black boy, announced the start of the show in fluent but non-standard English, dozens of performers poured in from the entrance, first performing in large groups and then in batches. The male performers are all shirtless and bare-legged, except that the calves are tied with a leather tube with hair on both ends; the female performers wear very brightly colored animal skin skirts tied around their waists; the performers are young, middle-aged, and even older; some are handsome and beautiful, and some are average-looking, but they are all simple and natural.

One of the most performers is to lift their legs upwards, and it seems that the higher the flirtation, the more difficult it is, and the higher the acting skills. When men feed their legs, they also tap the leather tube tied to the calf, making a sound of "pop, pop, pop", which is very consistent with the rhythm of the drums. When jumping, there are constant shouts in the language of the tribe, and the sound of drums is deafening. All the songs and dances are a style, passionate, unrestrained, rough, without lightness, softness and undulations.

The last show was when the performers invited part of the audience to dance with them, and the atmosphere was warm, and Zhang Tianyuan and the others naturally did not avoid being pulled into it. The show lasted almost an hour.

Although he was a little tired, Zhang Tianyuan felt very excited anyway, and such a scene made him easily think of the grand event in Snow Eagle Village. Naturally, Monza and Yunmo will also think of it, and they will know how happy they are when they look at the bright smiles of the two of them like children.

After leaving the folk village, everyone's mood was still difficult to calm down, and they couldn't help but sing in the car, at this time the sky was already dark, and the streets of Johannesburg were also brightly lit, but many people knew that under the cover of this neon light, there were many dangers.

Upon arrival in Johannesburg, GoodJohnson went home, while Officer Major drove Zhang Tianyuan to the hotel they had booked.

A few people were bored in the car and started chatting.

"Zhang Tianyuan, I heard that South Africa has the reputation of the gold capital and the diamond city, this time you have to let me have enough fun, let's put down the things after we get to the hotel and come out for a walk, I don't know if there is a night market in Johannesburg, maybe you can find good things." ”

Liu Ruohan was the one who couldn't bear the loneliness, so he was the first to open his mouth.

"Women are just boring, what's so good about that kind of shiny thing......"

Monza said disdainfully.

"You know what, women have no resistance to that kind of shiny thing, besides, you ask your boss if he came for the diamond this time, don't talk about me, I'm just going to play with you by the way. Liu Ruohan said with a grin.

"Well, sooner or later it will come out anyway......"

"No, you must not come out at night!" Before Zhang Tianyuan finished speaking, the major officer said very sternly.

"Why, are the rumors true? Is this Johannesburg really so dangerous?" Zhang Tianyuan felt that the only reason why the major officers did not let them come out at night was probably this.

"That's right, that's what I mean, if you're going to come out, it's better during the day, but even during the day, come with me. Don't think I'm joking, let me tell you that just a few days ago, it was not yet night, it was about six or seven o'clock in the afternoon, a Chinese couple was robbed by gunmen in Johannesburg, South Africa, and both were shot and killed in the process of escaping. ”

The two Chinese nationals who were killed were from a coastal province and city in China, and they have been doing business in South Africa since January 2007 and are currently in the blanket business. Among them, the male surname is Li, 47 years old, and the female surname is Ni, 45 years old. The two had a prosperous business on weekdays, but they got off work late on the 6th, but when they drove their truck past a Chinese mall, they were robbed by a group of gunmen. In the process of trying to flee the scene, the two were unfortunately shot by the gangsters with AK-47 automatic rifles and died on the spot. This is also the increase in the number of Chinese citizens shot dead in South Africa this year to nine, six of whom were killed in Johannesburg. ”

"Oh my mother, what kind of place is this, how could this happen, I didn't come if I knew I wouldn't come. Although Liu Ruohan had heard that Johannesburg was unsafe before, he didn't expect it to be so unsafe.

Zhang Tianyuan looked out the window, there were many hooded people squatting there on the side of the road, as if they were napping, but it gave people the feeling that these people were like leopards hiding there looking for prey, as long as it was completely dark, they would immediately move.

Suddenly, the major officer shouted, "Hurry up, I thought nothing would happen today, but it seems that I still thought too well." ”

"What's wrong?"

Liu Ruohan asked suspiciously.

At this time, Zhang Tianyuan had already seen the reason for the major officer's shouting, just on the fork in the road in front of them, a car suddenly drove sideways, blocking the entire intersection, and then more than a dozen people got out of the car, all armed with AK47-like guns, although the sky was dark, but through the light can still see clearly.

"Nima!"

Zhang Tianyuan scolded and asked, "Major, can you go over?"

"If it's a normal car, it's definitely bad, but our car is special, you can rest assured, they can't stop it, but you'd better be prepared to accept the impact." The major officer licked his lips and smiled. (To be continued.) )
