To be honest, the Grandmaster really doesn't know the real answer to this question. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the previous life, the Cape of Good Hope was the most famous cape, and the education received by the grandmaster since childhood also said that the Cape of Good Hope is the southernmost point of Africa. Therefore, when Fang Zhengying asked this, he really stopped the grandmaster.

However, since his girlfriend asked, the grandmaster can't help but answer.

He pointed to the three wooden plaques that were connected not far from the three of them and said, "Zhengying, I don't know this question very well, but don't you see that the three signs say 'The Cape of Good Hope is located at 18 degrees 28 minutes and 26 seconds east longitude, 34 degrees 21 minutes 25 seconds south latitude, the Cape of Good Hope - the southwestern tip of Africa'?"

Fang Zhengying looked at the three wooden plaques and said, "But it says the southwesternmost tip of Africa, but I asked about the southernmost tip of Africa." ”

Prince William on the side said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness, in fact, if you don't understand this issue carefully, many people don't know. In fact, the Cape of Good Hope is not the southernmost point of the African continent. ”

Prince William stretched out his arm and pointed to the west of the Cape of Good Hope, "In that direction, 147 kilometers away in a straight line from here, there is a place called Cape Achareight, which is the real southernmost point of the African continent. ”

Grandmaster and Fang Zhengying suddenly realized, but Fang Zhengying continued to ask: "Your Royal Highness, since that Cape Agulhas is the southernmost point of Africa, why have I never heard of that place? It stands to reason that it should be the most famous, right?"

Prince William laughs: "A lot of times, the most extreme thing is not necessarily the most famous. ”

"I've been to Cape Acharhas before, but the shore is flat, and there are only rocky beaches, and there are no white waves like here, nor the sound of the waves, but a half-man-high cube of stone stands lonely by the sea. However, the stele is proof that Cape Agulhas is the southernmost point of the African continent, and I remember that the stele read, 'You are now at the southernmost point of the African continent -- Cape Acharest,' and the geographical location of the stele was indicated below -- 34 degrees 49 minutes 42 seconds south latitude, 20 degrees 00 minutes 33 seconds east longitude. Based on this geographical location, Cape Agulhas is indeed the southernmost point of the African continent, about 50 kilometers further south. ”

Directly above the stele is the distance between the southernmost point of the African continent and the world's major cities, for example, it says that Cape Agulhas is 147 kilometers from the Cape of Good Hope. It is 12,012 kilometers away from the capital of your Dahua, and it looks like the sign on the lighthouse of the Cape of Good Hope in the east. ”

"There are many reasons why Cape Agulhas is not as famous as the Cape of Good Hope. But it all boils down to a few things. The first is that the scenery there is not as beautiful as here. Look here, the waves crash on the shore, the momentum is majestic, there are many kinds of plants, there are many wild animals from time to time, the natural scenery is beautiful, and it is also listed as a national nature reserve. And Cape Acharhas has nothing, except for the rocky beach at a glance, there is nothing attractive at all. The second point is that the Cape of Good Hope is remembered by many famous people, such as the Portuguese navigator Dias who set off from Lisbon in August 1487 and traveled south along the west coast of Africa, when he was caught in a storm when he arrived at Port Walvis. He and his crew drifted on the sea for 12 days and nights, anchored in the Gulf of Mosse off the south coast of Africa on 3 February of the following year. On the way back, he encountered strong winds and waves at the Cape of Good Hope, and mistakenly thought that he had come to the southernmost point of the African continent, so he named this headland 'Cape Storm'. The King of Portugal thought the discovery of Cape Storm a good omen, as bypassing it would lead to the rich East, and renamed it Cape of Good Hope. From this point of view, mistaking the Cape of Good Hope for the southernmost point of the African continent is, first and foremost, a historical mistake. ”

After a pause, Prince William continued: "The Cape of Good Hope was discovered by Dias, and similarly, Vasco da Gama, who was the first to pass through the Cape of Good Hope and eventually reach the Far Eastern Continent, also stopped at the Cape of Good Hope. Oh, there's the Dias and da Gama memorial. With these two celebrity memorials, the Cape of Good Hope is of course much more famous. In addition, the tourist facilities here are very complete, and a large number of tourists come here every year for sightseeing, and after a long time, naturally no one knows about Cape Acharests. ”

Hearing Prince William's explanation, Fang Zhengying nodded thoughtfully. The grandmaster gave Prince William a thumbs up in admiration.

It has to be said that the scenery of the Cape of Good Hope is really amazing, whether it is natural or artificially repaired, it has the innate conditions to become a first-class tourist destination, so it is not surprising that it can become the most famous cape in the world.

After visiting the Cape of Good Hope, Fang Zhengying was full of interest and prepared to go to the white Cape of Good Hope lighthouse that he had just seen in the Cape of Good Hope to play, and Prince William naturally would not refuse this request.

However, from here to the old lighthouse, that is, the white Cape of Good Hope lighthouse, it is impossible to drive directly, and you can only walk along a paved mountain road.

Prince William spoke to the bodyguards, and the two bodyguards left, and the two of them were responsible for driving the Land Rover and the modified tough guy down the mountain, and then from the other side of the mountain road to the old lighthouse.

The three of them also had a bodyguard walking on the mountain road, passing by Cape Diaz, which has the best viewing angle in the entire Cape of Good Hope, where the three men left a lot of photos, and then walked for about 20 minutes before arriving at the old lighthouse.

This is the southernmost point of the entire Cape Town Peninsula, and the old lighthouse is built on a cliff more than 60 meters high.

This old lighthouse is almost 170 years old and was built in 1849. However, because the old lighthouse was built too high, it was often obscured by thick fog, so in 1919, the old lighthouse was abandoned, and a new small lighthouse was built halfway down the hill below the old lighthouse.

However, although the old lighthouse was abandoned, it has been transformed into an observation platform, attracting more tourists every year.

At the old lighthouse, Fang Zhengying and the grandmaster also saw the sign that Prince William said just now, which not only wrote the coordinates of the old lighthouse, but also the distance between it and the top ten famous cities in the world.

The old lighthouse is like an old man, lonely but determined to stand here.

The charm of the simple vicissitudes of life makes visitors feel a little more lonely in addition to excitement......

After returning from the Cape of Good Hope, a few people drove around the city, enjoying the scenery noted in the city, and finally returned to the Table Bay Hotel at nightfall.
