The Cape Town National Botanic Gardens, located at the eastern foothills of Tebul, is truly known as the Stenbers National Botanic Gardens of South Africa, but most people refer to the largest botanical garden in South Africa as the Cape Town National Botanic Gardens.

Occupying about 528 hectares of land on the eastern slopes of Mount Tebul, the botanical garden was built more than 100 years ago in 1913 and is the oldest botanical garden in South Africa.

On this planet, there are six major flora of plants, and one of these six flora, the Cape Flora, although it only occupies 0.04% of the earth's surface area, but it is such a small area, but there are more than 8,500 species of plants, a considerable part of which are endemic species.

The National Botanic Garden of South Africa has more than 4,000 species of plants planted in the Cape Flora Zone, which is currently the largest botanical garden in the world.

It can be said that in Cape Town, in addition to Mount Tebul, the National Botanic Garden is also an important external business card of Cape Town.

Especially in 1952, the Vladivostok-Cape Town Rally finally ended in Cape Town, and the final finish was arranged in the Botanical Garden Square in front of the National Botanical Garden in Stenbos, South Africa, and the botanical garden became even more famous around the world.

It's like the Dakar in the previous life, if it weren't for the famous Paris Dakar Rally, who would have known that there was a beautiful Rose Lake in the Dakar?

The National Botanic Garden Square of South Africa is just outside the gate of the Botanic Garden, which is an equilateral triangle with each side about 500 meters long.

In the previous life, there was not such a large square in front of the square of the National Botanic Gardens of South Africa, but a green belt of equal size. However, in this lifetime, because the famous Vladivostok-Cape Town Rally was the finishing point here, such a unique square was built here as early as 1951.

Since the construction of this square, it has become one of the most attractive places in the world every year in March and April. Every day, hundreds of thousands of tourists and fans from all over the world come here to welcome the dusty riders.

Especially when the champion driver arrives here, the number of tourists and fans exceeds one million and the same as playing.

On March 27 this year, more than a million tourists, fans and locals gathered in this beautiful square, all with smiles on their faces, waiting for the champion to drive through the victory gate.

The Gate of Victory was built specifically for the Vladivostok-Cape Town Rally by William Telson, one of Europe's most famous architects of the last century.

It is said that after the end of the 7th Vladivostok-Cape Town Rally in 1951, the organizing committee of the rally began to send out opinions to the whole world, and after consulting the opinions of fans all over the world, and according to the preparations made by several cities that were interested in running for the Vladivostok-XXX car rally, it was finally decided to place the destination city of this great rally in Cape Town.

The reason why Cape Town was able to defeat Gibraltar in Spain, Brest in France and many other cities to become the final city of this rally is that in addition to Cape Town's advantage as the finishing city in the race, the more important point is that the city has made a lot of careful preparations for this rally.

Among them, the first victory gate with a height of more than 100 meters in the history of mankind is one of the most attractive existences.

As early as 1950, Cape Town began preparing for the increasingly influential Vladivostok-Aktau car rally. That's right, before the 8th rally, the name of this rally was Vladivostok-Aktau Automobile Rally.

Because at that time, the rally started from Vladivostok and ended at Aktau, a small city near the Caspian Sea in the westernmost part of Dahua, in Kazakhstan Oblast. At that time, the whole rally was in Dahua.

After the 6th edition of the rally, the organizing committee decided to promote the event to the world, and the city of Cape Town, after learning the news, not only carefully designed a set of rally schedules for the organizing committee, but also actively built the Botanical Garden Square and the famous victory gate in the city.

The Gate of Victory is a huge steel arch with a height of 112 meters and a span of 388 meters, which is made of stainless steel plates. Immediately after its completion, it became the tallest man-made arch in the world at the time.

Although the Americans shamelessly plagiarized the design of the Victory Gate and built a taller and larger steel arch in St. Louis, replacing the Victory Gate as the largest man-made arch in the world, in the fifties, the birth of the Victory Gate immediately tilted the scales in the hearts of the rally organizing committee and fans around the world in favor of Cape Town.

In the end, Cape Town, with its Victory Gate for rally drivers and its unique schedule, beat the rest of the city and became the finishing city of the rally.

This Gate of Victory is the true end of the Vladivostok-Cape Town Rally, a world where any driver dreams of being able to drive his car through it.

Especially if you can beat the crowd and be the first to drive through this arch at a Vladivostok-Cape Town Rally, you will instantly become a hero to fans around the world.

At 3:36 p.m. on March 27, 2017, the modified tough guy like a wild beast, carrying the grandmaster and Fang Zhengying, slowly drove through the door of dreams in the hearts of fans all over the world, and became a new legend.

Vladivostok – The first amateur driver to win the rally in the 64-year history of the Cape Town Rally!

The first female driver in history to win the championship!

These two firsts alone are enough to make today's Grandmaster and Fang Zhengying legends in this rally.

Countless flashes of light flashed as the modified tough guy crossed the Victory Gate, and even on a clear afternoon, the entire square was illuminated by the flickering flash.

Cheers, shouts, soaring into the sky!

At this moment, all the fans, tourists and local residents who came to the scene were cheering and paying tribute to the two drivers who created a legend.

After driving through the Gate of Victory, the Grandmaster parked the car on the side of the Gate of Victory, and then got out of the car with Fang Zhengying.

After the grandmaster got out of the car at Fang Zhengying, he directly lifted his girlfriend up and put it on the roof of the car, and he also climbed on the car cover, and the two of them stood on this modified tough guy like this, receiving cheers from fans all over the world.

The glory of this moment belongs to the Grandmaster and Fang Zhengying!
