From the top of the monument you have an astonishing view of the grest city of Pretoria
South Africa has three capitals, of which the administrative capital is Pretoria, one of the important cities in South Africa, and tourists generally come here to visit. South Africa is one of the BRICS members, but the economic development in recent years has not been very good.
Located on a hill at the southern entrance of the city of Pretoria, the administrative capital of South Africa, the city of South Africa is quite strange. He has three capitals that carry different functions. This is the largest memorial in South Africa. It was built in 1949 and 41 meters high. The next two floors, plus the basement floor, you can walk out of the outdoors, overlooking the city, and the first floor is mainly marble murals, which tell the story of the early pioneers who ventured into southern Africa, and there is an exhibition hall in the basement and a world-famous memorial hall, the Pioneer Memorial Hall, is South Africa. The political scene is carefully guided by the best proof of the national reconstruction and development plan, which was once awarded the title of Africa's best museum.
This memorial is on a mountain outside the city of Preto, and dozens of steps can be climbed from the parking lot halfway up the mountain to reach the memorial platform. The memorial hall is all made of stone, and the color of the South African plateau is scattered. The sky is blue and transparent, and the memorial hall is majestic and solemn. The reliefs in the pavilion are very exquisite and can be trickled. There is an elevator to the top platform, climb high and look at the whole city of Bito. Blue sky and white clouds, distant mountain cities, very South African-style scenery. It is worth mentioning that when I went to 1106, the entrance to the memorial hall was a Chinese interpretation exhibition board. In addition, when the visit was completed, a team of primary school students were preparing to enter the visit. One of the beautiful little girls told me that she was half Chinese, and I only knew that her mother was Chinese. In addition, there are steps on the top floor to walk to the edge of the dome. It is recommended not to look down at the hall. I saw that my legs were soft - it was too high. I didn't bring a camera on a business trip, and I took a few photos on my mobile phone for you to understand.
Pretoria is higher up, and there is a memorial hall for the ancestors. It is mainly to commemorate the early pioneers who ventured into southern Africa. The exhibits record the history of the year, from the landing of the Dutch colonists from Cape Town to the release of Mandela, and are a show of South African history. Its architecture is very characteristic, like a big and majestic earthen castle with a stone base. Worth a visit.
