The name of Victoria Harbour is from Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom. Free access is available throughout the year. In the early years, the British saw the potential to become a fine port in East Asia, and later seized Hong Kong from the Qing government to develop its maritime trade in the Far East. Victoria Harbour has always influenced Hong Kong's history and culture, leading the economic and tourism development of Hong Kong, China, and is one of the keys to Hong Kong becoming an international metropolis."

    "Nesna Coral Lake, the outlet of Cape Town's Ness River, is a large lagoon formed by changes in siltation terrain. The entire lake is about five kilometers away and the lake is clear. Because the lake is full of reed marshland, the natural environment is good, so it has become a paradise for migratory birds. In the green mountains and green waters, the coral lake is like a pearl of a lizard."

It was these two headlands that resisted the storms and huge waves of the Indian Ocean, and the Coral Lake was calm and the waves were bright and golden. Moreover, the towns and piers by the lake are also quite distinctive. Walking in such a quiet environment and beautiful scenery, whether it is sightseeing or shopping, you will feel relaxed and happy.

    "The wave valley in the sun city is actually an artificial beach. Every time there is a huge wave, it will make great fun for tourists who play here. There is also a beach here, of course, it is also an artificial beach, but the scenery is very good. It gives you the illusion of being on the beach."
    Sun City

    No.5 of Family-friendly Attractions in South Africa
    Highlights: The Valley of the Waves is the most important theme park in the Lost City. It can be reached from the entertainment center through the Bridge of Time, or from the Palace Hotel down the steps through the Roman Theater. At the heart of Wave Valley is the 6,500-square-meter wavepool, which is surrounded by palm trees, sand, grass-roofed pavilions and loungers to create a tropical seaside setting. The hydraulic wave-making system can create a 1.8-meter-high wave in an average of 90 seconds, and can also create a wonderful diamond pattern on the water surface when there is no wave. If just sunbathing and surfing aren't exciting enough, you can also try the water slides. There are five water slides in the water park, of which the more thrilling is the Temple of Courage. The slide is 70 meters long, and the 17-meter pipe is almost perpendicular to the ground. The more leisurely project is the Lazy River, where tourists can sit on the lifebuoy and float down the river, sometimes drifting across small bridges, sometimes diving underground, and can enter the folk village for a rest at any time.
