South Africa·I want to go to the end of the world to take a look

As a child, I saw on the geography textbook that South Africa is at the southern end of the entire African continent, and I always thought that the Cape of Good Hope was the southernmost point of Africa. But when I came to South Africa, to this place called the end of the world, I found out that the Cape of Good Hope is not the southernmost point of the African continent. 🌍The actual southernmost point of the African continent is Cape Agulhas, which is more than 100 kilometers away from the Cape of Good Hope. It's just that the Cape of Good Hope is so famous that many people mistake it for the southernmost point. 🚗There are four ways to get from Cape Town to the Cape of Good Hope: 🚖Taxi: Uber and Grab are quite common in South Africa, with Uber being more formal, and Grab often encountering situations where drivers raise the price. 🚗Self-driving: Self-driving is very convenient, as you can adjust your destination at any time, but pay more attention to driving safety. 🚌Bus: You can take the Citysightseeing Bus, which stops at some major attractions. 🚩Tour group/Chartered car: The most worry-free way, but you have to adhere to the team's schedule, sacrificing some freedom. There are three attractions on the way to the Cape of Good Hope: 1⃣️Cape of Good Hope Park It takes about more than an hour to walk from cape point to cape of good hope. The wind is particularly strong, and the waves are particularly fierce. In the roar of the waves hitting the shore, you can feel 'the land ends here, the sea begins here'. 2⃣️Hout Bay to see seals You can take a boat to Seal Island to see seals basking in the sun, the small beach is crowded with lazy sunbathing seals. 3⃣️Boulders Beach to see penguins You don't have to go to Antarctica to see groups of cute penguins. Penguins are adorable, but the smell of Boulders Beach, due to the penguins' defecation everywhere, is indescribable.
