A must-see rock monument in Zimbabwe!

🌟Highlights: Zimbabwe, meaning "stone city" in Shona, is home to rocks that are not just ordinary stones, but wonders full of stories. Let's explore the charm of these "rock stars" together! 🌈Great Zimbabwe This "ancient capital" from the 13th to 15th centuries was once the center of the Kingdom of the Nikoba people, located in the southern province of Masvingo. The stone walls are built without glue and have a unique shape. The "Zimbabwe Bird" on the national flag was excavated here, making it truly "worthy of its name." 🌈Matobo Hills 35 km southeast of Bulawayo, the smooth, whale-backed hills contrast with the dense vegetation. The cave paintings are like an "ancient version of social media," recording the daily life of 320 AD. 🌈Domboshava & Ngomakurira 30 km northeast of Harare, rock paintings record the daily life of ancient people hunting, farming, and worshiping. This was once the "ritual base" of the Zeruru people and is now a paradise for hikers. 🌈Nyanga Mountain Zimbabwe's "Mount Everest" is located in the northeastern Mutare region. Not only is it tall, but it also hides Stone Age sites, terraces, and "pit houses," taking you on a journey to the magical world of ancient civilizations. 🌈Balancing Rocks The "rock acrobatics troupe" in the southeastern suburbs of Harare, where giant rocks are stacked in a delicate balance, is a miracle of nature. These three "divine stones" have also become the main feature of Zimbabwean currency! Aren't these rock landscapes amazing? Come to Zimbabwe and experience the "hardcore" charm!
