• Cape Town, South Africa

  Cape Town, the second largest city in South Africa, the legislative capital of South Africa, the capital of the Western Cape Province, an integral part of the Cape Town metropolitan area, the South African Parliament and many government departments are also located in the city. Cape Town is famous for its natural beauty and its docks.

  The city is rolling out on the back of the mountains, the western outskirts of the Atlantic Ocean, the southern suburbs into the Indian Ocean, living in the meeting of the two oceans. There are many old colonial buildings in the city, located near the Grand Square, Cape Town Castle, built in 1666, is the oldest building in the city. Most of its construction materials came from the Netherlands, and it was later used as the governor's residence and government office.

  Originally developed around the docks, Cape Town became the first permanent European settlement in sub-Saharan Africa, as merchant ships from the Netherlands bound for East Africa, India, and Asia would pass through the area to resupply. Later, the Europeans also established their first military base, Fort Good Hope, and Cape Town was the largest city in southern Africa before the founding of Johannesburg and the discovery of large quantities of gold and diamonds in the Transvaal.

  • History and culture: The multi-ethnic and multi-cultural social structure has made the local religious beliefs pluralistic, and the major world religions have influence in the region. The white and colored people mostly believe in Christianity, the black people believe in primitive religions, the Asian people mostly believe in Hinduism, Islam and Christianity, and the minority believe in Confucianism, Buddhism, Jainism and Zoroastrianism.

             South African social etiquette can be summed up as "black and white", "mainly British". The so-called "black and white" refers to: restricted by race, religion, customs, black and white South Africans obey the social etiquette is different; British style mainly refers to: in a long historical period, white people controlled the political power in South Africa, and white social etiquette, especially British social etiquette, was widely popular in South African society. In social situations, the common greeting etiquette adopted by South Africans is to shake hands, and they address their partners mainly "Sir", "Miss", or "Mrs". Among the black tribes, especially in the vast rural areas, black South Africans often show a different style from the mainstream of society.
