Seoul’s original intention was to build a most luxury entertainment district. The whole city was filled with the taste of a kind of hedonism, and always attracted visitors to enjoy playing.
The completion of the Lost City diluted the taste of the game world of Sun City and added the emotion for the natural changes and mystery forces.
太阳城在1978年7月开始动工,于1979年的12月7日正式完工。开幕后的太阳城得到了全世界游客的青睐,大家纷纷走进这个梦幻国度,探索这个豪华的城堡。
1990年,梭尔继续建设太阳城,在城中开辟了更为奢华和神秘的一片领域,那就是传说中的失落之城。
梭尔的初衷就是打造一个顶级的豪华娱乐区,整个太阳城洋溢着的味道就是一种享乐主义,时时处处都吸引游客尽情释放自身的玩乐细胞。
失落之城的建成,冲淡了太阳城游戏人间的味道,增添了对自然变迁与神秘力量的感慨。

39. Cape of Good Hope:Eastern Route to Wealth 通往财富的东方航道——好望角
Cape of Good Hope is located at the southwestern tip of Africa. It is a very famous promontory with the name meaning“cape of good hope”, but in fact it is the world’s most dangerous sailing locations.
好望角是位于非洲西南端非常著名的岬角,名字的意思是“美好希望的海角”,但它却是世界上最危险的航海地段。
The Cape of Good Hope 美好希望的海角
The Cape of Good Hope is a landmark of Cape Town. It locates in the southwestern tip of South Africa, north to Cape Town about 48 km away, west to Atlantic Ocean, north to the Cape Peninsula. It is one of South Africa’s tourist destinations. Before the Suez Canal opened, it was the seaway that must be passed through from Europe to Asia. After the Suez Canal opened, if the large oil tankers couldn’t go into the Suez Canal, they must pass here. The Cape of Good Hope is often mistaken as the continent’s southern tip, in fact, Cape Agulhas is really the southern tip of Africa.
“The Cape of Good Hope” means “the cape with a good hope”, but it finally was called “Storm Corner”. The water around the Cape of Good Hope is the intersection of Atlantic and Indian Ocean areas. There are current tidal waves caused by the collision all the year round. So, the first European coming here, named it “Storm Corner”. It is the way to the wealth of the East. As long as you passed by here, you could have a chance to reach the East and get the wealth. The King of Portugal renamed it “the Cape of Good Hope”.
The National Park in Cape of Good Hope is now the world-famous attraction. The Cape of Good Hope has numerous reasons to attract you. You can breathe the fresh air, watch the wonderful intersection of warm flow and cold flow from the West Bank and East Coast; see one of the world’s highest sea cliffs. There are more than 250 species of birds inhabiting here, liking a paradise for birdwatchers. There are more than 1,100 species of plants . It is the home of a variety of wild animals including bucks, rams, rabbits, baboons, etc.
好望角是开普敦的地标,在南非的西南端,北距开普敦48公里左右,西濒大西洋,北连开普半岛。在苏伊士运河未开通之前,它是欧洲通往亚洲的海上必经之地,至今特大油轮如果无法进入苏伊士运河,仍需以此道航行。好望角常被误认为是非洲大陆的最南端,但事实上阿古拉斯角才是非洲最南端。
