Scenery in Harare, Zimbabwe

Sentence 1 I went to Zimbabwe for seven days, and I went to Harare, Utabe, Manikaran and Igusi. I think the gap between China and Zimbabwe is too big. Except Harare, Utapai and Manikaran, Igusi is a small city, which is about equivalent to a county in China, and its population does not exceed100000. But whether it is a big city or a small city, it gives me the feeling that it is clean, really too clean, and the ground is almost spotless. I stayed in Zimbabwe for seven days and my shoes haven't been polished yet. I went out and came back basically the same.

…

The second sentence stands at the height of Harare City and looks around. The buttonwood trees in the city are like burning torches. There is a local saying that the richer the rainfall, the brighter the sunshine, and the flowers of Indus will be unusually open, which indicates a bumper harvest this year. Just when the phoenix tree blooms, the dense yellow flowers are in bud, like a string of two bells hanging on the treetops. When the yellow flowers compete to open, it is the beginning of the harvest season in a year.

…

Today Harare has become a modern city in southern Africa, with straight and wide streets, high-rise buildings, parks all over the city, artificial waterfalls in the square, well-equipped clubs and green golf courses. Streets crisscross the city, forming numerous "wells". The boulevard is wide, neat and quiet. Salisbury Park has an artificial waterfall simulating Victoria Falls, which surges down. The central and southern parts of the city are commercial areas, while the northern and eastern parts are high-grade residential areas. The villas here are surrounded by fences made of branches, with private entertainment facilities such as gardens, lawns and swimming pools.

…

Zimbabwe's urban streets are very wide, and the urban speed limit is generally around 80 kilometers. However, it is very safe for pedestrians to cross the road from the zebra crossing. Where there is a red light, the car will definitely stop. No matter where there is no red light, as soon as you cross the road from the zebra crossing, the car will start to slow down far away from you. As long as you hesitate, the driver will wave to you in a friendly way and let you pass first, with a very kind and patient attitude. I have tried this phenomenon in several cities. Some people say this is false, but I tell you, at least in Zimbabwe, it is true.

…

Africa's land is golden, full of enthusiasm and simplicity, which breeds the primitive rhythm of life. The word "Zimbabwe" means "Stone Town" in Bantu. The country was once a rich country in Africa, second only to South Africa. Like South Africa, it has the reputation of being a granary in Africa, with the best golf courses and beautiful natural scenery in the world.

…

Zimbabweans have great respect for women. No matter where you take a bus or rest in the street, as long as the woman comes, the man must get up and sit down, without exception. The most typical example is that on the bus, as long as a woman gets on, men all stand up in a conditioned way, from primary school students to white-haired old people, all of them stand up at once. Once we got on the bus, we had to stand up and sit down many times, and finally we didn't bother to sit down.

…

I've always looked forward to Zimbabwe. Although life on weekdays is colorful, it always looks thin. In my impression, Zimbabwe's land is golden, sunny, full of enthusiasm and simplicity, which seems to be pregnant with the initial rhythm of life. I admire Hemingway, a man who runs on the Yuan Ye in Africa. He chose arrogant exile, just like the lion described in Kilimanjaro's snow.

Victoria Falls is the largest waterfall in Africa and the third largest waterfall in the world. David Livingston, a Scottish missionary and explorer, discovered this waterfall in 1855 and named it after the Queen of England at that time. Locals call the Great Waterfall "Mosio Tunia", which means "water mist with thunder". The main waterfall is about 1.400 m wide, with a maximum drop of 1.50 m and a maximum water flow of 50,000 cubic meters per second. (www.jddxx.com) The most classic is that the whole waterfall is on the prairie, and then there is a crack in the ground, and the waterfall appears. Far away from the waterfall, you can hear the deafening roar and the water mist rising in the air. There is a lot of water vapor in the air, and people seem to walk in the drizzle. Now this waterfall belongs to Zambia and Zimbabwe. In other words, you have to cross two countries to see the whole waterfall.

…

Ninth sentence Victoria, Zimbabwe is spectacular! The wide water surface cracks a crack directly on the mainland, and the waterfall comes! I don't even know how this happened! The plane of the waterfall will hover over the waterfall for a week. Looking down from the porthole, the whole waterfall is unobstructed. According to the tour guide, it was formed by Zambezi River flowing through the rift valley caused by crustal changes, surrounded by lush jungle. Today's weather is very sunny, and the rainbow is reflected in the mist from time to time. When the breeze blows, people walk through the mist and dance with the rainbow. After a while, the fog cleared and bathed in the sun. Standing here, you will once again feel how small human beings are in front of nature, both in time and space.

Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe, is located on the plateau in the northeast of the border. The four seasons here are like spring, the trees are shaded, the flowers are blooming and the scenery is pleasant. It is a famous tourist city in southern Africa, so it has won many beautiful and pleasant names, such as "Gongyuan City", "Sunshine City" and "Evergreen City". In Harare, "spring" can be divided into three seasons: hot season (August to165438+1October), rainy season (165438+1October to March) and cold season (March to August). In the cold season, the tall trees are full of pink and purple flowers. In the early morning, people saw a thin layer of frost on the tree. As the sun rises, the frost slowly melts into crystal dew and shines on the red flowers and green trees.

…

The schools in Zimbabwe are really great, really great. The school has no walls, like a big park. We went to an ordinary school in Harare, which is about equivalent to three of us or one of our universities. I think their library is about the size of one of our provincial libraries. The campus environment is definitely better than any of our parks. There are buses on campus, which stop without charge and never ask passengers' identities. What shocked me most was the student dormitory, which is absolutely equivalent to the level of three-star hotels in China.

…

12 Harare has a fashionable nickname: "Little Paris in Africa". The business district in the south-central part of the city is the heart of Harare. The fashionable shopping center and modern commercial and financial district are hidden in the rich shade, making people stroll along the Champs Elysé es. The tobacco market in Southwest China is the largest. Tobacco merchants from all over the world gather here and sell nearly 2,000 tons of tobacco from here every day.

…

Holiday market is the symbol of Harare. Almost every weekend, local people will find a good place to "practice stalls". They bring their own interesting things to bask in, and they come to the market to play when they have nothing to sell. Handicrafts of various colors are the mainstay of the festival market, and famous wood carvings in Zimbabwe can be found in almost every booth. After dusk, when you get rid of the hot sun in Africa, the enthusiastic African drum will ring at the right time, and the original dance interpretation of African boys will make you dance with them. The rhythm of life will flow freely in the vast world, which will make every listener feel heartache.

14 Zimbabwe is rich in stones, and strange stones formed by weathering abound and can be seen all over the country. On my way to Waterfalls, there are many strange stones on both sides of the road, with different sizes, smooth surfaces and different shapes. Each boulder is naturally piled up, and there are different numbers of irregular stones lying on it. These stones generally weigh several tons, and some even dozens of tons. Their * * * feature is that the bottom support point is very small, which looks like it was blown down by a gust of wind, but it is actually as stable as Mount Tai and still stands after thousands of years of wind and rain. If you look closely, it is natural for lizards of all colors to shuttle between the cracks in the stone.

…

Everyone in Zimbabwe seems to be carrying garbage bags. Anyway, as long as it's not used, it's all packed in garbage bags and thrown into the trash can when it meets. Smoking is not allowed in many places in Zimbabwe. In some shopping malls or public places, there are ashtrays similar to water tanks. Men and women are very concerned about smoking around. The tour guide said that even the mayor of Harare wanted to smoke here because there was no other place to smoke. Everyone is calm and has no complaints.

…

The name of Harare in 16 sentence comes from the local Shawna language, which means "sleepless person". As the capital of Zimbabwe, the largest city in China, with a population of about 2 million, this international city is a city where modern architecture and colonial architecture coexist. Harare has four seasons like spring and pleasant scenery. (www.jddxx.com) Beautiful names such as "City of Sunshine", "City of Flowers and Trees" and "Paris in Africa" are a true portrayal of the whole city. I was lucky enough to come here, stop for four or five days, stroll among them, revel in its fresh style, and my eyes are full of pleasing greenery. Walking in the center of Harare, you are greeted by a street full of large and small flowers. Trees in the Czech Republic can be seen everywhere, and phoenix trees full of flame flowers are all over the city, which is particularly eye-catching like burning torches.

…

There are queues in many places in Zimbabwe. Zimbabweans are used to queuing and are very disciplined. No one cut in line. Everyone waited patiently and consciously, and everyone queued for hours. It's very quiet. Many people are reading books. In Sulu Palace, there are many sculptures that cannot be touched by hands. Some of these sculptures are guarded and some are unattended. I watched them and no one touched them. At that time, there was a sculpture made of pure gold. We thought there was no one, so we reached out and touched it. As soon as we touched it, we heard the whistle (strangely, many places in Zimbabwe like to use it), and we realized that a person was watching us warily with a whistle in his mouth.

19 In Harare, stone carving and wood carving markets can be seen everywhere. Before coming to a market, a dazzling array of works of art has filled the ground. African stone carvings and wood carvings are world-famous, and Zimbabwe's rich stone and forest resources and artists' ingenious craftsmanship make it a representative. The beauty of these finished products lies in tapping the imagination in real life. All forms and characters come from our mysterious religion and ancient folk stories.

In Harare, the charm of modern civilization is everywhere. At every street corner and every door, you can find Harare-style surprises. On the busy street, the well-dressed dark-skinned girl passed you by, with thick lips and hot eyes, all of which made people feel the fiery beauty of Africa.

…

2 1 the citizens of Harare are shuttling through the streets in an orderly way, and all kinds of vehicles are speeding on the roads that are not very congested according to the traditional British rule of "driving right and walking left". Passers-by, no matter men, women and children, say hello or smile when they pass by you. According to local people, Zimbabweans have received British education since childhood, and attach great importance to personal cultivation. Being gentle and polite is the first impression of Zimbabweans in the world.

From July to August every year, the whole city of Harare is covered with flowers. First of all, Yang Fentu showed the blue flower trees in the city. In September, Harare residents even held a week-long "Blue Flower Festival" to celebrate the arrival of spring. During the festival, people hold various celebrations. In the park and under the blue flower tree, people recite poems and perform dances ... before the blue flower is defeated, it is announced that the summer flame flower stands out on the tall buttonwood tree.

The presidential palace in Harare was originally thought to be large, but at first glance it is less than one tenth of the brown South China Sea. It is too small to enter at will, and tourists can take photos at will. No one interferes, but there is an office building that can only cross a street with a red line. As soon as it passed, someone blew a whistle to remind you not to cross the road (but no police came). This street is about six or seven meters wide. I didn't know it was the president's office building until I asked. President Mugabe's office building is on the second floor. Everyone can see the window of his office, which is only fifteen or sixteen meters away from ordinary tourists. At that time, we joked that people with greater strength could probably throw grenades in.

The quality of Zimbabweans is so high that we in China are really ashamed. In Harare, there is no need to take a taxi at all. As long as you wave, a car will stop, get on it and drive away. Some charge money, some don't, and money is very cheap, because Zimbabwe's cities are very big. Many people in Harare take taxis part-time, and the government never cares. Of course, many people really help you for free. Sometimes when you go to a place different from him, he will make a detour for you. There are all kinds of cars, including Lincoln, LADA and Toyota. You can also call a taxi.

Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe meanders for dozens of kilometers. The whole waterfall is divided into five sections by rocks, which are devil waterfall, main waterfall, horseshoe waterfall, rainbow waterfall and east waterfall in turn from west to east. Devil's waterfall is the most magnificent, which makes people afraid to get close; The width of the main waterfall is about180m, the drop is about120m, and the flow is the largest. Horseshoe waterfall, shaped like a horseshoe; Rainbow Waterfall is not only a waterfall like a giant screen, but also can often see seven-color rainbows fluttering in the green valley.

3 1 The Biki Palace in Utabe, Zimbabwe, is beyond imagination. It has been walking non-stop for 12 hours, only about half way. Thousands of white marble and gold-plated sculptures (all plated with pure gold, some of which are real gold) are well preserved. In contrast, the Forbidden City is like a big farm. Really, it used to be said that the Forbidden City is the greatest miracle in the world, compared with others. The age gap between the Forbidden City and the Biki Palace is not far, but people can already build hundreds of fountains that will never repeat, and get rid of their worries and go to unimaginable restaurants. As long as you have been to these two places without prejudice, the gap between civilizations will be clear at a glance.
