201時尚四人房—好望角 (Cape of Good Hope)

201時尚四人房—好望角 (Cape of Good Hope)

好望角是非洲區隔大西洋及印度洋的最南角…錯!區隔大西洋及印度洋的最南角其實是厄加勒斯角(Cape Agulhas),也是個很美的海彎,但今天主角不是她。就是科普一下 ^__^

好望角做為開普敦最熱門景點之一,她的地位是什麼呢?

好望角的前身是暴風角(Cape of Storms)。因為附近海域洋流的不穩定性且常有風暴伴隨,讓早在14世紀末的航海家們吃盡苦頭。但當葡萄牙航海家突破困難,超越這片海域後,開啟了連接東方各國貿易的可能性,而後改名「好望」角。好望角在地理上,是桌山山脈的末端。
在往東2.3公里處,是開普角(Cape Point)…這裡是人們通常會誤會成好望角的地方,包括我自己 >_<。在開普角,設有一座燈塔(現已停用)。在燈塔上眺望大洋,那是非常難得的美景。光是站在那裡,呼吸著零汙染的空氣,看著沒有盡頭的廣大海域,那是比心曠神怡還要心曠神怡啊!
在開普角下方,還有條小路…這算是秘境吧,我也是幾年後才知道可以下去走的,那裡也是拍照取景不能錯過的好點哦。

關於暴風角,還有個被葡萄牙詩人所附予的神話傳說,關於一位被貶的神祉「阿達馬斯托(Adamastor)」如何盤據在暴風角的故事。為現今的好望角披上一層神秘面紗。若有去到現場,一定要讓在地人為你解說一下。

Before the name of Cape of Good Hope, she is called Cape of Storms. The explorer from the end of the 14th century has encountered obstacles, due to the unstable and dangerous current, and on top of that, she is often surrounded by the storm as well. However, one of the Portugal explorer (Bartolomeu Dias) has overcome the challenge and passed this area and opened up the possible trade linkage to the countries to the Far East, so then she is called the Cape of “Good Hope”.
Geographically, she is at the very end of Table Mountain range.
There is a legend about how a God, Adamastor, been banished and occupied at Cape of Storms ever since and he was described as a phantom who threatened the sailors who try to pass the area.
