Travel to South Africa with a group and check in at the Malay Quarter in Cape Town. The history of the Malay Quarter is as colorful as its houses. In the 17th and 18th centuries, slaves brought by the Dutch from Malaysia, Indonesia and Sri Lanka lived here. During the apartheid period, the South African government tried to expropriate the land at a high price, but in order to defend their place in Cape Town, the Malay villagers collectively resisted the demolition, gave up the high expropriation compensation, and saved their homes. The government demolished the houses but failed, but it did not recognize the legality of their houses. Therefore, the Malay houses on this land have never been given legal house numbers. The smart Malays creatively painted their houses in various bright colors to distinguish their house numbers, and renewed them once a year to keep them bright and beautiful. Over time, tourists from all over the world have regarded this as a sightseeing tour of Cape Town, and it has become a colorful shooting base.
