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.
I came to this check-in place alone, it is worth seeing! The colorful houses witnessed history! I also saw many paintings of residents in the Gaza Strip, which shows the feelings of local Muslims for their distant relatives! The hotel I stayed in was not far from here, so I couldn't come back! I encountered several scammers asking for passes along the way, everyone be careful!
The Malay area is mainly inhabited by Malaysians. There are many Malaysian-style restaurants here. Walking here, it feels like being in Kuala Lumpur. The customs and habits of the Malays are still preserved.
The Malay District in Cape Town was inhabited by the Malays who came here to pan for gold about 300 years ago. Now it has become an independent administrative district, where the descendants of the Malays live. The houses here are very distinctive, with colorful exterior walls, which look very beautiful, like a house made of tangram pieces, very interesting.
South Africa's urban areas are rarely allowed to get off and take photos freely. It is said to be the place where the Malays used to live. In the past, because low status does not have a door number, so the use of color to brush house distinction. - To be honest, it's really beautiful. I don't understand why people can go down here without fear of robbery. I went down and saw that the windows of the nearby residents were nailed up with white boards. It's really like the scene of "I'm a legend". Night falls and Zombies come. But this place is really worth taking the opportunity to see - "
Cape town MaLai District colourful house Cape Town slaves are mainly Malays, Indians, and other Southeast Asian colored races, cheap work, strong resistance, maintain the tradition, extrajudicial land, just look at it.
