Palace of the Lost City, one of the largest themed hotels in the world, is found in South Africa. It is a luxury holiday resort near the Sun City casino and resort in the North West Province of South Africa. Inspired by the myth of a lost African kingdom, The Palace of the Lost City is set on the highest ground at Sun City, ensuring that its grand proportions and graceful towers are visible from across the resort. The fantasy of an African palace is indulged in every detail, from the stately volumes of the reception and dining areas to the mosaics, frescoes and fountains that enhance the architecture.

南非有世界上最大的主题酒店之一:失落之城皇宫酒店。这是一个豪华的度假胜地,位于南非西北省太阳城赌场和度假村附近。失落之城皇宫酒店的设计灵感来自于失落的非洲王国的神话,它坐落于太阳 城的最高点,以确保从整个度假胜地都能看到它宏伟的建筑和优美的塔楼。从庄严的接待区和用餐区到镶嵌图案、壁画和喷泉,非洲宫殿的奇妙设计存在于每一个细节中,增强了建筑的美感。

Between May and July every year millions of small silver fish travel in vast shoals from the cold waters off South Africa's Cape Point up to the coastlines of the northern Eastern Cape and southern KwaZulu-Natal. This annual event is called the Sardine Run. The shoals are so big – 15km long, 3.5km wide and up to 40m deep – they can be seen by satellite. In their wake come hundreds of birds, sharks, whales, dolphins, all eager to hunt these fish.

每年5月至7月,数百万小银鱼成群结队地从南非开普角附近的寒冷水域游至东开普省北部和纳塔尔夸祖卢南部沿海地带。这一年度活动被称为沙丁鱼赛跑。这些鱼群非常大,长15公里,宽3.5公里,深达40米,而且通过卫星可以观察到。而之后数以百计的鸟类、鲨鱼、鲸鱼、海豚都急切地想要捉到这些鱼。
