Twelve Apostles Mountain

Twelve Apostles Mountain

Cape Town is surrounded by the sea on three sides, so bays follow one after another, creating enchanting scenery. The Twelve Apostles Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa, is a particularly beautiful mountain-and-sea landscape. Standing in Maiden’s Bay, the original Table Mountain becomes just one peak, and together with the mountains behind it, they form 12 majestic peaks, perfectly echoing the famous line by the renowned Chinese poet Su Shi: “Viewed horizontally, a range; viewed vertically, a peak.”

Beneath the continuous mountain peaks lies lush greenery, with houses built neatly along the slopes. Several huge, smooth, round rocks jut out from the coastline, where waves crash against the boulders and sandy shores. The indigo-blue sea, snow-white surf, red-roofed houses, deep green trees, emerald-green foliage along the shore, and vibrant grass form an incredibly beautiful landscape painting. The waters of Maiden’s Bay are crystal clear, with foamy white waves lapping against the sand and rocks... It's truly a heavenly scene. In such breathtaking surroundings, it’s impossible not to feel refreshed and uplifted. Many visitors are captivated by this fairy-tale-like scenery, lingering here, reluctant to leave.
