Table Mountain is a landmark in Cape Town, with a flat top resembling a table. It stands at an altitude of 1086 meters. Lion's Head and Signal Hill are on the right, and Devil's Peak is on the left. During the summer season (October to March), a large amount of moisture rises to the top of the mountain and forms clouds under the influence of cold air, creating a fairytale-like atmosphere. Local people often say that God has laid out a "tablecloth" for dining. Since 1929, a 1220-meter cableway has been in operation, allowing tourists to reach the mountaintop. Now, visitors can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view from the cable car.

Oudtshoorn is famous for its ostrich farming industry. Ostriches are not only the largest birds in the world, but also highly valuable poultry in terms of economic value. Their skin, feathers, meat, and eggs are developed into expensive products. As early as the 19th century, Oudtshoorn's ostrich farms began breeding ostriches and exporting ostrich feathers to Europe for use as decorations on hats and clothing for the upper class. The farm owners became wealthy as a result, and their luxurious residences were called "Feather Palaces". Nowadays, the Oudtshoorn ostrich farm is one of the most popular tourist attractions in South Africa. Visitors can not only witness the spectacular sight of thousands of ostriches gathering here, but also learn various related knowledge about ostriches in exhibition rooms, enjoy ostrich feasts, and purchase exquisite ostrich crafts.
