China News Service, Johannesburg, May 9 (Reporter Wang Xi) On the evening of May 8, local time in South Africa, the results of the ranking of the world's greatest cities sponsored by the British "Daily Telegraph" were released.
Cape Town, the South African city, as the only African city successfully entered the top 50 list and ranked third.
The Spanish city of Barcelona topped the list, followed closely by the Australian city of Sydney.
It is a little surprising that Cape Town, a South African city, ranks third on the list, and Cape Town is also the only African city in the top 50 of the list.
For the selection of Cape Town, the reason given by the selection committee is: as a world-renowned tourist city, Cape Town, the second largest city in South Africa and the legislative capital, attracts the world's attention with its unique landform features and geographical location, especially Cape Town. The Cape of Good Hope, as the meeting point of the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean, is talked about by the world.
However, the selection committee also pointed out that the current security problems in Cape Town are not optimistic, and vicious security incidents such as robbery and shooting have emerged one after another, casting a shadow over the overall urban environment.
In addition, the top 50 in this list also include world-renowned cities such as Los Angeles, Tokyo, London, Paris, Buenos Aires, New Delhi, Rio de Janeiro, and three Chinese cities, Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong. .
