When people think of Africa, they often think of the endless yellow, but in the "Rainbow Country" South Africa, the reporter experienced another colorful scene, especially the colorful houses, which make people feel like Be in a fairy tale world.

The colors of the houses are almost the same

In the port city of Cape Town, South Africa, there is such a house. It is not an exaggeration to describe it with words like "colorful" and "colorful" . The colors of the houses here are very bright, and the colors are bold, either bright red, emerald green, deep purple, or beige, sea blue, bright orange... The contrast is very sharp, and there is almost no repetition of colors. Looking around, the entire community is colorful and covered with green vegetation, making it feel like entering the fairy tale world written by Andersen. This is a Malay settlement built on the slopes of Signal Peak. Foreign tourists come here to visit South Africa.

Color instead of house number

Why should the house be decorated with such "warm" colors? A local Yuan friend told reporters that in the early days of apartheid in South Africa, except for white residential areas, other residential areas were not allowed to have house numbers. The smart Malays painted the houses with different colors. The color makes it easy to distinguish and other friends can easily find it. Later, the apartheid system was abolished and house numbers were given here, but the colorful houses have been passed down.

Local people often jokingly say to their friends: If you want to send me a letter, it doesn’t matter if you forget your *** address. You can first go to a paint store to look up the name of the color, and then write it.
