Gold Reef City Theme Park Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Located on an old gold mine in Johannesburg, the City of Gold Mines is the largest theme amusement park and leisure entertainment center in Johannesburg. The city of gold mines is themed around the Witwatersrand Gold Rush. The employees in the theme park are dressed in the costumes of gold diggers from the 1880s, and the design of the park is also imitating the style of that era. There are many free-range peacocks strolling leisurely in the park, passing by from time to time. The theme park is surrounded by hotels, entertainment venues, restaurants, children's museums, 4D cinemas, and a journey into a gold mine. The mines of the Golden City were dug to a depth of 3,200 meters underground, and now tourists can go down to 220 meters underground to see the actual operation of gold mining at that time. Also see the actual melting of gold and the process of casting gold coins.

South Africa was once the world's largest gold mining region, and therefore attracted many gold diggers around the world. The gold mining city has witnessed the rise and fall of South Africa's gold industry, but it has become a tourist area and is quite beautiful.
South Africa's development is also due to the development of gold, the number of gold mines in this city is also quite large, many gold facilities are also very beautiful, the huge mining area of the gold mine is also a very timely area.
My evaluation essay is here, I will evaluate it immediately after the experience, I highly recommend everyone to come.
We are in the gold veins of the gold mine with indications, and everyone is in good spirits because gold is ultimately a festive substance and loved. There are also gold smelting shows in the mine similar to Australia's, and the melted gold becomes a brick in a blink of an eye. In the visiting area, there was a huge tile placed there for people to grab, who took the tile with one hand, and who owned the tile... Of course, no one could take it up, which was the conclusion after strict calculation, this weight of gold, No one in the world is likely to pick it up...walking in the gold mines, visiting the gold smelting process, and touching the big bricks...The purpose of this tourism project is to satisfy the dream of human pursuit of wealth.
Johannesburg's Golden City is a theme park built on the old gold mine and a famous attraction in Joburg, which realistically recreates the buildings of the gold city during the gold rush. Take the old train sprayed with steam, slowly marching through the ancient complex, as if back to the 18th century. There you can also visit the process of yellow financial solution and casting gold coins, which is very knowledgeable.
It was an awesome experience been going there since I was 6 years old.
