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 taking photographs of gold veins with indication marks. Everyone is in high spirits, because gold is ultimately a joyous substance and loved by everyone. There are also gold smelting performances similar to those in Australia, where the melted gold turns into bricks in a twinkling of an eye. In the visiting area, there is a huge bricks placed there for people to grab. Whoever picks up the bricks with one hand, the bricks belong to who... Of course, no one can pick it up. This is the conclusion after rigorous calculation. No one in the world can pick up this weight of gold. Walking in the gold mine, visiting the gold smelting process, and touching the big bricks with one's own hands... The purpose of this tourism project is to satisfy human's dream of pursuing wealth.
The Golden City of Johannesburg is located in the south of Johannesburg. It is a theme park built on an old gold mine. It is also a famous scenic spot of Johannesburg. The garden vividly reproduces the buildings of Golden City during the gold rush. Driving slowly through the old buildings on the old steam-gushing train, it seems as if it is back to the 18th century. There you can also visit the process of melting and casting gold coins, which is very knowledge-raising.
It was an awesome experience been going there since I was 6 years old.
