Table Mountain provides a majestic backdrop for the city of Cape Town
It is one of the world’s remarkable natural wonders and a famous symbol of South Africa
To the east of the Table Mountain range is Devil’s Peak, to the west are Lion’s Head and Signal Hill, and to the southwest is Karbonkelberg
It is composed of two flat-topped plateaus overlooking the city of Cape Town from the east and west, the eastern ridge surrounding the southern suburbs of Cape Town and its forest-covered valleys, and the Twelve Apostles on the western side guarding the Atlantic coast
The flat top of Table Mountain stretches for three kilometers from east to west
Its highest point, at an altitude of 1086 meters, is Maclear’s Beacon
This lighthouse was erected by Sir Thomas Maclear, an astronomer, in 1843 as part of an experiment to measure the circumference of the earth
The western end of the narrow plateau supports the upper cable car station, which was completed in 1929
In May 1998, Table Mountain National Park was declared
Most of the undisturbed areas of Table Mountain and the peninsula are managed by South African National Parks
Table Mountain National Park is the only national park in South Africa located in a bustling metropolis
Opening hours: The specific business status is subject to the opening situation on the day
Must-see tips: The cable car to the mountain will be closed when the weather is bad or the wind on the top of the mountain is too strong
