![<br />I choose Johannesburg as a location for the assignment. So here is some introduction about the Johannesburg , South Africa.<br />Johannesburg attractions range from both cultural and historic exhibitions to fun family outings and interesting displays of local innovation and productivity. With good weather throughout most of the year, sightseeing in Johannesburg is always a rewarding adventure.The first stop on any list of Johannesburg attractions should be the Apartheid Museum, which showcases South Africa's history of black oppression and illustrates how far the nation has come in its move towards democracy. Visit the Cradle of Humankind, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which features the Sterkfontein Caves where the ancient fossil of Mrs. Ples was found in 1947.On a lighter note, a fantastic Johannesburg attraction is Gold Reef City, a 'gold-rush' fashioned theme park full of exciting thrill rides. While sightseeing in Johannesburg visitors can tour the SAB World of Beer, or take a scenic hike through the Walter Sisulu National Botanical Gardens. Newtown Cultural Precinct's Market Theatre and Museum Africa are also Johannesburg attractions worth seeing.<br /> Transportation<br />1.

Köppen Cwb). The city enjoys a dry, sunny climate with late afternoon thundershowers in the summer months of October to April. Temperatures in Johannesburg are usually fairly mild due to the city's high altitude, with the average maximum daytime temperature in January of 25.6 °C (78.1 °F), dropping to an average maximum of around 16 °C (61 °F) in June. Winter is the sunniest time of the year, with mild days and cool nights, dropping to 4.1 °C (39.4 °F) in June and July. The temperature occasionally drops to below freezing at night, causing frost. Snow is a rare occurrence, with snowfall having been experienced in May 1956, August 1962, June 1964, September 1981 and August 2006 (light). Snow fell again on 27 June 2007, accumulating up to 10 centimetres (3.9 in) in the southern suburbs. Regular cold fronts pass over in winter bringing very cold southerly winds but usually clear skies. The annual average rainfall is 713 millimetres (28.1 in), which is mostly concentrated in the summer months. Infrequent showers occur through the course of the winter months.<br />Despite the relatively dry climate, Johannesburg has over ten million trees, and it is now the biggest man-made forest in the world, followed by HYPERLINK \"

So firstly I tell u few things regarding Johannesburg.<br />A city of astonishing contrasts, a huge metropolis where opulent wealth and desperate poverty live side by side: Johannesburg is the intriguing, dynamic heart of this turbulent country. If you want to see the real South Africa - and try to understand it - Jo'burg has to be on your itinerary.<br />Jo'burg, Jozi, eGoli or 'the city of gold' (never Johannesburg) is by far the largest city in South Africa. It's brash, fast-growing and often ugly, but it has got wealth, energy and a beautiful climate. If you take reasonable precautions and listen to the locals, you can enjoy it in safety.<br />1.

So here is some introduction about the Johannesburg , South Africa.<br />Johannesburg attractions range from both cultural and historic exhibitions to fun family outings and interesting displays of local innovation and productivity. With good weather throughout most of the year, sightseeing in Johannesburg is always a rewarding adventure.The first stop on any list of Johannesburg attractions should be the Apartheid Museum, which showcases South Africa's history of black oppression and illustrates how far the nation has come in its move towards democracy. Visit the Cradle of Humankind, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which features the Sterkfontein Caves where the ancient fossil of Mrs. Ples was found in 1947.On a lighter note, a fantastic Johannesburg attraction is Gold Reef City, a 'gold-rush' fashioned theme park full of exciting thrill rides. While sightseeing in Johannesburg visitors can tour the SAB World of Beer, or take a scenic hike through the Walter Sisulu National Botanical Gardens. Newtown Cultural Precinct's Market Theatre and Museum Africa are also Johannesburg attractions worth seeing.<br /> Transportation<br />1.

The city enjoys a dry, sunny climate with late afternoon thundershowers in the summer months of October to April. Temperatures in Johannesburg are usually fairly mild due to the city's high altitude, with the average maximum daytime temperature in January of 25.6 °C (78.1 °F), dropping to an average maximum of around 16 °C (61 °F) in June. Winter is the sunniest time of the year, with mild days and cool nights, dropping to 4.1 °C (39.4 °F) in June and July. The temperature occasionally drops to below freezing at night, causing frost. Snow is a rare occurrence, with snowfall having been experienced in May 1956, August 1962, June 1964, September 1981 and August 2006 (light). Snow fell again on 27 June 2007, accumulating up to 10 centimetres (3.9 in) in the southern suburbs. Regular cold fronts pass over in winter bringing very cold southerly winds but usually clear skies. The annual average rainfall is 713 millimetres (28.1 in), which is mostly concentrated in the summer months. Infrequent showers occur through the course of the winter months.<br />Despite the relatively dry climate, Johannesburg has over ten million trees, and it is now the biggest man-made forest in the world, followed by HYPERLINK \" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graskop\" \o \" Graskop\" Graskop in Mpumalanga which is the second biggest. Many trees were originally planted in the northern areas of the city at the end of the 19th century, to provide wood for the mining industry. The areas were developed by the HYPERLINK \" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randlord\" \o \" Randlord\" Randlord, Hermann Eckstein, a German immigrant, who called the forest estates Sachsenwald. The name was changed to HYPERLINK \" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saxonwold\" \o \" Saxonwold\" Saxonwold, now the name of a suburb, duringWorld War I. Early (white) residents who moved into the areas Parkhurst, Parktown, Parkview, Westcliff, Saxonwold, Houghton Estate, Illovo, Hyde Park, Dunkeld, Melrose, Inanda, Sandhurst, now collectively referred to as the Northern Suburbs, retained many of the original trees and have even expanded their forests with the encouragement of successive city councils. In recent years however, deforestation has occurred to make way for both residential and commercial redevelopment.<br />| Landmarks<br /> <br />Joburg's first trees <br />One hundred and seventeen years ago Johannesburg was a dusty, rocky, barren veld. Nowadays it's a man-made urban forest with six million trees. How did this happen?<br />Jozi's urban forest now at 10m trees, and growing<br />Market square<br /> Today's government precinct, owned by Gauteng province, was once the town's market square and produce market, and the bustling centre of Johannesburg. Its legacy lives on in City Deep<br />Joburg's castles<br /> Johannesburg can boast four \" castles\" around the city and suburbs, the oldest being almost as old as the city itself, at 105 years old, and the newest 11 years old.<br />Guildhall Pub<br /> The Guildhall Pub has sat for 115 years on the edge of Johannesburg's original market square, now the Library Gardens.<br />Rand Club<br /> The Rand Club in Loveday Street, one of the city's oldest and loveliest buildings, is still largely a place where men hang out, enjoying one another's company almost exclusively<br />Regina Mundi<br /> Soweto's largest Catholic Church played a pivotal role in the township's history of resistance against apartheid. Now the church opens its doors to streams of visitors keen to witness the scars it still bears<br />Joburg's oldest buildings<br /> The town of Johannesburg was born in 1886, after gold was discovered on the farm Langlaagte. The town grew rapidly, and many of the early buildings were torn down and replaced. But some of those buildings and farmhouses remain, a monument to the city's pioneers and farmers.<br />Somerset House<br /> There're dozens of old buildings around the CBD. One of them, Somerset House, although a little neglected, is still functioning, and signs of its former splendour, including its basement, are still visible.<br />Hillbrow Tower: Joburg's own Table Mountain<br /> Portrait of the most prominent landmark in Johannesburg, the Hillbrow Tower, built for just R2-million.<br />Ponte: rent the best view in town<br />One of Joburg's most visible landmarks, Ponte, has made a comeback after years of notoriety.

The Koppie has tremendous historical significance in a suburb that is actively combating crime.<br />Brenthurst, Joburg's breathtaking secret garden<br /> In the heart of Parktown is a spectacular garden of 45 acres, employing 45 gardeners, one gardener for every acre. The gardens are part of the Brenthurst estate, belonging to the Oppenheimers, and are a model of organic gardening.<br />Carlton Hotel<br /> Joburg's Carlton Hotel - an icon of the high life for years - fell on hard times and was closed in 1997.<br />Newtown Cultural Precinct<br />This complex of buildings in the city centre has been upgraded and restored as part of the city fathers' urban renewal policy and provides several attractions. The Market Theatre and Museum Africa, for instance are housed in a Victorian building in Bree Street.<br />SAB World of Beer<br />SABMiller started in South Africa and has expanded to become one of the world's largest brewers of beer. The World of Beer offers a fun short tour, which summarises the history of the company, beer in general and details the brewing process.<br />Walter Sisulu National Botanical Gardens<br />Not known for being an especially green city, this oasis in the west side of Johannesburg covers 741 acres (300ha), offering lush gardens and scenic hiking trails. The gardens are a terrific place for bird watching (over 200 species) <br />Melville<br />This trendy suburb is a hive of activity on any given night of the week; it is the place to go out and carouse. Anything from hip and upmarket to just plain odd coffee shops, bars and dance venues throng the streets.<br />The Apartheid Museum<br />South Africa's history of black oppression is chronicled in this building, situated near Gold Reef City. Relics of the Apartheid system, which banned non-whites from certain areas and from receiving an education, as well as forbidding interracial relationships, can be found here,<br />Constitution Hill<br />A guided tour of the National Heritage Site of Constitution Hill takes visitors on a journey through South Africa's turbulent past, but also illustrates its incredible transition into democracy.

The adjoining Museum Africa showcases the lives and cultures of the South African.<br />Johannesburg Art Gallery<br />Visit the Johannesburg Art Gallery in Joubert Park to see a vast collection of works by a host of famous artists, both local and international.

So firstly I tell u few things regarding Johannesburg.<br />A city of astonishing contrasts, a huge metropolis where opulent wealth and desperate poverty live side by side: Johannesburg is the intriguing, dynamic heart of this turbulent country. If you want to see the real South Africa - and try to understand it - Jo'burg has to be on your itinerary.<br />Jo'burg, Jozi, eGoli or 'the city of gold' (never Johannesburg) is by far the largest city in South Africa.
