Makola Market

Meanwhile chaotic, it is the best place to experience the hustle and bustle in Accra. You can get very cheap goods there and it’s interesting for travelers to see the market.

National Museum of Ghana

苦海无边,望不到岸
The National Museum of Ghana can be divided into three parts: anthropology, archaeology and art. The exhibits are varied. There are archaeological discoveries from ancient times, various Ghanaian paintings, and various exhibits showing cultural history. It is an important treasure house for tourists to understand Ghanaian culture and history, such as the Ghanaian language, chieftain system, food, clothing and handicrafts. If you are an art fanatic, the museum's collection of works by famous Ghanaian contemporary artists such as El Anatsui and Ablade Glover will definitely make you scream with excitement. Of course, you can also spend some time visiting the museum's brilliant sculpture park, which will also benefit you a lot.

Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park & Mausoleum(NAB VOYAGE TOURS)

苦海无边,望不到岸
Nkrumah was the first president of Ghana. He guided Ghana's independence movement and is said to be the father of the African independence movement. A Marxist. In 1958, the African Union Association, consisting of Ghana and Guinea, was established. "Kwame Nkrumah", the father of African independence. As the first country to gain independence during the climax of the African anti-colonial movement in the 1950s, Ghana has a prominent position in the modern history of Africa. Nkrumah is not only the father of Ghana's independence, but also a political representative of the African continent.

Labadi Beach is not only beautiful and has beautiful scenery, but also has luxurious hotels with complete facilities and all the necessary facilities. For travelers who want to capture the charm of Accra, Labadi Beach Hotel is an ideal choice. The famous Labadi Beach is not far away. If you are in the mood, you can also try your hand at the hotel casino. It has to be admitted that this hotel has been favored by many tourists.

Forts and Castles, Volta, Greater Accra, Central and Western Regions

苦海无边,望不到岸
World Cultural Heritage of the Atlantic Slave Trade The cultural heritage left by this period of slave trade by European colonists in Africa can evoke people's memory of history and thus play an educational role for future generations. Because only by remembering history can we forge ahead. Gorée Island, which was listed as the first batch of World Cultural Heritage in 1978, is a bloody witness of the Atlantic slave trade. The following year, the Forts and Castles in Volta, Greater Accra and Central and Western Regions of Ghana were also listed as World Cultural Heritage as witnesses of the Atlantic slave trade. Ghana's slave castles are distributed along the coast of the Gulf of Guinea, forming a unique string of buildings from east to west. The full name is Forts and Castles, Volta, Greater Accra, Central and Western Regions. In 1979, the World Heritage Committee (WHC) considered that it met the sixth criterion for the application for World Heritage and registered it as a World Cultural Heritage. Ghana's slave castles are directly linked to the Atlantic slave trade, a major historical event. They are an important symbol of the encounter between Europe and Africa and the starting point of African overseas immigration. In the process of contact and communication between Europe and Africa, these buildings (materials) were first used for the gold and ivory trade, and then for the slave trade, shaping not only African history, but also world history.

The independent arches in Accra, Ghana's capital, stand black five-pointed stars like the Arc de Triomphe. The independent arches in Accra, Ghana, stand at sunset. Inscribed "Freedom and Justice, 1957 AD" commemorates Ghana's independence, the first independence of sub-Saharan Africa.
