The port o
The port of Louis in the north is Mauritius's largest city and seaport, and of course the political, economic, cultural and transportation center of Mauritius. We first arrived at the commanding heights of Port Louis, the William Fort, which is on a hill facing the port. Although the terrain is not high, it is just the most important position. Standing on the fort, you can overlook the panoramic view of Port Louis. According to local people, Louisville is basically divided into Chinatown and Indian-inhabited areas where Chinese people live. The number of local Chinese is still quite large.
From the fort down into the main city of Port Louis, the area of the whole city is not very large, diversification is the theme of the city - the old Chinese lady who is carrying a basket of food, is repairing a car The old man of India, a short-skinned black babes and European and American backpackers carrying big bags are all here, and the architectural style is also diverse. Modern buildings with a small number of glass walls and long-standing colonial eras exist. The old European architecture, a sense of "mix and match".
We are wandering around the port in the central market that was said to have been built in 1844. This old market is similar to the domestic food market, crowded and lively, with various stalls along the street, selling daily necessities. And the sale of fresh shrimp and vegetables are all together, as well as some local products, fruits, handicrafts, etc., it is a very grounded place.
