Addis Ababa: The African capital with a thousand charms.

Unique urban layout: Addis Ababa has a unique urban layout, with no obvious planning axis, and streets and buildings scattered across the plateau. The city center is a striking contrast of skyscrapers and traditional low-rise houses. Modern commercial buildings and government buildings show the city's development and progress, while colorful traditional houses retain a strong African flavor, with narrow streets bustling with people, full of life and vitality. Fusion of architectural styles: The city's architecture is a fusion of many elements, from ancient Ethiopian traditional architecture, such as the unique octagonal shape of St. George's Cathedral, inspired by the tents of local nomads, reflecting the inheritance of traditional culture; to European architecture influenced by the Italian colonial period, such as some Baroque churches and palaces, which bear witness to that special period of history; in addition, in recent years, with the development of the city, many modern high-rise buildings have emerged, such as the African Union headquarters building, showing Addis Ababa's firm steps towards modernization.
