At the same time, there are many Africans with curly hair and dark skin on the street. The morning and night of the Antananarivo mountain city are very tempting. Whenever the morning light shines, the valley is filled with vast white fog, starting with curling smoke, and then covering the entire mountain city.

Ambushimanga Ambushimanga is an ancient city of Madagascar, located 20 kilometers north of the capital Tananafo. It is a densely wooded mountain villa called the "Blue Hill." Because it has a royal palace and a royal tomb, it is also called the "Holy City".

The royal palace is located on the hill. The only oldest and relatively complete royal palace in existence was the residence of King Andrianam Poinimelina when he was in power from 1788 to 1810. The royal palace is a wooden structure built on a stone foundation, about 7 meters long and 6 meters wide. The roof is supported by a 10-meter-long yellow sandalwood. Double-layer yellow sandalwood boards serve as the walls, each board is 40 to 45 cm wide, 7 cm thick, making a total of more than 110 wooden boards. Judging from the traces of the foundation, the house was originally divided into five rooms, and now there are two wooden beds inside. One is a high-legged wooden bed that has to be climbed up a ladder and is used by the king; the other wooden bed is used by empresses and concubines.

The "Holy City" has a steep terrain and strong defense. The perimeter of the city protection ditch is 2500 meters. The wall has seven passes. Each pass has a stone structure gate. The one that is relatively intact is the Ambatu Misangana Gate in the east. A lookout pavilion with a round grass roof and red walls is built at the upper end of the gate; the gate is a single round stone board with a diameter of 4.5 meters and a thickness of 0.3 meters. It opens in the morning and closes at night, and dozens of people have to push it every time it opens and closes.

Mahazzanga has flat terrain and is at the end of the tropical savanna. It enjoys the sea breeze of the Mozambique Channel all year round. It has been known as the "City of Flowers" since ancient times. The city of Mahajanga is clean and well-laid out. A huge baobab tree (more than 20 meters in diameter) that is more than 700 years old at the end of the city's central avenue has become a pride and symbol of the city.

The park is full of solid, drought-resistant, sharp and steep stone forests, which are all strange and strange, making it the most spectacular rock structure wonder in the world.

The word "Tsingy" in Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park refers to the stone structure in the area, which means "you can't pass barefoot here." The tall and straight Qingbei Peak, Sharp Rock Forest, the magnificent Manambulu River Valley, rolling mountains and towering peaks are arranged neatly and densely as planned. Viewed from the sky, it looks like a lush urban block landscape., spectacular and magical. Bemaraha National Park is rugged and very few people can actually reach it, but it is a kingdom of many rare animals and plants; because the top of these lime towers in the park is exposed and dry, and the bottom collects rainwater and soil, providing rare plants. It provides nutrients; at the same time, due to the fragile and fire-proof characteristics of the stone forest, it has become a natural refuge for many rare animals and birds.

Tsingy de Bemaraha Nature Reserve The Tsingy de Bemaraha Nature Reserve consists of karst landforms and limestone hills, with magnificent scenery. The reserve not only has tall and straight Qingbei Peak, Sharp Rock Forest, the magnificent Manambulu River Valley, rolling mountains and towering peaks, but also has undamaged forests, lakes, mangroves, and swamps. It provides the best living environment for rare animals lemurs and various birds.

The vegetation in the Tsingy de Bemaraha Nature Reserve is typical of the karst vegetation type of western Madagascar, with dry and dense deciduous forests and extensive man-made savannas everywhere. Although some research has been carried out, the understanding of the flora is still very limited, and many species are endemic here, including ebony, wild bananas, baobabs, xerophytic aloe vera growing in rocky areas, etc. Well-known plant families include Hyundaceae, Orchidaceae, Legumentum, Euphorbiaceae, Moraceae, etc.

There are also some endangered special protected animals in the reserve. Other famous animals include goshaws, lemurs and other species.

Achin Ana Rainforest The Achin Ana Rainforest is composed of six national parks distributed in the eastern part of the island. These surviving rainforests are particularly important for the continuous development of the ecological process, which is the lifeblood of biodiversity that reflects the geological development history of Madagascar.

60 million years ago, Madagascar was completely separated from the mainland, and the animals and plants here completed the evolution process in isolation. The Achin Anana rainforest was selected on the List not only because of its importance to ecology and biological processes, but also because of the biodiversity and endangered species in the rainforest. The proportion of endemic species in rainforests is very high, accounting for 80% to 90% of all populations.

The Achin Ana rainforest is of particular importance to animal populations, especially primates. There are many rare and endangered species living here. Among all 123 species of land mammals in Madagascar, 78 live in this rainforest, including 72 species listed on the Red List of Endangered Species by the World Union for Conservation of Nature, including at least 25 species of lemurs.
