Scenic spot introduction:

Ouidah is the location of Africa's famous "Slave Coast", which is known as one of the three famous "Slave Coasts" in West Africa along with the "Ivory Coast" of Cote d'Ivoire and the "Gold Coast" of Ghana. The "Slave Route" in Ouidah is 4 kilometers long, starting from the History Museum of Ouidah and ending at the famous " Door of No Return ” (Point of No Return). This is a red gravel road, the last stretch of road that black slaves took in Africa before being transported to plantations in America. For centuries, tens of millions of black slaves were continuously transported to America from here, making it the “point of no return” for these suffering black slaves.
