Efumaneka emngceleni wee-counti ze-Antrim kunye ne-Down kwiphondo lase- Ulster , eBelfast useNtloko yaseBelfast Lough kummandla osenyakatho-mpuma we-Ireland. Inani lalo liphakathi kwama-330,000 (iSixeko kuphela, ummandla weedolophu uqikelelwa kubahlali abangama-600,000).
Imbali kaBelfast
I-Belfast yayingaphezulu kweqonga lokulwela iLagan kude kube ngu-1603, xa uSirthur Chichester efumana umhlaba kwaye wakha idolophu eneenkqantosi kwiindawo ezisemgangathweni. Ngethuba lesibini kwisiqingatha se-18, uBelfast wabuyiselwa kwaye waba "iAthens yaseNyakatho", ngokukhawuleza ishintshela kwisixeko soshishino kunye neelinen kunye nokwakhiwa kwemikhumbi njengezinto ezilawulayo.
Xa iBelfast yaba ngumzi ngo-1888, abantu basebekhulile ngama-400% kwiminyaka engamashumi amahlanu, abaninzi abantu abahlala kwimimandla ebomvu-brick kunye nokusebenza kwiifekthi okanye kwii-shipyards. Ngasekupheleni kwekhulu le-19 leminyaka kwabona ukukhula kobugcisa bobuhlali kunye nokuphumelela kwezesayensi. Ukuqaliswa kweTitanic ngo-1911 kubonise i-zenith yale phuhliso.
Ukuba ngumzi olwahlukileyo ngokubanzi kunye noluntu kwezopolitiko (abahlali bamaKatolika babehlala behlwempuzeke kakhulu), i-Belfast yenziwe yinkunzi yaseNorthern Ireland ngo-1921, ibanjwe yixinzelelo kwiminyaka ye-1930 kwaye "yahluthwa" ngamajoni aseJamani 1940.
Emva kweMfazwe yeSizwe yeBili Belfast ayizange ibuye ibuye iqale "iingxaki" ngowe-1969 yenza loo mzi ufanane nokuxhatshazwa kwabantu kunye nokukhukula. Phakathi kowe-1971 no-1991 isisigxina esipheleleyo sabantu basabela kuloo mzi! Kuphela ngokupheliswa kobundlobongela phakathi kwee-1990 kunye naphantsi kwengqiqo yesiVumelwano esiLwesihlanu esilungileyo (1998), uBelfast waqala ukubuyisela.
Belfast Modern
Ukuqhubela eBelfast azinakunceda kodwa uqaphele iimpawu zexesha elidlulileyo. Izitishi zamapolisa, "iintambo zoxolo" (iindonga eziphezulu ezahlula amaProtestanti kunye namaKatolika) kwaye ngamanye amaxesha zixhaphaza izikhumbuzo ezikhunjulwayo.
Kodwa isivakashi siya kumangaliswa yinto eqhelekileyo edibeneyo kwiziko leedolophu. Apho izikhwama zikhangela ngesandla ziphandwe kwiindawo ezilawulayo ezinqabileyo kuphela kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo, abathengi bahamba kunye nabathengisi bezitrato bezinye iinkonzo badumisa izinto zabo.
Abangaphandle-amabanjwa banikela iindwendwe ezikhokelwayo kwiindawo zokuhlala zeRiphabliki, iindawo zokuthengisa izikhumbuzo ngezikhathi ezithile zithengisa i-regilitary regalia kunye neenqwelo zamapolisa akusayi kubakho izixhobo. Nangona ukuxhatshazwa kwamacandelo ngokukhawuleza kuqhutyelwa kumadlelo, isixeko sendawo ngokwawo siyafana nakwezinye izixeko zaseBrithani. Ngomgca we-Irishness ophonswe kuwo.
EBelfast kwiTwendwe
I-Belfast idolophu ekhoyo namhlanje ihamba ngobomi obubusuku, iindawo ezithengileyo kunye nezinye izinto ezinomdla. Ukukhenketho kusekuphuhliswa kwaye izikhenketho azizininzi okanye zicacile njengoko zihlala eDublin. Ukuhamba ngeBelfast kunokungabikho nto emotweni kunye nangonyawo, ngeendlela enye-iinkqubo ngokucacileyo zenzelwe ngumbutho onogwaja enengqondweni kunye nemizila engagqithwanga ngumongo kodwa "ngeendlela zokuthula".
Kwaye ungalindela ukuzifumana kwindawo ebonakalayo yecawa ejikelezayo kwikota elandelayo.
Xa uthethile, iBelfast kufuneka ithathelwe ingqalelo "ngokukhuselekileyo" kwindwendwe. Ngaphandle kokuba ubonisa izivakalisi ezikhubekisayo okanye iimpawu (umz. I-t-shirts ezihlobene ne-IRA zifumaneka ngokukhululekile, kodwa ukugqoka kuzo zibuza ingxaki).
UBelfast akanalo "ixesha" ngaleyo ndlela. Uxinzelelo lwe-Sectarian luya kwanda malunga ne-12 kaJulayi kunye nemibhiyozo yokukhumbula i- Battle of the Boyne .
Iindawo zokuya kuTyelela
IHolo yeSixeko, i-Grand Opera House, i-Crown Liquor Saloon, i-Botanic Gardens kunye ne-Ulster Museum kufuneka ibone.

Ngaphandle kweendawo zePot kunye neShekill Road, i-republican kunye ne-loyalist inqaba ngokulandelanayo, akufanele ithathwa ngokuthi "imingcele" . Ngakolunye uhlangothi, phantse yonke inxaxheba yabantu abancinci abasebenzisana nabo bangaphinda babhekise ingxaki kwaye bafanele bajongwe njengesilumkiso.
