Malawi, a landlocked country in southeastern Africa, has no coastline, but sits on the third largest lake in Africa, Lake Malawi, and most of its cities are closely linked to the lake and the highland terrain. The capital, Lilongwe, is located in the center of the country and is the political and economic heart of the country, known for its quiet urban atmosphere and emerging industrial system. Blantyre, the largest city, borders the southern end of Lake Malawi and serves as a commercial hub with a busy harbor and a diverse mix of cultures, and is a gateway for exploring the lake's landscapes. The southern city of Zomba, known for its colonial architecture and surrounding nature reserve, is the starting point for the Livingstone National Park. Each city retains the simplicity of Malawi's folklore, which is mirrored in the natural landscape, revealing the unique charm of this "warm heart".
