Section 1427 Darkness
Take the high-speed elevator and within a minute, you can quickly reach the observation deck of more than 360 meters high. You can view the entire Toronto city and Lake Ontario from afar. (tips: official ticket purchase address: discount tickets for elderly people over the age of 4-12 and children aged 4.00. In addition, you can book a tourist restaurant on the tower, so you don’t have to buy tourist tickets separately.
The restaurant reservation website is as follows: The observation deck on the 3536 Tower overlooks the city of Toronto and Lake Ontario. 37 After viewing the tower, take a picture of the view around the tower. The picture below is the aquarium next to the tower. 38rogeentre is also one of the famous buildings in Toronto. It is a multi-purpose gymnasium. The gymnasium opened in 1989.
The tall buildings next to Tower 39 rise from the ground. The whole of Toronto is a very new and vibrant city. After visiting the tower and surrounding buildings, Yunluo and Anchu met Lake Ontario next to it and prepared to take a boat tour.
Ontario Lake Ontario is one of the five major freshwater lakes in North America and belongs to the world's largest freshwater lake group. Lake Ontario has an area of 19,554 square kilometers, the smallest of the five major lakes, but its water storage capacity exceeds Lake Erie, with an average depth of 86 meters and a deepest depth of 244 meters. When I came to Lake Ontario, I found that it was much larger than I thought and endless.
It seems to be at the beach. The lake is very clear, and there are fish swimming around it. The ecology around the lake is well maintained. The cruise ship gradually moves away from Toronto, and the towers, tall buildings and various buildings in the city center are completely reflected. At this moment, I feel that the port of Toronto is somewhat similar to the Bund in Shanghai, the Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong, and Manhattan in New York.
4142 The cruise ship on the cruise ship in the center of Toronto, the Lake Ontario cruise ship can enjoy the prosperity of downtown Toronto from a macro perspective. 43 The endless Lake Ontario, the lake water is extremely clear. 44 The cruise ship on the cruise ship on the cruise ship on the lake Ontario is gradually moving away from the center. At this time, the sky begins to be covered with dark clouds and a heavy rain is coming.
Fortunately, the cruise ship Yun Luo and An Chuyu were equipped with sightseeing glass, so they were not afraid of being wet. 45 The rain on Lake Ontario, which was photographed on the cruise ship, wet the edge of the boat, and the lake began to roll, breaking the calm just now. 46 The scenery in Lake Ontario Lake was already gushing with hunger, and I was ready to go to Hinaton to find food.
Toronto's hinaton is a large scale, with various restaurants, supermarkets, and fruit shops on both sides of the street. You can eat all kinds of cuisines in the southeast, west and north. Hong Kong-style tea restaurants, Taiwanese restaurants, Sichuan cuisine, hot pot, and Northeast cuisine are all available, making it a good place to forage. Yunluo and An Chuyu chose a seafood restaurant to eat lobster.
Chinatown under the sunset Toronto Chinatown 48 Chinatown Take a look at the huge lobsters in Chinatown 49 Seafood Restaurants in Chinatown 49, and I’m waiting to enjoy you tonight! Chinatown Toronto Chinatown forgot the name of this dish, and I’ll temporarily name it steamed shrimp tofu. 50 Seafood Restaurant Toronto Chinatown has to rush on the second day. Yunluo and An Chuyu have enough food and drink.
I went back to the hotel to rest. This time, Yunluo and Anchu met both economic chain hotels, which were affordable and had good accommodation conditions, which were very comfortable. The 51 hotel in Toronto was tired for a day, fell out of bed, and fell asleep.
I set off from Toronto in the morning and drove to Qiandao Lake for three hours. The morning was particularly cold! The thick coat still couldn't isolate the cold air, and it was so cold that it was trembling. The upper and lower teeth kept fighting. I boarded the sightseeing boat and had a little heating. Then ordered a hot breakfast drink, which was much better. I enjoyed breakfast while enjoying the scenery of the lake.
52 The national flag of Canada fluttered on the ship, and it is indeed worthy of being the maple leaf country. Even the national flag is full of eye-catching red maple leaves. 53 The cruise ship began to sail towards the island in the lake. 54 At this time, the commentator began to explain that Qiandao Lake consists of 1,864 large and small islands, connecting the northeast of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River. The dividing line in the center of the lake divides Qiandao Lake into two.
To the south is New York State, USA, and to the north is Ontario, Canada. These islands are scattered like stars on the St. Lawrence River, like fairy tales. Most of the islands are private territory. Rich people from the United States and Canada buy islands here and build villas in the lake, and come here for vacation when the weather is warm in the summer.
Usually, the houses on the island are empty. 55565758The island in the picture below is heartisland. The castle on the island was built by a wealthy man with many hotels in the United States. He originally wanted to give it to his beloved wife, but unfortunately his wife died before the completion of the work. The rich man was very sad and ordered the suspension of work. The unbuilt castle became deserted within 70 years.
Later, due to the development of tourism, the official spent tens of millions of dollars to repair, maintain and manage, which made it today's appearance. The 596061 cruise ship then passed the Qiandao Bridge, which is the shortest international bridge in the world, spanning the United States and Canada. The 62th then passed through a pavilion in the middle of the lake, which has a very distinctive feature of Chinese courtyard buildings.
The traffic on the island cannot be reached except for ships and speedboats that can travel on the river. Therefore, it seems particularly quiet and peaceful, and it is a paradise for the rich to recuperate. 63 Then, the cruise ship docked. Yunluo was attracted by two maple trees from a family on the shore. They were so eye-catching.
Yunluo and An Chuyu rushed to Ottawa without stopping to the capital of Canada. Although Ottawa is the capital of Canada, it is not a big city with a population of less than 1 million. Ottawa merged with small towns in the suburbs and surrounding areas and eventually became a larger regional city. Yunluo and An Chuyu first came to Ottawa's landmark Capitol Hill.
The Capitol was built in the middle of the 19th century, but unfortunately it was destroyed by a fire in 1916. It was later rebuilt and completed in 1922. The current Capitol Villa is a classic Gothic building that looks very retro. The tower in the center of the Capitol is the Peaetoer, which is 90 meters high. There is a striking bell on the tower, which will ring regularly.
(tips: If you want to visit, you need to receive free tickets for the visitor center opposite Capitol Villa. The tickets are divided into periods, and the entire visit process will take about 1 hour. For specific tourist information, please refer to the official website of Capitol Villa to get tickets and prepare to queue for security checks. Because it is a government agency, security checks are extremely strict.
Moreover, there are many places inside that are not allowed to visit. The columns inside 68 are very artistic. The columns in the center of the 69 Hall have various complex reliefs on the columns. The 70 building has many stained glass windows similar to the picture below, which are particularly beautiful. After going up 7172, there will be an elevator to take you to the observation deck of the Peace Tower.
The beautiful pictures below are all Ottawa city landscapes taken on the tower. 7374 An incredible city is like a fairyland in a fairy tale. The Ottawa River, which is blue by the sun, flows slowly across the city, and a bridge connects the banks of the river. Far and near. Countless colorful and colorful trees dot the city like stars.
Several buildings were placed among the trees everywhere, as beautiful as an oil painting. 75 A church in the style of the Geometric style. 7677 retro buildings next to Capitol Villa. 78 Because Ottawa is very small, it takes a long time to visit. Yun Luo and An Chuyu couldn't wait to go to their favorite Montreal.
There is the red maple that Yunluo most yearns for this trip! Montreal Montreal is the second largest city in Canada, located in Quebec, with a population of about 1.6 million. The official language is French. It is also the city with the most French-speaking city except Paris. A considerable number of residents here are descendants of the French. Montreal has a famous mountain called "Mountain Royal" (Touching Troyal).
It is also a famous attraction to appreciate maple leaves. The name of the city of Montreal comes from the name of this mountain. In the 1970s, Montreal took on huge debts and built Olympic parks and competition venues because of the Olympic Games. All debts were not paid off until the 1990s. Therefore, the city suffered a long economic recession.
The city is slow, and most of the buildings in the urban area seem old. On the way to the Botanical Garden, I saw the famous Olympic Leaning Tower. At the entrance of the Botanical Garden, I went to the entrance of the Botanical Garden and prepared to buy a ticket to enter the garden. Before, the staff greeted Yunluo and said, "hoare to doing". When I got here, I said "Bo njour". I was a little uncomfortable.
Try to communicate with the park staff in English, but they can't speak fluent English. There is still a little difficulty in communicating, so they can only give up. The reason I want to go to the Montreal Botanical Garden is that it is not only one of the best places to enjoy maple viewing, but also the second largest botanical garden in the world and the largest in North America. The park is divided into 10 greenhouses and 30 outdoor parks with themes.
There are also representatives of Asian gardens: Japanese gardens and Chinese gardens. Because this is a maple viewing trip, Yun Luo and An Chuyun are all targeting the prosperous maple trees. The entrance of the botanical garden is not too big, but the information provided to tourists is sufficient, with English and French bilingual displays. 81 Finally, I found the red maple trees I longed for in the botanical garden!
If you don’t take dozens of photos, how can you be worthy of the clouds falling all the way and wading through mountains and rivers? 828384 Autumn is here. In the botanical garden, the grass is covered with golden autumn leaves. 85 The garden is full of autumn breath. 86 Japanese gardens. 87 Passing by an old tree that looks like an old man, it’s very special. 88 Passing by a reed field.
The afternoon sun was not very strong. The sunlight shone on the reed leaves, illuminating the light and shadow. The reed ears seemed to be inlaid with gold edges, forming a dreamy light and shadow effect. Yun Luo picked up the camera, seized this good opportunity, and took a lot of "sunset reeds". 89909192 A red maple in the Botanical Garden looked particularly bright in the sun.
93 There is a cluster of red in every corner. 9495 It is almost six o'clock after visiting the Botanical Garden, and hungry people are ready to go for food. Montreal, known as the "Little Paris", is of course inevitable, so we have to try local French food. Yunluo and An Chu come to a romantic French restaurant near the city hall.
I ordered Yunluo’s favorite steak.PS Every time I eat steak Yunluo, I order ell-done, because Yunluo likes to eat cooked food, which surprised Yunluo’s friends and waiters. But under normal circumstances, medium is the best, such beef is the tenderest, and there is a little redness inside. The 96 bread is freshly baked, hot and crispy.
There is also a fresh vegetable salad with high quality. The 9798 I have been looking forward to the main course. Two steaks and one big shank! Here, I must state that it is not all Yunluo eats it alone! ps, that shank is so delicious! The meat is very soft and extremely tasty! A very real meal! In order to experience the romance of the French.
I deliberately asked the waiter to light the red candles on the table. The 99-after-meal dessert, tiramisu. The taste is also great, and it melts in the mouth. In this cold place, eating some desserts and red meat will help keep your body warm. 100 eat and drink enough, and plan to stroll around the city hall. I don’t know if the weather is too cold, and there are only a few people in the streets in the city center.
At this time, I deeply realized that Canada is vast and sparsely populated. There are so few people that it is even a little scary. I wonder if it is deliberately creating a retro effect. The roads on the streets are piled up with stone slabs, and the very uneven road surface reminds people of the 19th-century European street scenes in oil paintings. Montreal City Hall at night in 101 was shining with purple lights.
It looks extremely solemn and majestic. On the night of 102, the temperature has dropped below zero. It is the coldest moment in these days. The wind is also strong. In addition, there are only a few people on the street. Yun Luo and An Chuyu decided to go back to the hotel to rest early. 103 summarize today's trophy. The Canadian specialty I bought in the supermarket: maple syrup (maplesy milk p).
Maple syrup is extracted from maple trees. The trunks of maple trees contain a lot of starch. In winter, it becomes sucrose. When the weather is warm, the sucrose becomes a sweet sap. The sap can be collected and then boiled to make maple syrup. Maple syrup is less sweet than honey and sucrose, but it is rich in minerals and organic acids. Usually, 40 kilograms of maple sap can only process 1 kilogram of maple syrup.
So maple syrup is really a precious health care product. The red maple leaves collected today were carefully selected from the maple leaves all over the ground. They are ready to go home and make a bookmark for eternal commemoration.
The last day's itinerary was to set off from Montreal, pass the ausablehasm canyon in Adirondack Park. Then, all the way back to New York. This time, it was entering the United States. The customs officers in the United States carefully checked Yunluo's passport and visa, and then successfully cleared Yunluo. The weather today was the best, with sunshine and blue sky and white clouds.
Yun Luo's camera can finally be used. The picture below is one of Yun Luo's favorite photos, with the blue sky and white clouds. A stream flowing in the colorful woods, full of autumn smell, and mixed with a trace of residual heat from late summer. What a harmonious natural landscape. 106 A bridge connects the two ends of the canyon. 107 The smell of autumn has been deeply integrated into this painting.
No, it's in this photo. 108 At this time, the geese in the sky began to flock. They flew south in shape and orderly to cope with the coming cold winter. 109 The stream slowly flowed downstream and began to gather into rivers with larger flows, and finally fell into a canyon dozens of meters deep, with great momentum. 110 The rocks in the canyon.
After billions of years of erosion, a unique landform has been formed. In the forest of 111, a unique maple tree was found, and the embellishments of green and red show the confrontation between autumn and summer. 112 hiked out of the canyon and passed a lawn covered with autumn leaves! It was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was the most beautiful, gentle and graceful moment of the day.
Yun Luo took out his camera excitedly and prepared to "work hard" on this grassland. He adjusted the different shooting parameters and took different photos. He still liked the feeling of the picture below the picture the most. Yun Luo simply lay directly on the ground, with a large aperture, and the tree trunks and fences slightly farther away were already very "empty", but the shining golden light formed was clearly visible.
The focus is on a golden maple leaf not far from Yunluo, keeping the angle as low as possible, and using an "equal" perspective as possible to observe and record the wonderful moments of nature. Seeing this photo always reminds Yunluo of the romantic piano piece "Whispering on the Private Day" I loved when I was a child. It was one of Yunluo's favorite piano music, Yunluo at that time.
Whenever I hear this piano piece, this scene always comes to my mind: in the afternoon of autumn, the sun is warm and gentle, sprinkled on the golden trees, emitting a little golden light, leisurely and comfortable. This photo is the picture that Yunluo has always imagined in his mind. 113 This is a small path leading you to the depths of the maple forest that makes you imagine the scenery in the depths.
The last day of the unparalleled beauty 119 was announced to end from photographing countless maple trees to collecting countless maple leaves. The car drove for five or six hours to New York, and Yunluo suddenly felt exhausted. Four days ago, he had been in the car for so long, went to so many places, ran so many distances, carried such heavy cameras and lenses, and took hundreds of photos.
He didn't feel tired, perhaps because of his strong desire to appreciate the maple leaves, let Yunluo remain energetic and excited. This time, Yunluo was very satisfied with the trip, because all the wishes he wanted to fulfill were already fulfilled, all the attractions he wanted to go to, all the beautiful maple trees he saw, and all the fiery red maple leaves were collected.
However, Canada is such a beautiful and vast place. Yunluo hopes to have the opportunity to go to Maple Leaf Country again to uncover her veil and explore more and more beautiful places! Yunluo was very happy about the first time he came to vanouver, sighing at the blue sky and white clouds that were never common in China, sighing at the uncrowded city, and this sudden relaxation.
Chapter completed!
