Chapter 908: Kingston's Trip Five

Because they couldn't think of any special places they wanted to go for a while, Li Zehan and the others decided to visit the surrounding attractions first.

When you think of where you want to go, just drive there, anyway, Kingston is not big, and the traffic is very smooth, and there will be no traffic jams.

The Menetta was built in 1846 as a military facility along with Henry's Castle as a tower for monitoring and defending the lake. Monita kept Kingston safe day and night from outside land grabbing.

The Meneta is now a military museum, with a fort perched on the shores of the lake.

The location of the Mernita Museum is located in front of City Hall, bordering Lake Ontario.

This kind of war-related attractions are generally difficult for women to like, so Li Zehan and their purpose here is to check in and take pictures.

Heading south along Ontario Street, less than two kilometers long, from City Hall, there are a number of monuments along the way, many commemorating naval soldiers.

Walk to the south end of Ontario Street and you'll arrive at the Pump House Steam Museum.

Kingston has a number of museums, including the Pump House Steam Museum.

Li Zehan: It's also official time for them to come here now, because after a while, the Pump Room Steam Museum will be closed, and if you want to visit, you will have to wait until next spring.

The museum features a large water pump, steam engine, and some firefighting equipment, which help visitors understand the era of industrialization 200 years ago.

"Even, can we choose some places that women will be interested in to visit?" After walking around the museum, Cui Xiuying asked Li Zehan with a pout.

"Of course, that's fine, as long as you do your own searching. Li Zehan shrugged and said.

"Then you're going to give us a little time, let's do a good search. Cui Xiuying took out her mobile phone as she spoke, ready to search for relevant information.

"It's okay, there's plenty of time anyway, you can decide where you're going, and then come and tell us. Kim Tae-hee said with a smile.

The Pump Room Steam Museum is a city park, so Li Zehan and the others plan to visit this place by the way.

The first thing you see is a statue of MacDonald, the first Governor General of Canada, and there are many trees planted in the city park, with some tombstones and monuments in between, as well as artillery from different eras. On the north side of the city park is the Municipal Courthouse, a two-storey Romanesque stone building that resembles the town hall. On the south side of the city park is a barn-like circular building, which is the Murney Toer National Historic Site.

The building was built in 1846 as part of the naval fortifications of Kingston Harbor, built by the Imperial Government during the Oregon Crisis of 1845-46. It was one of the last fortifications built by the British in the North American colonies.

As a regular military barracks, it was not fully armed until 1862.

But after 1849, it became obsolete due to the rapid development of offensive military technology.

This building is also a national historic site, but because it is not open, Li Zehan and they did not go in to visit.

Queen's University in Kingston, most tourists will visit Queen's University in Kingston, so Li Zehan and they also plan to come here for sightseeing and feel the campus atmosphere in Canada.

In 1841, Thomas Liddell was commissioned by the Church of Scotland to come to Kingston with Royal Charter to found Queen's University, which was the predecessor of Queen's University.

Queen's University is a highly respected university in Canada and is known as the Princeton of Canada, along with the University of Toronto, McGill University, which is known as the Ivy League University of Canada.

When Cheng Shiqing wanted to apply for university, she also considered it, but for the sake of her own ideals, Cheng Shiqing finally gave up applying for Queen's University.

In the process of visiting Queen's University, Li Zehan and the others witnessed a lot of interesting things, after all, the campus is full of a group of energetic college students, and it is not surprising that anything happens.

However, Lee Taek-han and Kim Tae-hee still found the envy and loneliness on the faces of Kim Taeyeon and Jung so-yeon, who gave up the college entrance examination at the beginning.

Lee Taek-han and Kim Tae-hee didn't know how to comfort them, so they could only shake their heads secretly and use other topics to divert their attention.

There was also a small episode in the middle that made Li Zehan cry and laugh, that is, Cheng Shiqing, who was originally the most unlikely situation in the eyes of Lee Zehan and Kim Tae-hee, when she visited the library of Queen's University, she almost stayed there because she found a few books that she had been looking for for a long time and refused to leave.

It took a lot of effort for Lee Taek-han and Kim Tae-hee to persuade him to leave, so after Lee Taek-han returned, he had to contact some of his friends to help find and buy those books.

lest Cheng Shiqing regret that she can't see those books, and avoid the situation that Cheng Shiqing will stay here in the Queen's University library in order to read these books.

Li Zehan and his group's next destination was Kingston Prison.

After all, although Kingston is Canada's first capital after the founding of the country, it is also known as the "prison city", and it is really unreasonable not to go to the prison.

Built between 1833 and 1834, Kingston Penitentiary was one of the oldest prisons in the world before it closed, and in 1990 it became a National Historic Site of Canada.

Kingston Penitentiary has been around for over 180 years. The federal pen, also known as The Pen, ceased operations in the fall of 2013.

The reason given by the government was that it was outdated and too expensive.

It closed in 2013, and until now, its internal business operations have been a mystery to the outside world.

Somehow, Olivia showed a great deal of interest in the prison, and was quite disappointed when she learned that it was not open to the public.

Kingston Prison has been known as Canada's Alcatraz since it opened its doors in June 1835. Canada's most brutal criminals are housed here.

This prison is one of nine in the region from the lowest to the highest security. Kingston Prison and Millhaven Institution are both the highest security institutions in Ontario: Kingston Prison has a capacity of 564 inmates and Millhaven Prison has a capacity of 413 inmates.

Kingston Prison has a tall wall with an electrical grid on the wall, watchtowers at the corners, a lake on the south side, and a marina on the west side.

In winter, the yachts were towed ashore, and under the snow, only the towering masts could be seen. In the middle of the north wall of the prison is a tall gatehouse of Greek architecture, which is very majestic. Knee-high snow across the road to the north is a small two-story building with long ice hangings hanging from the eaves, and is home to the Prison Museum.

In the case that she couldn't go to the prison to visit, Olivia, who felt that she couldn't just miss it, pulled Li Zehan and them into the museum together.

Although they couldn't understand her thoughts, Li Zehan and the others were quite cooperative and followed her in for a walk.

About 300 meters further north is a four-storey Romanesque complex with the words "Penitentiary for omen" (Women's Prison) carved into the stone of the lintel.

Kingston Women's Prison looks like a courthouse.

"After coming here, I always feel cold. Sunny rubbed his hands together and said.

"You don't feel scared, do you? Isn't it because we've done something that might lead to being arrested in jail?" Kim Hyo-yeon asked, looking at Sunny with a wink.

"What are you kidding, how can a citizen with good standards like me do anything wrong, that is, I wear a little thin, and there is a little space here, so I feel cold. Sunny argued.

"But you're really a little scared, aren't you?" Kim Hyo-yeon then asked.

"As a weak woman with normal three views, it is normal for me to be a little afraid when I go to such a place. Sunny said as a matter of course.

"Do you mean that if we don't have fear, then our three views are abnormal?" asked Kwon Yoori with a smile on Sunny's shoulder.

"I didn't mean that, don't misinterpret it. Sunny denied it without hesitation, otherwise it would give her a headache if she would be caught by them later.

Twenty-five meters to the east is a small three-story building that houses the Correctional Service of Canada Museum.

From Kingston Prison, walk 500 metres east along King St and another 200 metres north to Bellevue House.

There are many beautiful private houses along the way, which always attract the attention of Kim Tae-hee and others.

The Belleryo House is also a National Historic Site, the former home of Sir John A. Macdonald, Canada's first Prime Minister, and remains as it was in the 1940s.

The Prime Minister's Office, nestled in the lush greenery, is quiet and beautiful.

After walking around so many scenic spots, Li Zehan and they are very fortunate that they don't come here in winter, otherwise many scenic spots can't be visited.

Most of the attractions in Kingston are closed to the public during the winter months.

If it is winter, they can only take a picture outside, punch a card and leave.

Fort Henry in Kingston, which is also the famous complex that Kingston became a water fortress.

Located at the tip of a higher peninsula jutting out from the St. Lawrence River, the castle is surrounded by strong stone walls and moats, and the interior of the fortress is now used as a military museum, vividly recreating the life of the military barracks at that time, the arsenal, etc., showing the atmosphere of a military fortress in the 19th century.

Fort Henry jutts out of the shore of the lake and stands a huge battery and pillbox overlooking the waters of Lake Ontario.

As can be seen from the location of Fort Henry, it was able to hold the waterway to the city of Kingston, and the entire city was under the protection of Fort Henry.

Standing on the high ground of Henry's Fort, you can overlook the whole city of Kingston.

It is precisely because Henry Fortress has a very good scenery that Li Zehan and them stay here much longer than in other attractions.

Li Zehan was also possessed by the soul of a photographer again, and he did his best to help everyone take hundreds of photos.

Because they hadn't eaten much before, and after walking around for so long, Li Zehan and the others already had hunger, so at the next stop, they planned to find a place to fill their stomachs.

Princess St., the main road of Kingston, is lined up with restaurants from fast food restaurants and cafes such as Subay, Starbucks, Tim Horton, and McDonald's, to Chinese restaurants, Mexican, Italian, Cambodian, Vietnamese, and Greek cuisines, as well as Korean and Japanese restaurants.

Originally, Li Zehan planned to choose a Chinese restaurant to dine with.

But after reading the reviews and learning that these Chinese restaurants are not authentic in order to adapt to the taste of Canadians, I dispelled this idea.

In the end, they chose Mexican food, which they rarely eat on weekdays.

"Even, where are we going to go later? It seems that we have already visited all the places that should be visited, and the rest of the places seem to belong to the places that need to be visited early. After Cui Xiuying took a sip of water, she looked at Li Zehan and asked.

"Sure enough, when you come out to play, you should prepare your itinerary plan in advance, and then play according to the itinerary plan, so as to save time. Li Zehan looked at the time, then recalled the unnecessary time wasted in today's itinerary, scratched the back of his head, and said with some annoyance.

"That's good, at least I don't have to have a sense of urgency because of the itinerary plan I have made, and you have seen the situation in Shiqing in those days. Kim Tae-hee said with his hands on his cheeks and a gentle smile on his face.

"That girl really put a lot of pressure on herself in the past few days. Li Zehan glanced at Cheng Shiqing and said with a smile.

"Shiqing Oni is really easy to get too serious when she gets things done, and she feels tired when she looks at it. Cui Xiuying stroked her face and said melancholy.

"It's better than being like you, always doing things like you. Li Zehan said with disgust.

"How can I be a hanger, don't talk nonsense with your eyes open. Cui Xiuying raised her fist at Li Zehan and said very dissatisfied.

"I don't think I'm telling the truth, Ernie, aren't you? Lin Yun'er touched her chin and said.

"I feel the same way, I also think that even this is telling the truth. Jin Xiaoyuan nodded and agreed.

Kim Taeyeon and others also expressed their opinions one by one, and they all agreed that Lee Zehan was telling the truth.

watched her little friend 'embarrassment' with Li Zehan like this, but she choked Cui Xiuying enough, but she understood that she was weak now, and if she really argued with them, she would only suffer from it, so she decided to put up with it for the time being.

After all the food they had just ordered was brought one by one, they vented some of their grievances on the food, turning their grief and anger into appetite.

However, she swept over Kim Taeyeon and them with murderous eyes from time to time, which made Kim Taeyeon and the others panic and did not dare to have too much eye contact with them.
