Chapter 907: Kingston's Trip IV

"Are you not going to go to the Club later?" came to Cui Xiuying's suite, looking at the new clothes they had put on, Li Zehan asked with a slight frown.

"Of course not, we're just going to have a drink at the bar at the hotel and get a feel for the atmosphere of the bar on this side of Canada. Kwon Yoori said after striking a pose that accentuated her figure.

"Don't worry, I'll take a good look at them, and I won't let them drink too much and affect tomorrow's trip. Kim Tae-yeon patted her chest and assured.

"It's good for you to do it yourself, such an adult, you definitely don't want us to care too much about you. Li Zehan waved his hand and said.

"You're really getting more and more enlightened, and you'll definitely be a good father in the future. Quan Yuli gave Li Zehan a thumbs up and said.

"That's for sure, but my standards for treating children at that time will be different from yours, you bear children, I'm already in a state of half-abandonment. Li Zehan clasped his hands around his chest and looked at them with a smile and said.

"Even, your mentality is absolutely wrong, although a few of them are not saved, but aren't there still me and Xiaoxian, you can't just give up. Sunny said with a cheering gesture to Li Zehan.

As soon as her words came out, they immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the other seven people, and directly suppressed her regardless of her image.

"It's because of Xiaoxian that I can still be in a state of abandonment, otherwise I would have given up a long time ago. Li Zehan took a deep breath and said.

"Thank you. Xu Xian thanked Li Zehan very obediently.

"It's over, Xiaoxian has completely learned from the puppet bar, and he doesn't bother to hide the smug smile on his face. Lin Yun'er held her face and said with despair in her tone.

"Kids, let's have a good drink tonight, it's a good time to drink away. Sunny said to his friends.

"Go yourself, don't count us in. Kim Taeyeon said with a serious wave of his hand.

"What, aren't you usually the first to respond, why are you reserved at this time. Jin Xiaoyuan looked her up and down, shook his head helplessly and said.

"That's because the puppet bar is looking at us with fierce eyes, don't you usually have a very high eyesight, why do you always drop the chain at a critical moment. Zheng Xiuyan pointed at Li Zehan and said.

"My eight characters are really bad, and all I encounter are some bad friends. Sunny said, stroking his forehead.

"By the way, you are not the only one who has this problem. Pani said with a smile on his face.

"Alright, let's head out for dinner first. Li Zehan clapped his hands and said.

After checking that everything was ready and that nothing was missing, the group left the room together and headed to the hotel's restaurant.

After dinner, Lee Taek-han and Kim Tae-hee originally planned to go back to the room directly.

But I really couldn't resist Cui Xiuying and them, so I had to go to the rooftop bar of the hotel with them.

It wasn't until almost eleven o'clock that Cui Xiuying and the others had the idea of going back to rest.

In the past few days, in order to play the itinerary, Li Zehan and his party chose to get up early, so after discussion, they decided to sleep until they woke up naturally before starting the next day's trip.

After exchanging goodnights, the group returned to their respective suites to wash up and rest.

At about nine o'clock the next morning, Li Zehan woke up, because he rested too early last night, even if Li Zehan wanted to sleep a little later, he couldn't do it.

After lying on the bed for a while, staring at Kim Tae-hee, who had not woken up yet, for a while, Lee Zehan got out of bed and walked towards the bathroom.

Although Lee Chaek-han had deliberately slowed down his movements in order not to wake up Kim Tae-hee, trying to avoid making a relatively large noise, Kim Tae-hee woke up not long after he went to the bathroom.

"Did I wake you up?" Lee Taek-han, who came back from washing, found that Kim Tae-hee had woken up, so he asked.

"I'm almost awake in the first place, otherwise you wouldn't have woken me up so easily when you got out of bed. Kim Tae-hee sat up and said.

"It looks like a good rest. Li Zehan walked up to her, helped her cut her hair, and then held her face and looked at it carefully for a while, then nodded with satisfaction and said.

"Go pack your things, last night I made a list of the things we want to bring today, you can take my phone and follow the list to clean up. Kim Tae-hee said, pointing to his phone.

"Got it, you go wash up first, and I'll ask if the kids are up. Lee Taek-han said after taking Kim Tae-hee's mobile phone.

"Don't rush them, we can slow down the pace today, there's no need to be so rushed. Kim Tae-hee said admonishingly.

Li Zehan made an OK gesture, and then went to pack his things.

As Li Zehan expected, except for Cheng Shiqing and Xu Xian, everyone else is still in sleep.

Although breakfast can be solved through room service, Li Zehan still plans to find a restaurant outside to solve it after everyone gathers together.

At about ten o'clock, Cui Xiuying and others all gathered in Li Zehan's suite.

After choosing a restaurant that offers brunch and is not far from the hotel, the group left the hotel and drove to the restaurant they had chosen.

Because they all wanted to save their stomachs to taste some Canadian specialties, the group did not eat too much during the meal, and the meal time was less than half an hour.

After finishing the meal, they officially started their trip for the day.

Kingston, also known as Kingston, is an important tourist city in Canada, located in eastern Ontario, on the north shore of Lake Ontario, and an important port at the mouth of the St. Lawrence River, with a population of 120,000.

Kingston is the ancient capital of Canada, and it was a base for British colonization before the founding of Canada, so the city retains an old British atmosphere everywhere.

Many of the old buildings in the city centre are made of white stone, hence the nickname "Limestone City".

Kingston has always been a "battleground", first built a fort (Fort Frontenac) here in 1673, which was later burned down by the British during the Seven Years' War. The British built another military fortress.

During the War of 1812, Kingston was the headquarters of the Great Lakes Fleet of the British army. After the war, in order to prevent the sneak attack of the American army, the British army built a series of castles and batteries here. One of them, Fort Henry, is today a tourist attraction.

Kingston is a great place to see the autumn leaves, and the road from Toronto to Kingston and then to Montreal is the famous cherry leaf viewing route.

However, Li Zehan and they arranged it for tomorrow, and it happened that they were going back to Toronto.

Li Zehan: Their first stop today was Kingston City Hall.

Kingston City Hall is located in the easternmost part of the city centre, facing east with a large pier facing the St. Lawrence River, and is the heart and landmark of the city. Kingston City Hall was the Parliament building when Kingston was the capital of Canada, and was built in the early 1840s (haha, this has entered the "modern history" of Chinese history), and it is a typical Tuscan Revival building in Great Britain, and it looks extremely solemn. The tower at the top of the town hall is surrounded by large bells that ring at 12 o'clock every day.

Kingston City Hall, Canada's first "Congress Hall".

In front of the Canadian Parliament Building (now City Hall) was Lake Ontario, and a little further away was the Military Academy, across which the United States was located a little further afield. The artillery of the American army is capable of directly shelling the Capitol.

Therefore, the abandonment of Kingston as the capital was considered from a national security perspective.

She was succeeded by Montreal and Toronto, until 1857, when the Queen declared Ottawa the capital.

Canada is a very democratic country, and citizens can walk in the streets at will if they have any opinions, so many tourists who come to Kingston have the experience of encountering peaceful demonstrators in front of the city hall.

Entering the gate of the town hall, the first thing you see is a welcome sign with a welcome message written in three languages.

They are Chinese, English and French.

There are also guidebooks in three languages on the shelves at the reception desk at the entrance.

Kingston Town Hall isn't huge, but it feels magnificent. Walk through the door directly in front of the reception desk, behind which is a vertical elevator. Walking from both sides of the elevator to the back is the Heritage Center Exhibition Hall, which contains some porcelain, iron and other cultural relics, but it seems that the age of the cultural relics is not very old.

On either side of the main gate of the town hall are two small houses of about ten square meters, Sir John MacDonald Gallery and John Cont Gallery, which display some 19th-century books and an oil portrait of Sir John MacDonald, the first Governor General of Canada.

John Alexander Macdonald (January 11, 1815 – June 6, 1891), born in Glasgow, Scotland, was a Canadian politician, lawyer, and the first Canadian prime minister.

The imaginative Conservative John Alexander MacDonald is the undisputed father of Canada.

MacDonald was keen on his English roots, but more Canadian than the critics who demanded him.

Using his legendary political skills, MacDonald united various political forces to create a transcontinental state that enabled the new nation to successfully resist the political and economic annexation of the United States.

Kingston Town Hall Level 1 and Level 2 are open areas where visitors can visit them.

The first floor of the wings on both sides is the office area, where some people are working. Take the elevator or take the stairs on either side of the reception desk to the second floor, which is flanked by the mayor's office, the councillor's office and the council hall.

The council hall is where the councillors meet, and is a circular hall with two circles of round tables. On the front wall of the hall hangs the city coat of arms and a picture of the Queen of England, in front of which is the mayor's seat. On the north side of the second floor is a large hall, which has long been a venue for municipal events.

In 1921 it became a memorial hall to commemorate the Kingston people who died during the First World War. The hall is topped by an intricately carved plaster ceiling and flanked by beautiful stained-glass windows depicting heroes from the Great War.

After the death of Sir MacDonald, the first Governor General of Canada, the hall was also laid out for respect, and a full-length portrait of him by the artist William Sawyer hangs on the front of the hall.

Above the third floor of the tower is a non-open area, but it can also be taken up and is basically a meeting room and office. The whole building has no doormen or secretaries, and it normally receives residents and tourists, and portraits of the former mayors of Kingston hang on both sides of the corridors and stairs.

The third floor and above are closed areas, but you can also go up, which is basically meeting rooms and offices. The whole building has no doormen or secretaries, and it normally receives residents and tourists, and portraits of the former mayors of Kingston hang on both sides of the corridors and stairs.

Lee Tae-han, Kim Tae-hee, Sung Shi-qing and Olivia are still very interested here, but Choi so-young and others are not very interested here.

So they didn't stay here at City Hall for too long.

Opposite the government hall is a small square, there is a rainbow-shaped landmark in the middle, and there is a small fort, although I don't know what this is used for, but this does not prevent Li Zehan from taking a photo here to take a souvenir.

On the east side of the square, immediately adjacent to the St. Lawrence River, is a small pier.

On the south side of the square is the front of a steam locomotive, next to a small house, which is the original Kingston railway station and a "National Historic Site", which is now the Kingston Visitor Centre.

Behind the hall is a small square, which has been transformed into an artificial ice rink about 50 meters long and 30 meters wide in winter, which is much smaller than the natural ice rink on the Rideau Canal, but the surface is as smooth as a mirror, and you can really feel the fun of skating.

It's a pity that it's still autumn, and Li Zehan and they don't have the opportunity to experience it.

"Hey, why is the weather so cold all of a sudden, and it was so hot yesterday. Kwon Yoo-ri, who was dressed relatively thinly, rubbed her arms and said.

"I've told you to bring a coat. Li Zehan shook his head helplessly, then took off his coat and handed it over.

"Aren't you cold?" Quan Yuli didn't take the coat immediately, but asked Li Zehan embarrassedly.

"I have another spare jacket in the car, I'll just pick it up later. Li Zehan waved his hand and said.

"Then you're welcome. Hearing this, Quan Yuli also let go of the worries in her heart, took Li Zehan's coat, and quickly put it on herself.

At the same time, I am also glad that I am better dressed today, even if I put on Li Zehan's coat, it will not look weird.

Because they didn't plan a detailed itinerary in advance, Li Zehan and the others had to spend some time discussing the destination of the next stop.

Fortunately, there is also a place for tourists to rest on this side of the square, so that they can sit down.
