Chapter 909: Return to Toronto
Yesterday, because they really couldn't think of other trips, after the meal, Li Zehan and the others decided to use the rest of the time to buy souvenirs and souvenirs.
Of course, this is not a decision made by Li Zehan, after all, except for Cheng Shiqing, Kim Tae-hee and others' shopping desire should not be underestimated, and when he is only a man, Li Zehan is quite reluctant to have such a trip, which is completely looking for abuse for himself.
It's a pity that under Kim Tae-hee's gaze, Li Zehan still didn't dare to raise objections, and his performance was quite cowardly.
In the end, Li Zehan, who returned to the hotel with everyone's booty, collapsed directly on the bed after a simple wash, and it didn't take long for Ji to fall asleep directly.
Today they plan to leave Kingston and return to Toronto.
However, they did not just return to Toronto without being so boring, but planned to take a trip to the famous Maple Leaf Strip and go to a winery near Niagara to taste Canada's famous ice wine.
The former was the idea of Lee Taek-han and Kim Tae-hee, while the latter was proposed by Sunny, who has always loved alcohol, and the others unanimously agreed, so this itinerary was added.
The Maple Avenue starts at the eastern end of Quebec and winds along the St. Lawrence River to the western end of Niagara, stretching across the provinces of Ontario and Quebec, with a total length of 800 kilometers. Ride through canyons, rivers, mountains, and lakes, dotted with important cities and places of interest such as Montreal, Ottawa, Kingston, Toronto, and more. Whenever autumn comes, it will be rendered by the colors of the maple leaves incomparably gorgeous, incomparably brilliant, and the heaven and earth have become a real splendid river and mountain.
Maple leaf, as a symbol of the Canadian country, people have a deep affection for maple leaves, from the national flag, national emblem, national flower, to daily necessities, maple leaf patterns abound, and they are all artistic and beautiful. Not only Canadians like it, but most tourists who come to Canada also like maple leaves very much, and come to Canada to see the maple leaves all over the mountains in Canada is also the most important thing for tourists who travel to Canada.
The best time to see the autumn leaves is from mid-September to mid-October, but depending on the temperature changes, the autumn is too warm and the leaves turn red slowly, and if the temperature drops sharply, the leaves will be painted in colorful colors overnight.
Generally speaking, the maple leaves turn red from Quebec about a week earlier than in Niagara, while the plateaus and valleys appear earlier than in the cities.
After a simple breakfast at the hotel, Li Zehan and the others packed their luggage and checked out to leave.
"When I think about watching the maple leaves, as long as you crazy girls are by my side, I feel extremely depressed. Li Zehan stared at Cui Xiuying, who would be in the same car with him, and after looking at the four of them for a while, he sighed and said.
"Don't talk about it, we just want to stay with you. Cui Xiuying said angrily.
"I told you that we can drive by ourselves, we don't need you to be our driver, you don't listen to persuasion, what can we do. Sunny also spoke out about his dissatisfaction.
"If you were reliable, Tae-hee and I wouldn't be like that. Li Zehan spread his hands and ropeway.
"It's not because when you stay with us, it's not very serious, we're all used to getting along with you like this, how can we change it for a while. Kwon Yoo-ri said complainingly.
"So at the end of the day, it's still your pot. Sunny pointed at Li Zehan and said.
"It's really natural for you to throw this pot. Li Zehan raised his eyebrows and said.
"It's all an occasion, you teach it well, otherwise we wouldn't be so proficient in this skill. Sunny said with a shy smile on his face.
"Forget it, you better get in the car and hurry up and go. Li Zehan clapped his hands and said to a few people.
Cui Xiuying and others immediately put on sunglasses and hats and got into the car.
Then he urged Li Zehan to turn on the roof of the car quickly.
Although the weather was a little cold, they all felt that if they wanted to go to the Maple Leaf Avenue, it would be better to turn on the roof of the car.
Following the instructions of the navigation, Li Zehan and his entourage also entered Maple Avenue very smoothly after a short distance.
On a bright autumn day, facing the warm sunshine and smelling the fresh air, we walked along the maple avenue all the way, watching the red leaves of the mountains flutter lightly in the wind, and the colorful world spread out in front of you.
"Shouldn't there be some music at this time? Attracted by the beautiful scenery for a while, Sunny came back to his senses and said to the people in the car.
"I've been on a portable stereo, and now it's just the right thing to use. Quan Yuli took out a pure white portable speaker from her bag and said as if offering a treasure.
"Okay, then I'll choose the song now. Cui Xiuying said excitedly, and as she spoke, she took out her mobile phone and began to search for songs related to travel.
Soon Choi so-young chose a song to be sung by estlife, The Rose.
"Are you sure this song is really suitable for listening to now? shouldn't there be some more cheerful songs?" After listening to it for a while, Li Zehan, who felt that the song didn't fit much with their current situation, said.
"I don't think it's appropriate, Xiuying, you better change it. Kwon Yoori shook her head, also feeling that this song was not suitable for the current atmosphere.
Choi so-young touched her nose in embarrassment, and then quickly changed to another song, Traveling Light sung by Courtney Jaye.
"I think it's up to me to choose the songs, you choose all the songs that are suitable for you to listen to when you're driving alone, you can't be happy. Kim Hyo-yeon took Choi so-young's mobile phone and said.
Cui Xiuying pursed her lips aggrievedly, but everyone selectively ignored this.
Kim Hyo-yeon's movements were fast, and it didn't take long for the music to sound again.
She chose one of her favorite songs recently, Sugar by Maroon 5.
The cheerful melody set the mood in the car, and Sunny and the others swayed to the rhythm of the music.
"It's a good atmosphere over there. ”
"I didn't bother if I knew I wouldn't have bothered, and I brought a portable stereo with me. Zheng Xiuyan said a little depressed.
"Although I didn't bring a portable speaker, I did bring a portable microphone, would I be interested in singing a song?" asked Pani as he pulled out a pink portable microphone from his bag and looked at Jung so-yeon.
"Of course~!" Zheng Xiuyan, as one of the lead singers of the group, is naturally very confident in singing, and now the interest has also been driven by Li Zehan's movements over there, and she has long had the idea of singing.
Soon the car they were in was heard singing from Zheng Xiuyan.
This made Kim Taeyeon, Lim Yoon-a, and Seo Hyun, who were not well-prepared enough and could only use their mobile phones to play music, very depressed.
"I heard that you plan to go to see Rocky Mountain in two days?" asked Li Zehan at the end of another song, to the four of them.
"Of course, if we have time, we have to take a look, and the scenery over there should be very good at this time, and it is worth a trip. Cui Xiuying couldn't hold back her excitement and said with a gesture.
"Even, do you need us to help you get two more days of vacation, and then you and Ernie go with us to see the Rocky Mountain, presumably Section Chief Jin should not refuse. Kwon Yoo-ri stepped forward and asked Li Zehan.
"Forget it, I'm already very satisfied to have so many days of vacation, and I will visit other attractions when I come to Canada next time. Li Zehan motioned for her to sit down and spoke.
"Also, if you want to visit all the places worth visiting, two days will definitely not be enough. Cui Xiuying touched her chin and said.
"It's a shame, I don't have many opportunities to travel with you. Jin Xiaoyuan pouted and said.
"The next time Tai Xuan and I plan to go on a trip, I'll tell you to go together if you have time. Li Zehan said with a smile.
"I'm sure I have time, and it's good to have less trips. Jin Xiaoyuan said with a bit of self-deprecation.
"I said I want to arrange more variety show trips for you, but you don't want to go. Li Zehan glanced at her through the rearview mirror and said.
"There's no way, most of the current shows can't arouse my interest. Jin Xiaoyuan waved his hand and said.
"Didn't you say you wanted to go to the jungle before, let the puppet bar help you get in touch. Sunny said, looking at her.
"It's really worthy of Xiaoyuan, you would want to go to the jungle where a few of them avoid snakes and scorpions. Li Zehan said with some surprise.
"I wanted to go, but I still need some time to prepare. Jin Xiaoyuan scratched the back of his head and said with a smile.
"Then when you're mentally prepared, come and tell me, and I'll let someone arrange it for you. Li Zehan said with a smile.
As time passed, Li Zehan and the others entered the scenic Muscoca scenic area.
The Muscoca Scenic Area was once rated as the number one resort area in North America.
There are more than 2,000 lakes and more than 2,500 islands, and Algonquin Provincial Park is home to it. Halfway between Georgian Bay and Ottawa, it's the second largest provincial park in Canada, with natural lakes, canoe waterways, birds, plants, animals and camping for nature lovers.
During the autumn foliage season, the park is filled with maple trees that turn green to red, rendering the park's environment a fiery red. The red leaves pave the ground into a bright red and golden yellow avenue, and it is a pleasant walk to take a long time.
If there was more time, Li Zehan and the others didn't mind staying here for two days and camping after a long absence.
After a while, they were back in the Niagara area.
Iceine is a world-renowned sweet wine made from grapes that are naturally frozen on vines at temperatures below -8°C, and is a special type of premium wine.
"Iceine" is already the exclusive term for Canadian icewine, and only icewine made in the VQA (Canadian Wine Merchants Quality Alliance) legal appellation can be called "Iceine", which is somewhat similar to the Champagne regulations in France.
Some people say that the birth of ice wine was a beautiful mistake.
More than 200 years ago, a winery in the Franconia region of Germany planted grapes that were growing very well, but the owner of the winery was out and could not return in time, so the grapes hanging on the branches missed the normal harvest time.
This was followed by a snowstorm that arrived earlier than usual, and the bitter cold caused the grapes to freeze into ice, and they could no longer be sold.
The owner of the winery was reluctant to give up these fine grapes, so he picked and pressed these "ice grapes" to obtain a very small amount of juice, which the winemaker fermented according to the traditional method, and was surprised to find that the result was a sweet and sour balance, sweet as honey, and named it ice wine, which is the original ice wine.
After more than 200 years of development, today's ice wine has become a highly prestigious wine treasure. And the accidental heavy snowfall more than 200 years ago has become a "beautiful mistake" worth cherishing.
Ontario, Canada, as the world's best producer of ice wine, has gathered more than 70 of the world's best ice wine estates, among which the Niagara-on-the-Lake region is the most famous, and Canada's top ice wine wineries are gathered here.
Due to the relationship of time, Li Zehan and the others naturally couldn't visit all those wineries, so after discussion, they made a choice among the many wineries.
They chose the famous Reif Estate inery.
Château Reve was the first German winery to immigrate to Canada
For 500 years, the Reeve family has been working in winemaking in a small town near the Rhine River Valley in Germany.
It is said that when the owner of the winery came to the Niagara region for a tour, he accidentally found that the environment, climate, temperature and soil quality were quite conducive to grape cultivation and ice wine production, and in 1977, Eald Reif decided to cross the Atlantic Ocean and move to the Niagara region of Canada.
In 1983, Ewald, who never gave up his winemaking career, founded Château Reeve on the estate where he lived and carried out a series of renovations to the original vineyards on the estate.
Since 1987, the winery has produced award-winning wines all over the world. In 1997, Tesoro wines won the International Wine & Spirits Competition. amp; amp; amp; Spirit Competition), in 2002 the winery was named Best Canadian Winery at the International Wine and Spirit Competition, and in 2009, the winery produced Canada's first wine made from Niagara Raisins. In 2010, Klaus Reeve received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Ontario ine Society.
On the way to the winery, Cui Xiuying and others searched for a lot of information related to ice wine and the winery with their mobile phones, so as not to accidentally make any jokes later.
Sunny, who is a well-known restaurant lover in the circle, did not forget to check the cheese and fine chocolate he bought yesterday while checking the information.
She got information from friends who also loved wine that it was best to pair it with fine chocolate when tasting ice wine.
So without saying a word, I went to buy a few boxes of fine chocolates.
This made Li Zehan and others cry and laugh.
