Chapter 899: Toronto Travels III

On the third day of coming to Canada, Li Zehan and his family decided to go to Niagara, a lakeside town known as the most beautiful town in Canada.

The Niagara Lakeside town is a 2-hour drive from Toronto and a stone's throw from the famous Niagara Falls.

In 1996, the town was awarded the title of "Canada's Most Beautiful Town" in Canada's "National Urban Beautification Competition".

The Niagara lakeside town is also known as one of the seven fairytale towns in the world, along with six other fairytale towns: Melsburg in Germany, Queenstown in New Zealand, Suzdal near Moscow in Russia (World Heritage Site), Vicis on the shores of Lake Lucerne in Switzerland, Positano (World Heritage Site) on the Amalfi Coast in Italy, and Albarracín in northern Spain.

Cheng Shiqing told Li Zehan that when they came here in different quarters, they could appreciate the beauty of different charms.

Now that Canada has entered autumn, although the weather is still very hot, you can already enjoy some of the unique scenery of autumn.

It's like the maple trees that cover the mountains and fields, and the leaves have begun to turn red.

"I'll just say, how can you two come on a trip without wearing a couple's outfit. Olivia said with a smile as she looked at the outfits of Lee Taek-han and Kim Tae-hee.

"Ollie, when your boyfriend isn't around, don't go out of your way to get excited about yourself, lest you complain there when you get there. Li Zehan said teasingly to Olivia.

"Don't worry, I'm going to focus 80% of my attention on those beautiful landscapes today, and I won't pay too much attention to the two of you showing affection. Olivia pouted.

"You'd better get some sleep now, it'll take more than an hour to get to the town. Li Zehan looked at the navigation and said.

Olivia looked at the nice scenery outside the car window tangled, and decided to listen to Li Zehan and sleep for a while.

After all, in order to arrive at the Niagara Lakeside Town early today, Li Zehan and the others got up early in the morning, and now they are indeed a little sleepy.

After Kim Tae-hee and Sung Shi-qing told Lee Zehan some things, they also began to make up for sleep under Lee Zehan's persuasion.

After they all fell asleep, Li Zehan focused his attention on the posture.

More than an hour later, the group arrived at the Niagara-on-the-Lake town.

In the early days, the people who lived in this area were Native Americans. In the 17th century, the entire Niagara Peninsula was inhabited by the Neutral tribe.

To the south were the mighty Iroquois, and to the north were the Hurons, two vengeful Indian tribes who had been enemies for many years, and as its name suggests, the Neutrals remained neutral, not supporting either side, leaving both sides to roam their own borders.

Around 1650, the Iroquois defeated the Huron and took the territory to themselves, and the Seneca Iroquois, one of the Five Kingdoms, began to rule the entire Niagara Peninsula.

In 1792, Governor John Graves Simcoe chose Niagara as the first capital of Upper Canada and renamed it Neark. Since then, this scenic historic town has had many "firsts" in the history of Upper Canada: the first Parliament House, the first mill, the first agricultural association, the first newspaper office (the newspaper name is The Upper Canada Gazette), the first brick house (built in 1795), the first library (founded in 1800), and so on.

As the capital, Neark is right on the border and is a serious test of security. So in 1796, the year after the Simcoe returned to England, the capital was moved to York, now Toronto, on the other side of the lake.

Locals reverted to the name Niagara, which remained in use until 1906. Since then, they have given the town its most beautiful name -- Niagara-on-the-Lake Town.

The town's most distinctive landmark is a clock tower in the middle of the main street, Queen Street, but it's actually a monument.

On June 28, 1920, the local population was given a sacred mission - to bury the remains of the martyrs of the First World War.

At that time, there were ordinary monuments, new school buildings, play areas, modern hospitals, and bell towers as candidates. As a result, the bell tower was fortunate enough to bury the bones of the faithful and was elected with an overwhelming number of votes.

On June 23, 1922, the martyrs of the First World War were buried under the bell tower, and later in 1947, local soldiers who died in the Second World War were buried here.

After Li Zehan and his party arrived in the town, they came here as soon as possible, stopped for about ten minutes, and then left with a lot of emotion.

Li Zehan and the others will not return to Toronto directly indoors tonight, but choose to stay in the town for one night.

The hotel they chose to stay at was the famous Prince of ales Hotel in the town.

It was once again on the list of the best hotels in 2009 by the authoritative travel magazine Travel Leisure.

Built in 1864, the hotel was named after the Prince of England and Wales in 1901, and much of the décor is still the same.

After entering the hotel, with the help of the staff at the front desk, Li Zehan and the others also checked into the hotel smoothly.

After putting the luggage into the room and resting for a while, Li Zehan and the others went to meet Cheng Shiqing and Olivia.

After a brief visit to the hotel, Li Zehan and the others left the hotel and prepared to officially start today's trip.

Not counting the bell tower they had just visited, Li Zehan's first stop on their trip was the Nightmare Fear Factory.

is a haunted house in the small town of Niagara-on-the-Lake, rumored to have been converted from an old coffin factory.

It is indeed strange to start with a haunted house as a game plan, but Li Zehan also has their reasons for arranging it this way.

Because this haunted house can be watched in the lobby of the haunted house, the various expressions and reactions of the visitors inside due to fear are very funny.

Li Zehan is okay, he has never been afraid of projects like haunted houses.

Kim Tae-hee and the three of them don't dare to guarantee that they won't do anything to damage their image because they are frightened.

If other tourists see it, they will be too ashamed to dig a hole and burrow into it.

So they plan to experience it while the haunted house has just opened its doors and there are not many guests.

The Nightmare Dread Factory takes about 15 minutes to complete, and if you plan to quit halfway through, the haunted house will add your name to the public "chicken list".

After some discussion, Li Zehan and the four decided to experience it together.

Not surprisingly, Lee Zehan was elected by Kim Tae-hee and the three to take the lead, and he himself had no opinion on this.

Compared to the haunted houses I experienced in China, the horror level of this nightmare fear factory is indeed slightly higher.

Kim Tae-hee and the others did not have a dolphin voice during the experience, which also made Li Zehan who was standing in front of them bitter.

I wasn't scared by the staff of the haunted house and those props, but I was scared a lot by Kim Tae-hee and the three of them, and their ears were also deeply damaged.

After taking almost twenty minutes and successfully completing the whole process, Li Zehan immediately walked away from Kim Tae-hee and the others a few steps, and then rubbed his ears with his hands.

"Are you okay?" Looking at Li Zehan's actions, recalling the three of them just behaved, Cheng Shiqing asked Li Zehan embarrassedly.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that I feel a little tinnitus. Li Zehan waved his hand and said.

"It seems that we also have the potential to challenge the soprano. Olivia playfully stuck out her tongue and said.

"There's really potential. Li Zehan gave a thumbs up and said.

"Alright, let's go first. Kim Tae-hee said to the three.

Although it was still early, in addition to the four of Li Zehan from the Nightmare Fear Factory, there were also other guests here, and thinking that the performance of himself and the others just now was seen by those guests, Kim Tae-hee felt that his face was slightly hot.

So it's better to leave quickly.

Li Zehan and the three of them had no opinion on this, and after obtaining some small souvenirs from the staff and taking photos with them, they left the Nightmare Fear Factory.

At their next stop, Li Zehan and their destination was the Cos Ice Cream Specialty Store in Niagara's Lakeside Town.

Frightened, Kim Tae-hee and the others said they needed to eat some dessert to comfort their souls.

And Cos's ice cream is definitely an excellent choice.

Cos was first founded in 1983 in Prince Edward Island, Canada, as a small factory known for producing high-quality ice cream, until 2006, when they launched cheese, chocolate and other products.

In a poll by Canada's Readers Digest, Cos was named "Canada's Best Ice Cream." In 2008, Cos was selected by the travel magazine Tauck orld Discovery and won first place in the "World's Best Ice Cream" category.

Cos has a total of 10 stores in Canada, located in Prince Edward Island, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Banff, Alberta, and Whistler, British Columbia, with six of them concentrated in Prince Edward Island, where all Cos ice cream is made.

Therefore, it is also common to see the spectacular sight of nearly 100 people queuing up to buy ice cream at the entrance of the store.

Li Zehan and the others have come to the lakeside town of Niagara, naturally there is no reason to miss this Cos ice cream.

Li Zehan has already decided that the dessert for dinner today will also be this Cos ice cream.

Anyway, there are so many flavors, so you don't have to worry about getting tired of eating at all.

In small town Niagara, this Cos ice cream shop sells a variety of cow-themed goods in addition to ice cream, and when they first stepped into the store, they successfully attracted the attention of Kim Tae-hee and others.

In this regard, Li Zehan could only sigh secretly in his heart, and was ready to carry a bunch of things to the car later.

The ice cream parlor originated in Prince Edard Island, Canada, and they have a total of 32 flavors of ice cream.

After watching it for a while, Li Zehan directly ordered the most classic Gooey Mooey, oie Coie and Moo Crunch ice cream.

Kim Tae-hee and the three of them each chose one of the three ice creams, and then chose another one to match, and asked the clerk to help make the ice cream cone.

The cones in the store are all made on the spot, and the milky smell on the face makes Li Zehan and the four of them look forward to the ice cream here.

After getting the ice cream they ordered, the four of them couldn't wait to start tasting it.

Then a series of exclamations came from the mouths of the four.

After solving the ice cream in their hands, Li Zehan and the four of them left the ice cream shop unsatisfied, ready to go to the last destination before lunch.

Li Zehan: Their next stop was Lake Ontario.

The choice to go there was exactly what Kim Tae-hee and Olivia meant, and the nice scenery there was just the perfect backdrop for the photos.

After some searching, Li Zehan and the others found a carriage that could take them to Lake Ontario.

Riding in a horse-drawn carriage and watching the street scenery on both sides of the road is also unique.

On the left side are basically 18~19th century garden villas, each with its own style, and the design of several of them is very alloy Tae-hee's mind, which made her want to buy it.

However, she knew in her heart that even if they had enough financial strength to buy the house, they would not have many opportunities to move in, and it would be a ruin to buy it.

So the idea came quickly, and it was obtained quickly.

Lake Ontario (Ontario, Lake) is the world's fourteenth largest lake, bordered by Ontario, Canada to the north, the Niagara Peninsula to the south, and New York State in the United States. It is one of the five largest freshwater lakes in North America and belongs to the largest group of freshwater lakes in the world.

The name "Ontario" comes from the Iroquois word Skanadario, meaning "Lake of Beauty" or "Lake of Glitter", from which the Canadian province of Ontario got its name.

When we arrived at Lake Ontario, there was a small pavilion by the lake.

In terms of design, it is very simple and simple, but it will give people a different charm when you look at it.

On the other side of the lake is the Niagara Fortress, and the three flags of France, Britain and the United States fly high above the fort.

This Niagara fort on the shores of Lake Ontario is also part of the U.S. Coastal Trail and attracts 100,000 visitors each year. In the small town of Niagara's lakefront, there is also a fort that once confronted it to life and death - Fort George.

Twenty years ago, the Niagara River Basin was also full of war. In order to rob the Great Lakes region of rich resources, France, Britain, the United States, and the indigenous people fought several fierce wars here. In Fort Niagara, France, Britain and the United States took turns to sit in the village, while the native Indians, armed with swords, bows and spears, became permanent supporting characters, and were almost wiped out by the powerful powers with strong ships and guns.

Now run by a non-profit association, Old Niagara Castle is open daily to visitors and is one of the symbols of the peaceful border between the United States and Canada.

Further to the right, is the town of American Youth, where Fort Niagara is located.

After listening to Cheng Shiqing's explanation, Li Zehan picked up his camera and began to carry out his mission, looking for a suitable location with Kim Tae-hee to take commemorative photos for the three.
