Chapter 901: Toronto Travelogue V

The Niagara Falls boat cruise is definitely an iconic tour in Niagara.

The project has a nice name, Maid of mist.

The name of the Maiden in the Mist comes from a poignant Indian legend, it is said that according to ancient tradition, a young girl was chosen to marry one of the wisest and oldest old men in the tribe, and the girl refused to comply, she was determined to escape, she untied the canoe on the river bank in the middle of the night, rowed the wooden pulp, but she was not strong, and the canoe gradually wrapped itself in the rapids and rushed downstream.

Of course, since 2013, the cruise ship has actually been renamed Hornbloer, but everyone still calls it the same as before.

The cruise ship was opened in 1846, when it was always a businessman in the United States who took over the cruise ship business on both sides of the United States and Canada, called the Maid of the Mist Cruise, the business was particularly good, maybe he got carried away, one year he forgot to renew the license fee, the Canadian government took the opportunity to terminate the contract, and he started a new business on the Canadian side, opening this Hornblower Niagara cruise ship. But to this day, people talk about taking a cruise in Niagara Falls, even on the Canadian side, it's still called the Maid of the Mist.

Since its opening, the Maid of the Mist has become one of the longest-running tourist attractions in North America. The boat can accommodate up to 600 passengers, with departures every 15 minutes during the day. The Maid of the Mist cruise takes visitors directly to the American Falls on the American side and the Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side, giving you that special and immersive experience.

At the entrance of the boat on the opposite side of the American Falls, each passenger will be given a red raincoat, after all, the cruise ship will sail very close to the waterfall, and if you don't wear a raincoat, you will definitely be a soup chicken.

"Okay, let's put the phone and camera in the sealed bag first. Lee Taekhan said to Kim Tae-hee and the others.

"Fortunately, I brought an underwater camera, otherwise I would have been very mad if I couldn't have taken pictures of such a beautiful landscape. Kim Tae-hee said as he took out the underwater camera from his bag.

Then I threw him an infinite combo. Olivia said while striking a boxing gesture at Li Zehan.

"Girl, I've been so afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and it's easy to get into trouble for myself. Li Zehan looked at Olivia with a smile and said.

"Anyway, you don't dare to do anything to me, at most you just play tricks to scare me. Olivia said disapprehantly.

"You can try, but I have a lot of experience in dealing with problem children like you, and I can definitely make you realize your mistakes. Li Zehan patted her head and said.

"Whoever is afraid of whom, let the horse come. Olivia said not to be outdone.

"Can't you two settle down for a while, fight every few minutes, you don't bother, we are all annoyed. Kim Tae-hee said to the two with a straight face.

"My dear, you also saw it, it's not that I took the initiative to provoke trouble, but that this girl has nothing to do and always provokes me. Li Zehan spread his hands and said innocently.

"Who made you have a face that people can't help but provoke you. Olivia said with a smile.

This is the first time I've heard that. Li Zehan twitched the corner of his mouth and said.

"As your dear friend, I have the obligation to help you understand yourself better, and you don't have to thank me too much, which is what I should do. Olivia patted Li Zehan on the shoulder and said.

"Girl, I can't express my gratitude to you in words, so I have the urge to push you off the boat when I get on board. Li Zehan coughed lightly twice and said seriously.

"I'm not the kind of person who wants to reap the rewards for doing good deeds, so you might as well dismiss this idea. Olivia said with a sneer.

Kim Tae-hee walked directly between the two, looked at the two of them expressionlessly, and then handed the raincoat to the two.

Li Zehan and Olivia understood what she meant in seconds, and honestly began to put on raincoats for themselves.

After all four of them changed into raincoats, they boarded the cruise ship with the other tourists.

About five minutes later, the boat departed from the other side of the American Falls, and as the boat approached the American Falls and the Bridal Veil Falls, the mist from the waterfalls continued to hit the face, forming a beautiful rainbow under the sunlight.

Gradually approaching the horseshoe-shaped waterfall, tourists can see the entire arc of the horseshoe-shaped waterfall from the boat, but it is not complete, and the water mist will always cover part of the waterfall, as if the lute is half-covered.

Under the horseshoe-shaped waterfall, one raised its head, which made the four people stunned.

It is difficult for Li Zehan and the four of them to describe the feeling of that moment, but one thing is certain, that is, this must be something that all four of them will never forget.

The vast water seemed to come from the sky, and I saw the white behemoth, roaring and smashing down from above the head, thundering.

At this time, the water poured on the deck also began to grow, and sometimes Li Zehan and the others had to bend down to avoid the water that was splashed down from time to time, otherwise the pain of the 'rain' on their faces was not a joke.

Li Zehan lifted his wet bangs, trying to look up and remember the magnificent waves in front of him, but he didn't last long and still lost.

A boat trip to Niagara Falls is worth experiencing a downpour, and handing out a thin raincoat to everyone before boarding the boat is definitely a thing to praise.

Although when you are really close to the waterfall, it is not very useful, but it is better than nothing.

Depending on where you are departing, the color of the raincoat will vary, with red raincoats departing from Canada and blue raincoats departing from the United States.

Although there is a layer of raincoat protection, but in the environment of strong winds, waves and fog, it is indeed necessary to pay great attention to waterproofing, especially photographic equipment, electronic equipment, etc.

Looking at the tourists around who are unable to record this moment with photographic equipment due to lack of preparation.

This made Kim Tae-hee even more proud of his decision to bring an underwater camera.

When the cruise was about to end, Li Zehan and the others also quickly gathered together and began to take commemorative photos.

Although their respective images are a little embarrassed, their mood has not been affected by this, but is not generally good.

However, when they returned to the shore, they regretted that they had not booked a hotel around the waterfall, so that they could have a place to sit and tidy up.

It's really not practical to drive back to the Welsh Hotel like this, soaking wet.

After some tossing, the four finally found a place where they could change their clothes.

After the break, the four of them prepared to head to the observation deck, intending to appreciate the beauty of Niagara Falls from a different perspective.

The area around Niagara Falls is actually quite bustling, with many high-end hotels for those who come to see the falls.

Coming to the observation deck located directly above the horseshoe-shaped waterfall, Li Zehan and the four of them were once again silent and addicted to the scenery in front of them.

The water slowly traveled along the flat ground, and suddenly poured down, plunging into a deep valley, rising white smoke.

The water is a clear green, especially noticeable at the cliffs, a beautiful light green that is almost transparent.

Li Zehan and the four of them quietly watched the roaring water flow stunned for a long time, completely impressed by the greatness of nature.

After leaving the observation deck with hundreds of new photos, Li Zehan and the others went to experience the next project arranged for them by Cheng Shiqing.

The next thing they want to experience is the hirlpool Aero Car.

The Niagara Maelstrom, a unique wonder in North America, is a wild whirlpool where the rushing Niagara River turns sharply in the canyon. Visitors can take the irepool Aero Car cable car to the top of the whirlpool and feel the thrilling whirlpool rapids. The cable car was designed by the Spaniards and has been in use since 1916 and has been around for 100 years.

Because of this, after taking the cable car, Cheng Shiqing and Olivia began to study the cable car, but instead left aside the main purpose of viewing.

Li Zehan and Kim Tae-hee glanced at each other, both very helpless.

Fortunately, after the cable car departed, the attention of the two was quickly re-attracted by the surrounding scenery.

After finishing the high-altitude sightseeing cable car experience, Li Zehan and the four of them planned to go to Niagara Falls for a walk.

Clifton Hill is a bustling street in Niagara Falls that comes alive at night.

There are plenty of fun places to visit, full of restaurants, candy shops, hotels, souvenir shops, movie theaters, bars, famous haunted houses, and of course, casinos, like a miniature version of Las Vegas.

And this is also the beginning of Lee Taekhan's nightmare, Kim Tae-hee and Olivia enter shopping mode after seeing those souvenir shops.

In just one hour, Li Zehan went back to the car and put things on twice.

"Honey, you can take it easy, I've bought a lot of things in the past two days. Looking at Kim Tae-hee, who was still hovering in the windows of those souvenir shops, Li Zehan hesitated, but still spoke.

"It looks like I've really bought a lot of things, so let's do it first. Kim Tae-hee thought for a moment and nodded meaningfully and said.

"Shall we settle tonight's dinner here in Waterfall City or go back to the town?" asked Li Zehan to Kim Tae-hee and the others.

Both Sung Shiqing and Olivia said that it would be good for Lee Taek-han and Kim Tae-hee to decide this issue.

"Just settle it out in the restaurant of the Welsh hotel. Kim Tae-hee thought for a moment and said.

Li Zehan and the three of them have no opinion on this, anyway, the restaurant evaluation of the Welsh hotel is not bad.

"Even, the next trip is a special arrangement for you and your sister-in-law, so I won't go with you and Ollie later, and when you're done, come back here and pick us up. Cheng Shiqing said to Li Zehan with a smile.

"How can this be done, let's go out to play together, how can we just leave you behind. Kim Tae-hee said with a slight frown.

"What itinerary have you arranged for us?" asked Li Zehan curiously.

"Do you see the Ferris wheel over there, that's the itinerary I arranged for you, you and your sister-in-law will definitely like it." Cheng Shiqing curled the corners of her mouth and said.

"The arrangement of this trip really won my heart. Li Zehan gave her a thumbs up and said appreciatively.

"Although I feel very hungry on this trip, the point now is that we shouldn't just leave Shiqing and them behind. Kim Tae-hee patted Li Zehan's arm and said coquettishly.

"Sister-in-law, we really don't have to do anything. Cheng Shiqing waved her hand and said.

"My dear and I also need time in the world of two, so you can go on a date with confidence. Olivia also grabbed Cheng Shiqing's arm and said.

Under the persuasion of Sung Shiqing and Olivia, Lee Taek-han and Kim Tae-hee temporarily said goodbye to the two of them after telling them to pay attention to the things they should pay attention to, and prepared to go to the location of the Ferris wheel.

The Ferris wheel was born at the end of the 19th century, and the first Ferris wheel was designed by American George Faris in 1893 for the Chicago Exposition.

For families, a ride on the Ferris wheel is a great way to see the falls, and this Ferris wheel at Clifton Hill is located 53 meters above Niagara Falls, where you can see all the iconic sights of Niagara Falls in a romantic and reassuring way.

Of course, it's also a great date spot for couples.

Especially after night falls, when Niagara Falls is lit up in a rainbow of lights, a ride on the Ferris wheel is sure to leave unforgettable memories.

It's a pity that when Li Zehan and them arrived, the time was still a little early, so when they took the Ferris wheel, they couldn't see that kind of scene.

"Don't have any bad ideas. Before boarding the Ferris wheel, Kim Tae-hee said to Lee Tae-han warningly.

If it was just the two of them, Kim Tae-hee wouldn't mind doing something more intimate with Lee Taekhan.

But there was also an elderly foreign couple in the carriage with them, which made her a little unable to let go.

It takes about 12 to 15 minutes to complete the Ferris wheel.

When they entered the carriage, Lee Taek-han and Kim Tae-hee were infected by the warm atmosphere between the elderly couple who were in the same carriage as them.

To the surprise of the two of them, when their carriage was about to reach the highest point, the elderly couple came up to the two and asked Li Zehan to help them take pictures when the carriage reached the highest point.

Li Zehan and the others happily agreed, and took over the camera of the elderly couple.

With more than ten seconds left before the carriage reached the highest point, the elderly couple kissed together very naturally.

Li Zehan was surprised, but the movements in his hands were not slow, and when the carriage reached the highest point, he successfully filmed the scene in front of him.

This is also thanks to the continuous photographing of Kim Tae-hee and her sisters in the past few days, which has made his photography skills improve slightly.

After returning the camera to the couple, Lee Taekhan struggled for a while, feeling that they couldn't do nothing, so he pulled Kim Tae-hee over and gave her a quick kiss on the mouth.

and successfully filmed this scene with a mobile phone.

Although his waist was ravaged for more than a minute because of this, Li Zehan thought that the sacrifice was still worth it.
