39. Next to the tower, a number of high-rise buildings rise from the ground. The whole of Toronto is a very new and vibrant city. 40After visiting the tower and surrounding buildings, Yunluo and An Chuyu came to the nearby Lake Ontario to prepare for a boat trip.

Lake OntarioLake is one of the five largest freshwater lakes in North America and the largest group of freshwater lakes in the world. At 19,554 square kilometers, Lake Ontario is the smallest of the Great Lakes, but it has more water than Lake Erie, with an average depth of 86 meters and a maximum depth of 244 meters.

Toronto's Chinatown forgot the name of the dish and temporarily named it steamed shrimp with tofu. 50 seafood feast Toronto's Chinatown had to rush the next day. Yunluo and An met for the first time, and they were full of food and drink.

I went back to the hotel to rest. This time, Yunluo and An Chuyu lived in economic chain hotels, with affordable prices and good accommodation conditions, which were very comfortable. 51 Hotel Toronto was tired from a long day, collapsed out of bed, and fell asleep.

Depart from Toronto early in the morning and drive three hours to Qiandao Lake. Exceptionally cold mornings! The thick coat still couldn't block the cold air, and it was shivering with cold. The upper and lower teeth are constantly "fighting". Boarding the sightseeing cruise, there was a bit of heating. I ordered a hot breakfast drink, and it was much better. Enjoy breakfast while enjoying the lake and landscape.

52 The flag of Canada fluttered on the ship, and it was indeed worthy of being a maple leaf country, and even the national flag was a striking red maple leaf. 53 Cruise ships began to sail to the small island in the lake. 54 At this time, the narrator began to explain that Qiandao Lake was composed of 1,864 large and small islands. Connects the northeastern part of Lake Ontario to the St. Lawrence River. The dividing line in the center of the lake divides the lake into two.

To the south is the U.S. state of New York, and to the north is the Canadian province of Ontario. The islands are dotted with stars on the St. Lawrence River, like a fairytale wonderland. Most of these islands are private estates, where wealthy Americans and Canadians buy islands and build lake villas until the summer warms up. Come here for a vacation.

Usually the houses on the island are empty. 55565758 the island in the picture below is HeartIsland, the castle on the island was built here by a wealthy man who owns many hotels in the United States, originally intended to give to his beloved wife, unfortunately his wife died before it was completed, the rich man was sad, ordered the construction to be stopped, and the unfinished castle became abandoned in 70 years.

Therefore, it is extraordinarily quiet and tranquil, and it is really a paradise for the rich to recuperate. 63 Subsequently, the pleasure boat docked. Yunluo was attracted by the two maple trees of a family on the shore, they were so eye-catching.

Yunluo and An Chuyu rushed to Ottawa, the capital of Canada, non-stop. Although Ottawa is the capital of Canada, it is not a very large city, with an urban population of less than 1 million. Ottawa merged with the suburbs and surrounding small towns to eventually become a larger regional metropolis. Yunluo and Ann first met and came to Ottawa's landmark, Parliament Hill.

The Houses of Parliament were originally built in the mid-19th century, but unfortunately destroyed by a fire in 1916 and later rebuilt and completed in 1922. Today's Capitol Hill is a classic Gothic-looking building. The 90-metre-high tower towering in the center of the Parliament building is the Peace Tower, which has a striking bell that rings at regular intervals.

(Tips: If you want to go in and visit, you need to get a free admission ticket at the visitor center opposite Capitol Hill, the ticket is divided into time slots, and the whole visit takes about 1 hour.) For more information, please refer to the official website of Capitol Hill to get your ticket and get ready to queue up for security.

The beautiful pictures below are all pictures of the Ottawa cityscape taken from the tower. 7374 A city that is too beautiful to say, like a fairytale wonderland. The sun-drenched Ottawa River flows slowly through the city, with a bridge connecting the two banks. Far and near. Countless colorful and colorful trees dot the city like stars.

A few buildings are scattered among the trees, and they are as beautiful as an oil painting. 75 A church in the Gothic style. Retro building next to 7677 Capitol Hill. 78Because Ottawa is small, it doesn't take long to get around. Yunluo and An met for the first time and couldn't wait to go to their favorite Montreal.

There is the most desirable red maple in this trip! Montreal Montreal is the second largest city in Canada, located in the province of Quebec, with a population of about 1.6 million, the official language is French, and it is also the most French-speaking city outside of Paris. A considerable number of its inhabitants are of French descent. Montreal is home to a famous mountain, Montroyal.

It is also a famous spot to enjoy the autumn leaves. The city of Montreal is named after the mountain. In the 70s, Montreal was famous for hosting the Olympic Games. Took on huge debts to build the Olympic Park and competition venues, all of which were paid off in full in the 90s. As a result, the city has endured a long economic recession.

Urban construction is slow, and most of the buildings in the city seem old. 79On the way to the Botanical Garden, I saw the famous Leaning Tower of the Olympic Games. 80 arrived at the gate of the botanical garden, ready to buy a ticket to enter the garden. In other places, the staff greeted Yunluo and said 'howareyoudoing', and when they got here, they said 'bonjour'. It's a little unaccustomed.

Try to communicate with the park staff in English, they are not fluent in English either. Communication is still a bit difficult, so I have to give up. I wanted to go to the Montreal Botanical Garden because it is not only one of the best places to see the foliage, but also the second largest in the world and the largest in North America. The park is divided into 10 greenhouses and 30 outdoor parks with their own themes.

There are also representatives of Asian gardens: Japanese gardens and Chinese gardens. Because this is a trip to enjoy the maple trees, the goal of Yunluo and An's first encounter is locked on the red maple tree. Entrance to the Botanical Gardens. It's not too big, but the information provided to visitors is ample and there are bilingual displays in English and French. 81Finally, I found the red maple tree I had been dreaming of in the botanical garden!

If you don't take dozens of photos, how can you afford to come all the way through the mountains and rivers. 828384 autumn is coming. In the botanical garden, the grass is sprinkled with golden autumn leaves. 85. The garden is full of autumn breath. 86 Japanese Gardens. 87 passed by an old tree that looked like an old grandfather, which was very special. 88 passed by a field of reeds.

The afternoon sun is not too strong, and the sunlight shines brightly on the reed leaves, and the tassels of the reeds are inlaid with gold edges, forming a dreamy light and shadow effect. Yunluo picked up the camera, seized this good opportunity, and took a lot of "sunset reed photos". A red maple tree in the 89909192 Botanical Garden looks particularly red in the sun.

93 Every corner is a cluster of red. It was almost six o'clock after 9495 had finished visiting the botanical garden, and the hungry people were ready to forage for food. Montreal, known as "Little Paris", is inevitably a place to try the local French cuisine. Yunluo and An met for the first time and came to a romanticly decorated French restaurant near the city hall.

Ordered Yunluo's favorite steak. ps Every time I eat steak Yunluo orders well-done, because Yunluo likes to eat cooked food, which makes Yunluo's friends and waiters very surprised, but under normal circumstances, medium is the best, and this kind of beef is the most tender, and there is a little redness in it. 96 The bread is freshly baked, hot, and crunchy.

There is also a fresh vegetable salad of high quality. 9798's long-awaited main course is here. Two steaks and a big leg of lamb! Here, I must declare that not all Yunluo eats alone! ps, that leg of lamb is so delicious! The meat is very fluffy and delicious! What a real meal! To experience the romance of the French.

Deliberately asked the waiter to light the red candle on the table. 99 desserts, tiramisu. The taste is also fantastic, melt-in-your-mouth feeling. In such a cold place, eating some dessert and red meat can help keep the body warm. 100 full of food and drink, planning to walk around the town hall, I don't know if the weather is too cold, there are only a few people scattered on the streets of the city center.

At this time, I deeply realized that Canada is vast and sparsely populated. There are so few people that it's even a little scary. I don't know if it is deliberately created to create a retro effect, the streets are made of stone slabs, and the very uneven pavement is reminiscent of those 19th-century European street scenes in oil paintings. Montreal City Hall at night 101 lit up with purple lights.

It looks unusually solemn and majestic. 102 night in Montreal, the temperature has dropped to below zero, it is the coldest time in these days, the wind is also strong, plus there are a few people on the street, Yunluo and An Chuyu decided to go back to the hotel early to rest. 103 summing up today's loot. Canadian specialty bought at the supermarket: maplesyrup.

Maple syrup is extracted from the maple tree, which contains a lot of starch in the trunk of the maple tree, which becomes sucrose in winter and sweet sap in warm weather. Maple syrup is less sweet than honey and sucrose, but it is rich in minerals and organic acids. Usually 40 kg of maple sap can only be processed into 1 kg of maple syrup.

Therefore, maple syrup is really a precious health supplement. 104 The red maple leaves collected today are carefully selected from the maple leaves all over the ground. Get ready to go home and make bookmarks. As an eternal memorial.

The last day of the itinerary is from Montreal and passes through the canyon ausablechasm of the Adirondack Park. Then head south back to New York. This time it was to enter the United States, and the customs officers in the United States carefully checked Yunluo's passport and visa, and then successfully let Yunluo clear customs. Today's weather is the best, sunny with blue skies and white clouds.

Yunluo's camera can finally be played. The picture below is one of Yunluo's favorite photos, with a blue sky and white clouds. The colorful woods are filled with the smell of autumn and a hint of late summer. What a harmonious natural landscape. 106 A bridge connects the two ends of the canyon. 107 The taste of autumn has been deeply integrated into this painting.

No, it's in this picture. 108 At this time, the geese in the sky began to flock in flocks. There is a shape, orderly flight south, in order to cope with the coming cold winter. The 109 creek slowly flows downstream, and begins to merge into a large river, and finally plunges into a canyon dozens of meters deep, with a fierce momentum. 110 rocks between canyons.

After hundreds of millions of years of erosion, a unique landform has been formed. In the forest of 111 Canyon, such a unique maple tree is found, with green and red accents that show the confrontation between autumn and summer. 112 Hiking out of the canyon, I passed a lawn sprinkled with autumn leaves! It was four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was the most beautiful, gentle, and graceful time of the day.

Yunluo excitedly took out his camera and prepared to "do a big job" on this grass. I adjusted the shooting parameters and took different photos, but I still like the feeling of the picture below. Yunluo simply lay on the ground, the aperture was wide open, and the tree trunks and fences in the distance were already very "empty", but the sparkling golden light formed by the sunlight was clearly visible.

The focus is set on a golden maple leaf not far from the clouds, so that the angle is as low as possible, and the wonderful moments of nature are observed and recorded from an "equal" perspective as much as possible. Seeing this photo, Yunluo always thought of the romantic piano song "Whispers of Private Days" that he loved to listen to in his childhood. It was one of Yunluo's favorite piano songs, Yunluo at that time.

Every time I hear this piano music, I always think of such a scene: on an autumn afternoon, the sun is warm and warm, sprinkled on the golden trees, shining a little golden light, leisurely and comfortable. This photo is exactly what Yunluo has been envisioning in his mind all along. 113 This is a path that leads you to the depths of the maple forest...... A view that will make you infinitely reverie in the depths.

Unparalleled ...... The last day of the 119 trip ended with photographing countless maple trees and collecting countless maple leaves. The car drove for five or six hours to reach New York, and Yunluo suddenly felt exhausted. In the first four days, I sat in the car for so long, went to so many places, ran so many distances, carried so heavy cameras and lenses, and took so many hundreds of photos.

I didn't feel tired, perhaps because of the strong desire to appreciate the maple leaves, which kept Yunluo energetic and excited. On this trip, Yunluo was very satisfied, because all the wishes to be fulfilled had been fulfilled, all the attractions he wanted to go to, the beautiful maple trees were seen, and the fiery red maple leaves were collected.

However, Canada is such a beautiful and vast place, Yunluo hopes to have the opportunity to go to the Maple Leaf Country again to unveil her and explore more and more beautiful places for her! For the first time to come to vancouver, Yunluo was overjoyed, lamenting the blue sky and white clouds that have never been common in China, lamenting the uncrowded city, and this sudden relaxation.

Yunluo realizes that this is the beginning of the vacation. This is the Canada that I have been thinking about, and I have finally arrived. In other words, the fatigue of 11 hours really disappeared. However, jet lag and sleepiness still hit the brain. There's nothing more important than catching up on sleep. 33richmond34richmond flies from the capital to Vancouver. (To be continued.) )
