Thirty-eight days in Ontario

The next day, early in the morning, Su Zhen went out alone, since he came to Canada, it was natural to have a fun, Ontario as a famous tourist destination in the world, the famous Niagara Falls is not far away.

Niagara Falls is the world's largest transnational waterfall, just on the Niagara River, is formed by the flow of Lake Erie to Lake Ontario, it is not a single waterfall, but composed of three parts, from large to small in order of horseshoe waterfall, American Falls and bridal veil waterfall.

However, only the horseshoe falls are located in Canada, and the other two belong to the United States. However, due to the orientation of the waterfalls, you can see the whole of the three waterfalls in Canada, but only the side can be seen in the United States.

In addition to watching the waterfall from the shore, tourists can also take a cruise on the shore to feel its majestic momentum up close, because the waterfall falls from the sky and hits the water, forming a large amount of fog. Legend has it that the Indians who lived here in the past had the same custom as the Chinese people who used to worship the river gods, and on one day of the harvest season every year, all the maidens of the tribe were gathered, and the chief shot arrows at the sky, and the maidens closest to the sword were sent to the canoe as a representative, and together with the offerings, they went down the torrent from the upstream and fell into the waterfall. Therefore, the mist of the waterfall is regarded as the embodiment of a maiden.

Su Zhen also took a boat to experience it up close, but unfortunately he couldn't take the famous "Girl in the Mist" cruise ship, according to the introduction, this cruise ship has been used as a cruise ship since 1846 to lead tourists to watch the waterfall, and it has a history of more than 150 years, but this cruise ship is indeed from the United States, and it will take a lot of time to pass.

So Su Zhen took a cruise ship on the Canadian side, the cruise ship is not small, but it seems very small in front of the majestic waterfall, just a little closer, the cruise ship will be swayed by the impact of the rapids, and the overwhelming splash will come to the face, even if you wear a raincoat, you can't completely block it, so the close-up waterfall is only suitable for summer, and it will freeze half to death in winter.

After feeling the majestic waterfall, Su Zhenyou visited some nearby scenic spots, and also took a Ferris wheel, from the Ferris wheel you can clearly see the waterfall, from the air to watch the waterfall, it is a unique flavor, the most Su Zhen found a small restaurant nearby for lunch

After lunch, Su Zhen prepared to go to the next stop, which is Toronto, the largest city in Canada and the capital of Ontario.

Speaking of Toronto, Su Zhen always remembers that for a long time in his previous life, he always thought that Toronto was the capital of Canada.

In fact, this is true in most people's concepts, when it comes to Canada, the first reaction is more Toronto or Vancouver, as for the real capital Ottawa, there are far fewer people who know the Tao. This is similar to Brazil, when it comes to Brazil, many people think that Rio de Janeiro or São Paulo is the capital of Brazil, but in fact the capital is Brasilia.

Niagara is not far from Toronto, and it only takes more than two hours to drive, so it is faster to take a train, but Su Zhen still takes a boat.

Of course, because of the large gap between the upper and lower reaches of the Niagara River, in addition to Niagara Falls, there are also many rapids and small waterfalls, so there is no direct passage, and the freighters are transported through the diverted Welland Canal.

So Su Zhen first took a car to the plain lake area downstream, and then took a boat from here to enter Lake Ontario.

In order to be able to better appreciate the scenery along the way, Su Zhen simply rented a yacht. The captain was an old, bearded man who, according to his own words, had been sailing on the Niagara River and Lake Ontario for more than thirty years.

Ontario at the beginning of July is very beautiful, all kinds of water birds can be seen everywhere, and they are not afraid of people at all, and several seagulls stopped on the top of the boat to rest, among all the birds, Su Zhen can only recognize swans and seagulls, but the swans here are not all white, more gray, under the guidance of the old captain, Su Zhen took out the bread crust prepared by the old captain in advance, which is specially used to feed the birds to tourists.

Seeing that there was something to eat, many nearby birds flew down, and the swan almost knocked Su Zhen on his head. You don't need Su Zhen to feed it, you just use it to rob it, it's completely a robber. Seeing Su Zhen's embarrassed appearance, the captain grinned immeasurably.

He told Su Zhen that Ontario's birds are not fuel-efficient lamps, because of the good protection, the relationship between birds and people is very close, the number of reproduction is very fast, some birds are used to being fed, and they begin to be domineering, especially swans, often chasing tourists for food, and if they don't give it, they will bite people, which can be called the overlord of Lake Ontario.

Seeing that Su Zhen was having fun, the old captain went back to the wheelhouse to drink coffee, the yacht has an automatic navigation system, so he is not afraid of running away, Su Zhen saw the captain walk away, so he turned his eyes to the swans.

These swans are all gray swans, in fact, they are called geese in China, it seems that these gray swans have a very good life, they are very fat, and their feathers are also shiny. Su Zhen looked at those fat swans, and became greedy, and couldn't help but think of these gray swans, don't they all say that toads want to eat swan meat, Su Zhen really hasn't tasted swans, anyway, this is on the big lake, there are no other boats around, a few swans, and the ghost knows what to do.

Just do it, Su Zhen took advantage of the birds' happiness and didn't pay attention, hugged the two swans, and without waiting for the two swans to reflect, they were already carried into the space by Su Zhen, afraid of being discovered by the captain, Su Zhen didn't dare to stay in the space longer, put down the two swans and went out.

As soon as the two swans saw the sudden change of the environment, they quacked a few times at first, but after a while, when they saw that nothing happened, they calmed down and began to wander around the space with a swagger.

The two goose-gossiers soon spotted the pond in the space, quacked excitedly, and drilled down without thinking, but now they found a treasure land, and the countless anchovies and whitebait in the pond were simply delicious for the birds. I saw that every time the two swans dived into the water, they came out with a fish in their mouths, swallowed it in one gulp, and then continued to dive into the water to fish.

In fact, after Su Zhen arrived in the United States, he had already left the anchovies and whitebait in the pond behind, after all, these two kinds of fish are okay in China, although there are relatively few in the market, but it is not nothing, but in the United States, if you take it out, there is no way to explain it at all.

After about half an hour, the captain called Su Zhen to the bow of the ship, and when the old captain pointed to a building in the distance that resembled the Oriental Tower of the sea market, he introduced that it was the Toronto TV Tower, a landmark building in Toronto.

Seeing the Toronto TV Tower means that you will soon be in Toronto. Sure enough, within twenty minutes, the ship was on a dock in Toronto.

Bidding farewell to the old captain, Su Zhen got into a taxi alone and went to Chinatown in downtown Toronto, ready to arrange where to stay today.

Toronto is one of the most diverse cities in the world, with 49% of its residents coming from immigrants from more than 100 nationalities from different countries around the world. In fact, just in January of this year (1998), Toronto was merged from six boroughs to form the new city of Toronto, which has always been considered the most livable city in the world with a very low crime rate, high quality of life and good environment, but it is also the city with the highest consumption level in the whole of Canada.

Walking into Chinatown and looking at the familiar words, Su Zhen was a little surprised, most of them are gathering places for overseas Chinese from China, Hong Kong, Singapore and other regions. There are about 400,000 Chinese living in Toronto, which is a huge proportion for Toronto, which has a total population of only more than 2.7 million.

Because the time was not early, Su Zhen found a better hotel nearby and checked in. Dinner was eaten in a Chinese restaurant, very simple two dishes and one soup, different from the Americanized Chinese restaurant, very authentic Chinese taste, and most of the people in the restaurant were Chinese.

After dinner, Su Zhen walked around Chinatown a little, then went back to the hotel to rest, preparing to visit Toronto again tomorrow.
