Toronto, is still my one of favourite cities in Canada

Toronto

Toronto still is my favorite city in Canada, even though I went there by thousands and thousands times.

Toronto definitly can be a symbol for Canada, even is more popular for visitors and foreigners than Ottawa. Wikipedia shows, "Toronto is the most populous city in Canada, the provincial capital of Ontario, and the centre of the Greater Toronto Area, the most populous metropolitan area in Canada." 

Due to near to Toronto I went to there so many times. Every time, I just go to different places of Toronto. Also, there are so many fantastic places I will visit later. In this post, I will show the most impressive place when I went to there. 

CN Tower
"It is now the 3rd tallest tower in the world and remain the tallest free-standing structure in the Western Hemisphere, a signature icon of Toronto's skyline, and a symbol of Canada, attracting more than two million international visitors annually. In 1995, the CN Tower was declared one of the modern Seven Wonders of the World by the American Society of Civil Engineers. It also belongs to the World Federation of Great Towers, where it holds second-place ranking.""Wikipedia said.

Actually, I went to CN Tower by twice time. The first time, I went to there with the school when I just arrived in Canada. Everything is fresh, my friends and me are shocked when we saw the CN Tower at the first time. The second time, I took my mom to hang out in the Toronto last year. My mom had the same feeling as mine before. We went to EdgeWalk
and the 360 Restaurant in the CN Tower. Those experiences are amazing for us. People can see the whole scene of Toronto when you stand in the EdgeWalk of the CN Tower. I strongly recommend you go to the CN Tower who want to see the whole scene of Toronto.

Experience in French culture of Ottawa - Montreal - Quebec City

I was in Parliament Hill of Ottawa
Canada is a bi-lingual official languages country, which are English and French. Therefore, French culture is also the major culture in Canada, except the English culture. When visitors come to Canada, they can experience in these two different cultures at the same time. 

Actually, I have gone to Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City for three times with friends and my family in different seasons. I really like to these three cities in Ontario, because they make you feel like walking through the North America to  Europe right away.

Ottawa is a place which has to be mentioned in Canada, because it is the capital city of Canada. Wikipedia showed, "It stands on the south bank of the Ottawa River in the eastern portion of Southern Ontario." 

In my the most impressive memory in Ottawa, it is about Parliament Hill"Parliament Hill (FrenchColline du Parlement), colloquially known as The Hill, is an area of Crown land on the southern banks of the Ottawa River in downtown Ottawa, Ontario. Its Gothic revival suite of buildings serves as the home of the Parliament of Canada and contains a number of architectural elements of national symbol importance. Parliament Hill attracts approximately 3 million visitors each year." Wikipedia summarized.

Montreal and Quebec City really stand for French culture in Canada. I love these two cities so much because they are different than other cities in Canada, which are so "France" style. They make you enjoy in the totally different Europe culture in Canada. 

In Montreal, I would like to say Notre-Dame Basilica. According to Wikipedia, "It is a basilica in the historic district of Old Montreal in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The church is located at 110 Notre-Dame Street West at the corner of Saint Sulpice Street. The church's Gothic Revival architecture is among the most dramatic in the world."

In Quebec City, the Old Quebec is my most favorite place I
would like to go. Just walk on the path in the Old Quebec, you can feel the traditional French culture and lifestyle, which are elegant and peaceful. 

If you would like experience the French culture, I think these three cities will be your the best choices in Canada.

Algonquin Provincial Park - the best place of the scene of maple leaves

Algonquin Provincial Park


Which things do you think can stand for Canada? Did you see Flag of Canada? The answer is maple leaf.

This post I will introduce Algonquin Provincial Park, which I went to there in October, 2015. "The park is considered part of the 'border' between Northern Ontario and Southern Ontario. The park is in an area of transition between northern coniferous forest and southern deciduous forest. This unique mixture of forest types, and the wide variety of environment diversity of plant and animal species. It is also an important site for wildlife research." (From Wikipedia)

I think Algonquin Provincial Park is the best place of the scene of maple leaves from September to October. In these two months, they are the best time of the fall season for maple leaves in Canada. The most impressive memory was seeing moose when we were driving in the park. It is very rare to see moose just on the roadside even you go to Algonquin Provincial Park, because they do not appear the areas very often, which travelers are always wandering. I was very lucky and happy to see it and photographed it.

Also, it is a good place for hiking and fishing because of its natural and habitat environment, which has AlgonquinFisheries Assessment Unit (AFAU)

If you are an outdoor enthusiast, I think Algonquin Provincial Park will be your right choice when you are in Canada. I think it will provide you a fantastic tour in there.
