Trip Moment recommendations

Drive from Toronto to Kingston's Thousand Islands, where in July the lake water is clear and blue, with over a thousand glacial islands scattered across the surface. The cruise boat glides slowly, with private homes and castles nestled among green trees along the shore, and the breeze carries the coolness of the lake. Without crowded crowds, the natural wild charm and exclusive villas complement each other. A one-day cruise itinerary is relaxing and healing. The glacially formed archipelago offers a peaceful and soothing landscape, making it an excellent short trip to escape the city's hustle and bustle. [Island] Travel Tips 1. July is windy on the lake, so bring a light jacket, sun hat, and sunscreen as UV rays are strong. 2. The cruise has limited shaded areas, so bring your own drinking water and light snacks. 3. Board the boat on time; some islands are private property and landing is prohibited. Do not dock without permission. 4. The lake's reflection is dazzling; sunglasses are recommended, and try to avoid taking photos in the harsh midday light. 5. The drive from Toronto is long, so fill up your gas tank in advance and allow plenty of time for the round trip.

#canadatrip Cons: Overpriced and overrated. Parking is expensive, and food options inside are mostly unhealthy and way too costly for what you get. The overall experience doesn’t match the high ticket and food prices. Definitely not worth it for what’s offered; 1 out of 5. Pros: I visited Canada’s Wonderland this past summer and spent a full day enjoying both the rides and the water park. It was a hot day, so I started with Splash Works; the water area was lively but not overwhelming. There are several pools and slides for every age, and it’s a great place to cool off. The wave pool was a highlight, and there were plenty of shaded spots and chairs to relax between rides. After the water park, I explored the rest of the park and went on a few of the main roller coasters. The sight of the massive tracks and loops from a distance still makes the park feel impressive every time you visit. The atmosphere is energetic but family-friendly; with lots of music, food stands, and people having fun. I ended the day near the main fountain and mountain area, which looks especially beautiful in the sunlight. The water and landscaping give it a resort feel, and it’s a perfect spot to take photos before leaving. Overall, it was a great summer day; well organized, clean, and full of energy. If you plan ahead and arrive early, you can easily make the most of both the water park and the rides.

Just returned from Canada, and the aftereffects are strong. That land has a magic that pulls you out of everyday trivialities—the snowy peaks of the Rockies, the cobblestone streets of Quebec, the Pacific breeze… my phone storage kept filling up again and again. If you’re planning a trip, this straightforward guide should help you avoid some detours. Trip highlights and planning Canada is huge, so it’s unrealistic to see it all at once. It’s best to pick one side first. Western Canada features stunning natural wonders and offers a “visual overload” experience. Eastern Canada is full of French charm, perfect for leisurely wandering. Western Canada (Banff + Vancouver) must-see spots: Banff National Park: Emerald waters of Lake Louise surrounded by mountains, and the even more stunning blue-green Moraine Lake—be sure to go boating. It’s best to drive from Calgary, about 1.5 hours away. During peak season, book your park entry 7 days in advance. Before 10 AM is the best time to avoid crowds. Columbia Icefield: Experience the giant ice explorer vehicle driving onto the Athabasca Glacier in Jasper National Park. It’s a one-of-a-kind feeling. Stanley Park in Vancouver: One of the largest urban parks in North America. Ride along the 8.8 km seawall trail with forest on one side and ocean on the other—extremely relaxing. The park is free. In autumn, the red maples combined with the sea view capture the soul of Vancouver. Capilano Suspension Bridge Park: Walk among the rainforest treetops. Great for adventure lovers and photographers. Free shuttle service is available from downtown. Eastern Canada (Toronto + Quebec) must-see spots: Niagara Falls: It’s recommended to buy a package that includes the Maid of the Mist boat tour to experience the roaring water up close. Remember to wear a raincoat. It’s a 1.5-hour drive from Toronto. Old Quebec City: Filming location for the Korean drama “Goblin” and the only place in North America with preserved city walls. The Fairmont Le Château Frontenac is a landmark. The cobblestone streets of Petit Champlain are lined with colorful shops, giving a European vibe. Entry to the old city is free. Visit in the morning for fewer crowds and better photos. Some buildings require tickets for interior visits. Old Montreal: Visit the Notre-Dame Basilica, whose lavish interior is worth seeing. From Mount Royal Park, enjoy panoramic city views. In autumn, it’s a prime spot for maple leaf viewing. Parliament Hill in Ottawa: The Gothic architecture is grand and solemn. There’s a light show at night. The surrounding area has many canals where you can boat in summer and skate in winter. Food recommendations Poutine (fries with gravy and cheese curds): Canada’s national dish, originating in Quebec. Hot gravy poured over fries and cheese curds. Try it at street-side shops in Old Quebec City. It pairs perfectly with beer. Montreal smoked meat sandwich: Schwartz’s is the most famous. Smoked brisket served on rye bread, juicy and flavorful. Fresh lobster: Available in Vancouver or Toronto. Simply boiled and dipped in butter, it’s incredibly fresh and sweet. Maple syrup and ice wine: Look for the “Canada No.1” label on maple syrup. Wineries near Niagara Falls offer ice wine tastings. It’s very sweet and makes a great gift. Nanaimo bars: A three-layer dessert with a coconut base, custard middle, and chocolate top. Goes well with black coffee. Travel tips Visa and internet: Apply for a visa or eTA in advance. Buy a local SIM card or enable international roaming. You’ll need internet for navigation and research. Currency and tipping: Card payments are common. Carry a small amount of cash (CAD). Restaurants usually expect 13%–15% tip. Clothing and gear: Canada has big temperature swings between morning and night, especially in the Rockies. Bring a light jacket or shell even in summer. Sunscreen and a sun hat are essential on sunny days due to strong UV rays. Hiking shoes are important as there’s a lot of walking in scenic areas. Transportation and driving: Self-driving is highly recommended in Western Canada. In Eastern Canada, VIA trains or buses are convenient between cities. Download offline maps in advance, as some areas in Banff have no signal. Use mobile apps or PRESTO cards for city buses and subways. Museums and closing times: Many art galleries and museums close on Mondays, such as the Royal Ontario Museum. Check official websites and book tickets in advance. Tripods and flash photography are not allowed at the CN Tower, and the observation deck stops admitting visitors at 9 PM. Respect wildlife: Keep your distance from bears, deer, and other animals in Banff or Jasper. Enjoy them from your car and do not feed them.

The August wind carries the salty sea mist and the sweet scent of mangoes, glass skyscrapers flicker in the tropical downpour, and the entire city feels like a newly opened nautical music box, flowing with the polyphony of colonial history and modern trade in the morning light. · -- 🌴 Three-Day Travel Guide Transportation: It is recommended to buy a metro card (you can ride the century-old canal train), the old town area is suitable for exploring on foot Accommodation: Recommended boutique hotels in Casco Viejo, with terraces offering views of the Pacific sunset and church bell tower silhouettes 🌟 Day One: Time and Space Folded · Panama Canal Morning Mist Watch massive ships pass through the Miraflores Locks at 7 a.m., the sound of steel cables rubbing accompanied by Spanish commentary. When the gates open, the waters of two oceans embrace here. Locals say, "This is the most romantic seam on Earth." · Old Town Maze Walk Get lost among colorful colonial buildings, the altar of the Golden Church covered with mother-of-pearl inlaid stars. Around the corner, meet artisans making jewelry from discarded ship wood, who say every grain records the voyage story of a ship. · Seafood Market Twilight Fresh sea urchin opened at the Caisanero Market, paired with lime juice and volcanic chili sauce. Fishmongers often give you two extra oysters, pointing to old photos on the wall of a young Che Guevara working here. 🏙️ Day Two: Rainforest and Neon · Biodiversity Museum Under the colorful steel giant sail designed by Frank Gehry, see the giant Victoria water lily supporting the entire Central American ecological map. The curator will let you touch corals from both oceans and explain how they meet here. · Rainforest Canopy Walkway A twenty-minute taxi ride to Metropolitan Park, where toucans and sloths stroll overhead among the treetops. The guide suddenly whispers, "Listen, this is the monkey symphony Columbus heard five hundred years ago." · Coastal Avenue Nocturne Along Cinta Costera, watch container ship lights merge into a galaxy, street performers play the marimba with the "Song of Panama." Buy a cocktail mixed with local sugarcane rum, feeling as if you are in a futuristic nautical era. 🎨 Day Three: Hidden Treasures · Taboga Island Exploration Take a boat to a secret island in the Pearl Islands, where wild parrots peck mangoes among the ruins of a Spanish colonial fortress. The island keeper will show you pirate marks carved on the cliffs—Captain Morgan once buried treasure here. · Handmade Workshop Experience Learn fabric dyeing at the "Mola House" in San Felipe, using indigo and annatto to dye the red and blue of the Panama flag. The eighty-year-old shop owner grandmother says, "Our tradition is older than the canal." · Local Kitchen Secrets Follow a chef to the market to learn about cassava, taro, and twenty kinds of bananas. In an open kitchen, bake corn tortillas on volcanic stone, paired with Colon lemon-marinated fish, the sourness as lively as the Panamanian spirit. · -- 🌉 Special Experiences · Canal Lock Cycling: Ride a bike along Amador Causeway, watching cargo ships slowly rise and fall beside you · Old Town Moonlight Cinema: Watch outdoor movies every Friday at Bolivar Plaza, with coconut shadows and colonial buildings forming a natural screen · Traditional Costume Making: Try on the flower-embroidered Panama pollera dress at the Pollera Museum, where artisans say each piece takes a year to complete · -- "Panama City taught me: true connection is not conquering geography, but like the canal—allowing different civilizations to create new rhythms through collision."

Feel the thrill of Niagara Falls! 🌊 Standing close to the edge, watching the sheer power as water cascades down, is unforgettable. Take a walk along the observation deck or opt for a boat tour to experience the falls up close (expect to get drenched!). The falls are equally stunning at night when they’re beautifully illuminated. A spectacular sight you can’t miss! 💦✨ #voyagevibes #niagarafalls #ontario #canada

Lake Louise in Banff National Park, Canada, is a picturesque turquoise-emerald freshwater lake surrounded by a breathtaking backdrop of snow-capped mountains and glaciers. With a 10/10 rating for being absolutely worth the trip, it is perfect for canoeing and world-class nature hiking. Must-Do Activities Emerald-blue water: Created by fine rock dust (glacial flour) from glaciers reflecting the sunlight. Canoeing: The highlight activity on the lake, where you can experience tranquility and panoramic views (costs around 95-105 CAD per hour). Hiking: Popular trails like The Beehive or paths leading to high vantage points offer full, spectacular views of the lake. Hiking takes about 2-5 hours. Best Time to Visit: Summer (June - August): The ice melts to reveal clear, vibrant blue water. The great weather makes it ideal for hiking and boating (expect the biggest crowds during this time).

🏨 Overview If you're like me, you might find the "heritage hotels" within the old city of Khiva to sound romantic but not necessarily comfortable. Rooms converted from old madrassas are often cramped, with outdated facilities, and issues with air conditioning, water pressure, and soundproofing. I later realized that Khiva is actually very small, and it only takes about a 10-minute drive from outside the city to the edge of the old town. So, following the principle of "stay new rather than old," I turned my attention to the newly developed Arda Khiva area. This is a themed tourist area built in recent years, featuring large water entertainment facilities, an opera house, gondolas on canals, and several new hotels. The streets are clean, with a mix of "old city charm and modern leisure," reminiscent of a blend between Morocco and Venice. However, it’s currently not very popular, with hardly any tourists around, making it surprisingly quiet and ideal for travelers who want to take photos, relax, and avoid crowds. There are a few hotels here, such as the more expensive Farovon Khiva, but I opted for the more cost-effective Karvon Saroy. 🛏 In Room The public areas and rooms of the hotel are rich in local character, and each room comes with a balcony. With very few guests—probably only three or four rooms occupied—the hotel atmosphere was very quiet. 🍽 Dining Breakfast is still served buffet-style and hasn’t been downgraded despite the low number of guests. There’s a decent selection of bread, nuts, dried fruits, and fresh fruits. While not particularly exciting, it’s enough to fill you up. 🧘🏻♂️ Facilities Don’t expect a gym or pool, but being located within the tourist area, there’s plenty to explore nearby. Hotel management is a bit lax. For instance, the receptionist accidentally added an extra "0" to my bill, turning a room charge of over 400 into over 4000! Since the system couldn’t reverse the transaction, they refunded me in cash (USD), and with the credit card cashback, I ended up unexpectedly gaining over 80 bucks. Aside from this, the overall experience was relaxed and comfortable, with stable Wi-Fi and ample hot water. 🔖 Conclusion If you don’t insist on staying within the old city, consider looking further afield. Staying in a new area like Arda Khiva offers a more spacious and quieter travel experience, giving you a different perspective of Khiva. @trip.com_hk Download the Trip.com app → Search "FamilyTravel" on the homepage → Discover new family travel recommendations and exclusive offers!

Standing in the heart of Ottawa, the Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica is one of Canada's most breathtaking architectural treasures. Step inside, and you're greeted by soaring vaulted ceilings, shimmering blue interiors, intricate wood carvings, and dazzling stained-glass windows that fill the cathedral with a warm, ethereal glow. Built in the 19th century, it is the oldest and largest church in Ottawa, renowned for its striking twin silver spires and richly decorated Gothic Revival interior. Every detail—from the hand-carved altars to the golden sanctuary—reflects extraordinary craftsmanship and timeless elegance. Whether you're drawn by history, architecture, or simply a moment of quiet reflection, this remarkable cathedral offers an unforgettable experience. 📍 Location: Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada ⛪ Highlight: Ottawa's oldest and largest church, celebrated for its magnificent Gothic Revival architecture ✨ Feature: Twin silver spires, vibrant stained-glass windows, ornate wood carvings, soaring vaulted ceilings, and peaceful interiors 🍃 Atmosphere: Serene, majestic, and deeply inspiring 📸 Best for: Architecture lovers, cultural exploration, photography, and quiet contemplation 💡 Travel Tip: Visit in the morning or late afternoon, when natural light streams through the stained glass and beautifully illuminates the cathedral's intricate interior. Some places impress with their grandeur. This cathedral leaves a lasting impression through its quiet beauty. ⛪✨

If there is a kind of scenery that can make you forget the cold and lose track of time, it must be the northern lights. The northern lights, also known as the aurora, are a natural phenomenon formed when charged particles released by the sun collide with oxygen and nitrogen in the Earth's upper atmosphere. Green is the most common color, while red, purple, pink, and blue are relatively rare. When solar activity intensifies, the aurora becomes brighter and more spectacular, sometimes covering the entire sky. The best places to see the northern lights in Canada include Yellowknife, Whitehorse, and Jasper National Park. To increase your chances of seeing the northern lights, it is recommended to visit between late August and early April, with November to March being the prime viewing season. The aurora is most active from 10 PM to 2 AM. Staying away from city lights and choosing clear, cloudless nights makes it easier to experience this cosmic romance. For photography enthusiasts, the northern lights are a visual feast. Snow-covered landscapes, tranquil lakes, forests, cabins, and the vibrant aurora blend together, making every shutter click feel like capturing a dreamlike masterpiece. Some say those who see the northern lights will receive good luck; others say it symbolizes hope, dreams, and a beautiful beginning. Whether the legends are true or not, when you see that flowing sky with your own eyes, you will be deeply moved by its awe. If I could choose only one natural wonder to chase in my lifetime, I would definitely choose the northern lights in Canada. 🌌 Are you willing to embark on a journey to chase the light for this dreamlike sky? Follow me to explore Canada’s most beautiful scenery and discover more travel destinations worth visiting in a lifetime! 🇨🇦

Most travelers visiting Vancouver stick to Stanley Park, the Capilano Suspension Bridge, and the Canada Place waterfront. But if you venture just a little off the beaten path, the city reveals a completely different side of itself. Abandoned towers, secret beaches, historic gardens, forest trails, and scenic viewpoints known mostly to locals. Here are the places that were true discoveries for me. 🌊 1. Wreck Beach Vancouver's most unique beach is tucked away at the base of towering cliffs near the UBC campus. You can only get down here via a long wooden staircase with almost 500 steps. Even if you don't plan on staying long, the ocean views alone are worth the trek down. 🌿 2. Nitobe Memorial Garden One of the most beautiful Japanese gardens outside of Japan. You won't find noisy tourist groups here—just bridges, stone lanterns, koi carp, and absolute tranquility. 🌲 3. Pacific Spirit Regional Park A massive rainforest right on the edge of the city. Tens of kilometers of trails weave through giant cedars and Douglas firs, and just a few minutes into your walk, it's hard to believe downtown Vancouver is so close. 🪨 4. Whytecliff Park A small oceanfront park famous for its islet, which you can walk to at low tide. It's one of the best spots to observe starfish, sea anemones, and other tide pool creatures. 🌅 5. Queen Elizabeth Park Quarry Garden Most people come here for the observation deck, but the park's real secret is the former quarry transformed into a multi-level garden with waterfalls, bridges, and exotic plants. 🌊 6. Lighthouse Park An ancient coastal forest with trees over 400 years old leads to granite cliffs offering breathtaking views of the strait and the Point Atkinson Lighthouse. 🚶 7. Trout Lake A peaceful lake in the eastern part of the city where locals love to hang out. It's a great place to have a picnic, feed the ducks, or watch the sunset away from the tourist crowds. 🌸 8. Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden The first classical Chinese garden built outside of China by master artisans from Suzhou. Many people walk right past it, completely unaware that a true slice of traditional China is hidden behind its modest walls. 🚢 9. Shipyards District (North Vancouver) Most tourists don't cross the inlet, but just a few minutes on the SeaBus lands you in an atmospheric neighborhood with stunning views of the Vancouver skyline, markets, cafes, and a scenic boardwalk. 🏞️ 10. Cleveland Dam This high dam set against the North Shore mountains looks especially impressive after it rains, when the water roars down the spillway. Beautiful walking trails start right nearby. 🌲 11. Quarry Rock A short hike of about an hour leads to one of the most stunning panoramic viewpoints in the region. It offers a sweeping view of Indian Arm, surrounded by dense evergreen forests. 🐦 12. Reifel Bird Sanctuary Located about an hour's drive from downtown, this is a true paradise for bird watchers. Depending on the season, you can spot hundreds of species of migratory birds, cranes, owls, and even bald eagles. 🌉 13. Lynn Canyon Ecology Centre Most people head to the paid Capilano bridge, but at Lynn Canyon, you can cross a suspension bridge for free, check out waterfalls, and learn more about the ecology of British Columbia's famous rainforests. 🌊 14. Iona Beach Regional Park A rare spot featuring a long jetty that stretches almost four kilometers right out into the ocean. Walking along it feels like you're walking on water, surrounded by nothing but the sea, mountains, and airplanes coming in for a landing. 🌄 15. Cypress Lookout Most people come here in the winter to ski, but in the summer, this viewpoint becomes one of the best places to see all of Vancouver, the inlet, the islands, and the mountain peaks in one sweeping glance. 💡 My top tip Don't try to see Vancouver just by ticking off a list of its most popular attractions. The most memorable experiences are often waiting exactly where tourist groups rarely venture.

If you're visiting the small town of Canmore in Alberta, you absolutely can't miss the highly popular The Grizzly Paw Brewing Company on Main Street! Located at 622 Main St, this brewery and restaurant not only offers a fantastic dining atmosphere but also features massive windows. You can enjoy your meal while taking in the majestic mountain views—it's the perfect spot for photos! 🍻 Loved by both locals and tourists, this place often hosts live music and holiday-themed events. Sitting on the patio truly makes you feel like you're in the heart of a Canadian mountain town! I highly recommend going around dusk when the natural sunset and the restaurant's lights blend together, elevating the gorgeous scenery and the overall vibe! ✨ Highlights · An amazing selection of craft beers brewed in-house. If you don't drink alcohol, you've got to try their homemade non-alcoholic sodas. · The menu features local favorites like burgers, fried foods, and poutine.

For weekends, it's best to make a reservation or go early! 🍽️ Food Review & Pro Tips When you visit The Grizzly Paw, you'll get an incredible mountain view whether you sit by the window or out on the patio 😂. Their craft beer is a local staple, and getting a Flight Set (a sampler of mini beers) with friends is a must. On weekends, you'll see plenty of people chatting and chilling all afternoon. Even if you don't drink, you can enjoy their signature sodas and handmade desserts. I personally tried the Grizzly Burger—the cheese and gravy were perfectly rich. Paired with their house-made fries and a glass of their signature beer, the whole experience was just top-notch! Quick Tips: 1. It gets a bit chilly in the mountains at dusk, so remember to bring a light jacket if you're sitting on the patio! 2. It gets pretty crowded during peak dining hours. If you want to avoid a long wait, try to arrive early or call ahead to book a table. 3. They have a souvenir shop where you can grab bottled versions of their beer and soda to go. They make great gifts or treats for yourself. Enjoy!

It becomes a peaceful yet impressive landmark at night, offering a memorable moment of calm and beauty amid the excitement of World Cup celebrations.

In wintertime Beijing, if you want to take your children away from the city's hustle and bustle, Yanbai Mountain Villa is definitely a hidden gem! As a new member of SLH (Small Luxury Hotels of the World) in Beijing, it is located by Yanqi Lake. With every step, the scenery changes, as if you are inside a painting, allowing families to experience the perfect blend of nature and luxury during winter. 🥂 Hotel Design Aesthetics Designed by Pritzker Prize winner Master Wang Shu, the architecture is inspired by Song Dynasty artist Wang Ximeng’s "A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains," and the landscape layout references Song Dynasty Liu Songnian’s "Four Views of Mountains and Water," grand in scale, simple and elegant. In winter, the snow-covered gardens and antique-style buildings complement each other beautifully, like a three-dimensional Song Dynasty landscape painting. Children can experience the charm of Chinese aesthetics, playing while cultivating their sense of beauty. The hotel backs onto the southern foothills of the Yanshan Mountains, with a 27,000-square-meter garden housing over 50,000 Yanshan pines and cypress trees. In winter, the pine branches remain verdant, dotted with snow, creating stunning scenery. The 32 rooms and suites are scattered among the courtyard and forest views, each offering a different winter landscape, allowing children to embrace nature right from their windows. ☕ Family-Friendly Experiences The hotel offers 24-hour attentive, customized "Stylish Butler" service. The butler thoughtfully arranges itineraries and prepares children’s supplies (such as kids’ toiletries, small slippers, picture books) according to family needs, making traveling with kids worry-free. Unmissable family experiences: ✨ Enjoy panoramic views of Yanqi Lake and the southern shore of Yanqi Island from the viewing platform. In winter, the lake surface freezes, and the distant mountains are snow-capped, creating spectacular scenery for children to feel the vastness of nature. ✨ At the lobby bar, tea pavilion, or whiskey bar, order a hot drink (kids can have warm milk or juice), warm up while admiring the beautiful views outside, making for a cozy and pleasant family gathering. ✨ The hotel offers various dining options to satisfy children’s tastes, including classic French cuisine, traditional Chaoshan dishes, and even VIP state banquet-level dining. Fresh ingredients and exquisite cooking, plus children’s exclusive meals (such as tomato meat sauce pasta and vegetable porridge), ensure kids eat happily. ✨ Stroll through the garden landscape, peaceful and serene in winter. Introduce children to pine and cypress trees, breathe fresh air, and exercise; you can also enjoy the outdoor hot spring pool to dispel winter chill, with gentle children’s hot spring services available. ✨ Walk along the rooftop walkway, overlooking the entire villa’s beautiful scenery. The winter sun is gentle, letting children feel the breeze on their faces and enjoy quality family time. ✨ Interact and play with children in the art gallery or banquet hall amid mountain and water light effects and soft music, experiencing an artistic atmosphere and nurturing children’s artistic sensibilities. 🎪 Nearby Family Attractions The hotel offers customized activity services. Popular family attractions around Yanqi Lake include Hongluo Temple, Mutianyu Great Wall, Baiquan Mountain, Qinglong Gorge, Huanghuacheng Water Great Wall, and Beijing Huairou International Ski Resort: · Hongluo Temple: The ancient temple’s snowy winter scenery is stunning. Take children to pray, admire plum blossoms, and experience Buddhist culture. · Mutianyu Great Wall: Climb the Great Wall in winter, admire the snow-covered walls, feel the weight of history, and take the cable car to reduce physical exertion. · Beijing Huairou International Ski Resort: Let children experience the fun of skiing, with a children’s ski area and professional instructors, ensuring kids safely enjoy winter sports. 🏷️ Winter Family Tips Winter temperatures in Beijing are low. When traveling with children, bring thick coats, hats, scarves, gloves, and snow boots to avoid catching cold. The hotel rooms have sufficient heating, so lightweight indoor clothing can be prepared. Nearby attractions are some distance from the hotel, so self-driving or having the butler arrange transportation is recommended for easier travel with kids.

Many people visiting eastern Canada for the first time will definitely stop in Quebec. ‼️ Unfortunately, most tours on the market only let you “visit” here, not “stay” here. 📸 Those who just “visit” usually take a photo of Château Frontenac, stroll along Petit Champlain Street and Place Royale, then rush off to another city. This has become the standard pace for most tours. ✖️ So, those who only “visit” leave with beautiful photos but miss many of Quebec’s most captivating places and moments. 💥 Don’t be tricked by low-cost tours! This is the only walled city in North America that’s a UNESCO World Heritage site. Its true charm isn’t just in the daytime. 🌌 When night falls, the tour groups leave, the old town lights up warmly, the cobblestone streets return to quiet, the aroma from corner cafés drifts through the air, and history and life begin to intertwine again. That’s when you realize Quebec isn’t just a sightseeing spot—it’s a living, breathing city. 🔥 This year marks the 10th anniversary of “Goblin.” While countless people flock to Petit Champlain Street searching for that “magic door,” we want to offer you a truly immersive experience of living in this World Heritage site. ⚠️ Many eastern Canada tours pass through Quebec. To cut costs, many itineraries leave the old town for the next city right after afternoon sightseeing, treating Quebec as just a stopover. We see it differently—we consider it one of the most important experiences of the entire trip. 💥 You can stay at a hotel near Quebec’s old town, or upgrade to the iconic Fairmont Le Château Frontenac, turning your trip from “walking into the old town” to “living in the old town.” ⁉️ Why we insist: staying in the old town is the only right way to experience it 💢 Most tours, to save costs, book accommodations in other cities, making you say goodbye to the old town’s lights at dusk in a rush. Staying in the old town means opening your window to centuries of history. ❶ Exclusive dawn and dusk: only by staying in the old town can you stroll the empty cobblestone streets at sunrise when the first light hits Château Frontenac’s copper roof; and only at night, after the tourists leave, can you enjoy the quiet and romance of Petit Champlain Street. These are moments “passersby” will never experience. ❷ Deep downtime: staying in the old town isn’t just about checking off landmarks. It lets you explore the city at your own pace: the military history of the star-shaped fortress, the religious theology of Notre-Dame Basilica, the French romance of street murals, and the same filming spots from “Goblin” (the big lawn, Christmas shop, red door…). The best travel is not rushing but having the freedom to choose your time. ❸ High standards: choosing to stay in the old town reflects our commitment to travel quality and the meaning of “depth.” It’s not just a choice of accommodation—it’s an attitude. We want you to be part of Quebec’s story, not just a spectator. 🍁 Of course, Quebec will be a highlight of your trip, but to truly understand eastern Canada, don’t miss these places! In Montreal, experience the unique blend of French culture and a modern North American city; in Ottawa, visit Canada’s capital to learn about the country’s history and culture; head to the four-season resort Mont Tremblant to enjoy the lakes and mountains beloved by Canadians; explore Crystal Falls for the natural thrill of forest waterfalls; then visit the Gulf of St. Lawrence to take a boat tour and witness whales breaching the water... 📢 When you come to Quebec, don’t be a hurried visitor. Join our in-depth itinerary and live the story of the old town. Let the essence of eastern Canada stay not just in your camera but deep in your memory. 🔖 Quick info: Tianbao group codes for staying in Quebec old town: Letter D (stay at a hotel near the old town) Letter V (stay at Fairmont Le Château Frontenac) Click the 🔗 [product recommendations] below to purchase the same package~ For itinerary and details, please contact the merchant via [free consultation] at the bottom left~

Listen up, ladies! There’s a city in North America sealed by 400 years of time—a French dreamland💭 The entire city is enclosed by walls. Cobbled streets wind between the cliffside upper town and the valley lower town. Walking in during midsummer in July feels like stepping right into a scene from an old European film. Today, I’m giving you the full rundown on summer activities in this ancient city—the only one in North America with fully intact city walls👇 🚗 Getting there It takes about 3.5 hours by train from Montreal. Buying a non-refundable ticket in advance on the official website can save you nearly half the price. A round trip costs around 700–800 RMB. The train has Wi-Fi and nice scenery along the way, perfect for catching up on sleep or editing photos. The train station is right next to the old town. It’s a 15-minute walk to the core area. But beware! The old town is full of slopes and cobblestone streets. Dragging a suitcase uphill will make you want to cry. It’s best to take a taxi straight to your accommodation to drop off your luggage before heading out. Public transit within the city is enough to get around. Buy a day pass for unlimited rides; coverage is extensive. If you want to visit waterfalls or islands outside the city, renting a car offers more freedom. Major rental car brands have counters at the airport. 🏛️ Upper town: stand on the cliff and watch the great river flow The upper town is the heart of the old city, with all the main landmarks within walking distance. ⭐ Dufferin Terrace This cliffside boardwalk extends along the edge, with the St. Lawrence River beneath your feet. The river is so wide it looks like the sea. Come around 6 or 7 PM in summer. The sunlight turns the water into shattered gold, the mountain outlines on the opposite shore are clear, and the breeze carries mist that opens up every pore on your skin. ⭐ Star-shaped fortress At the end of the terrace, this is one of the best-preserved military forts in North America. In summer, there’s a scheduled changing of the guard ceremony every day. Soldiers in red uniforms march in formation, and the drumbeats echo between the walls. The scene feels like a time travel experience. Tickets cost about 12 CAD. It’s best to visit in the morning when the light is good for photos and it’s cooler. ⭐ Walk the city walls The only city walls in North America you can walk all the way around! The full loop is about 4.6 km and takes 1.5–2 hours to complete. Along the way, you’ll see the old town’s red copper spires, sailboats on the distant river, and flower-filled balconies at the base of the walls. In July, the wind on the walls is strong and cool, much more comfortable than the streets below. 🎨 Lower town: 400 years of lively French alleys There are two ways to get from upper town to lower town: take the funicular (about 5 CAD one way, just a few seconds, perfect for lazy travelers) or walk the famous “Breakneck Stairs” (free but really steep, don’t push it if your knees aren’t good). ⭐ Petit Champlain Street Known as the oldest commercial street in North America, it’s so narrow two people walking side by side have to turn sideways. Both sides are lined with old stone buildings, with geraniums and lavender on the windowsills. Summer sunlight slants through the gaps between buildings, casting stripes of light and shadow on the cobblestones. The street hides various handmade leather shops, independent galleries, and local artisan workshops. These aren’t the usual mass-produced souvenirs but truly heartfelt handmade items. There’s a small woodcarving shop where the owner carves on site. The flying wood shavings make for a very soothing scene. ⭐ Place Royale The core square of the lower town. Four hundred years ago, French explorers drove the first wooden stake here to found the city. Now, a huge mural wall stands in the center, using trompe-l'œil to layer building facades from different eras, making photos full of stories. In summer, street performers often entertain in the square—accordion players, saxophonists, portrait artists. Sitting on a bench by the square can easily fill an entire afternoon. 🌊 Suburban secret: a waterfall taller than Niagara A 15-minute drive east of the city is a giant waterfall with an 83-meter drop—30 meters taller than Niagara Falls! In summer, the water flow is abundant, and mist rises from the base like a white veil. The best part is you can take a cable car slowly from the top of the falls down to the valley floor or walk across a suspension bridge over the falls. The roaring water beneath pumps your adrenaline. The suspension bridge is free to cross. The cable car costs about 15 CAD round trip. At dusk, the waterfall is lit up. The water curtain glows with colorful lights, looking like a huge flowing gem. 🏝️ Île d’Orléans: bike through a pastoral poem North of the old town is a long, narrow river island. It’s a 20-minute drive across a bridge from the old town. The island feels nothing like a city. It’s all orchards, farms, vineyards, and century-old stone churches. The best summer activity is renting a bike to circle the island, about 60 km total. You can split it into two leisurely rides. Along the way, you’ll pass vast sunflower fields, strawberry picking farms, and riverside meadows where locals picnic on weekends. Several ferry docks on the island offer boat rides back to the old town. Combining biking and ferry rides makes for a fun route. There’s a cheese workshop on the island passed down through generations. You can tour the production process and taste fresh cheese on site. The flavor of freshly made cheese is nothing like supermarket products. 🌙 Where to stay It’s recommended to stay in the upper old town area, where you can walk to all the main attractions. Choose a room with a river view balcony. Open the window to see sailboats slowly moving on the St. Lawrence River and mountain silhouettes in the distance. In summer, sunsets last until 8 or 9 PM. Nestled on the balcony watching the sky change from orange to deep blue brings a peace you can’t get staying in the suburbs. If your budget allows, the lower town near the river is also charming. Fall asleep to the sound of the river and wake up to church bells. The 400-year-old spirit here has never faded. 📋 Quick practical info · Summer average temperature 22–26°C. Big temperature difference between day and night. Bring a light jacket · The old town is entirely French-speaking. English is also understood, but learning a few French phrases will earn you extra points · July hosts a large summer music festival lasting nearly two weeks, with live performances all over the streets · The Canadian dollar is currently about 5.2 RMB. Card payments are widely accepted · The time difference is 12 hours behind Beijing. It’s recommended to allow a day to adjust This city is the kind of place you don’t want to leave once you step inside. Four hundred years ago, the French built a city by this river. Four hundred years later, it remains the most European dreamlike place on the North American continent✨

#hotelreview My stay at Andaz Ottawa ByWard Market was a decent experience, offering a perfect blend of luxury and local charm right in the heart of Canada’s capital. Nestled in the vibrant ByWard Market district, this stylish hotel provided an ideal base for exploring the rich history and lively culture of Ottawa. However there are some areas that the hotel can improve. My check in only happened at 5:30pm due to the mismanagement of the housekeeping schedule. And the staffs didnt really do anything to compensate for tis inconvenience. Second, the hotel's amenities is really weak and boring, featuring only a small gym with few equipments. But other than that, this is a great hotel choice for those visiting Ottawa. My rating: 8/10 #andaz #ottawaexplore

Moraine Lake in Banff National Park, Canada, is world-renowned for its stunning turquoise glacial waters surrounded by the Valley of the Ten Peaks. The highlights are the million-dollar views and canoeing. However, personal vehicles are no longer allowed to drive in and park; visitors must use a shuttle service or stay at the Moraine Lake Lodge. I consider this the most beautiful lake I've ever visited—it's easily my number one. Highlights and impressions: The crystal-clear, emerald or turquoise water gets its striking color from rock flour. There's a short hike up the Rockpile Trail for that iconic, postcard-perfect panoramic view. Canoeing is a highly popular activity, offering an incredibly romantic vibe. Private vehicles are prohibited from entering (except for Moraine Lake Lodge guests or those with a disabled parking permit). You must book a Parks Canada Shuttle ticket in advance or use a private shuttle service. The lake is only accessible during the snow-free season (typically from late May to mid-October each year).

Drive from Toronto to Kingston's Thousand Islands, where in July the lake water is clear and blue, with over a thousand glacial islands scattered across the surface. The cruise boat glides slowly, with private homes and castles nestled among green trees along the shore, and the breeze carries the coolness of the lake. Without crowded crowds, the natural wild charm and exclusive villas complement each other. A one-day cruise itinerary is relaxing and healing. The glacially formed archipelago offers a peaceful and soothing landscape, making it an excellent short trip to escape the city's hustle and bustle. [Island] Travel Tips 1. July is windy on the lake, so bring a light jacket, sun hat, and sunscreen as UV rays are strong. 2. The cruise has limited shaded areas, so bring your own drinking water and light snacks. 3. Board the boat on time; some islands are private property and landing is prohibited. Do not dock without permission. 4. The lake's reflection is dazzling; sunglasses are recommended, and try to avoid taking photos in the harsh midday light. 5.

#canadatrip Cons: Overpriced and overrated. Parking is expensive, and food options inside are mostly unhealthy and way too costly for what you get. The overall experience doesn’t match the high ticket and food prices. Definitely not worth it for what’s offered; 1 out of 5. Pros: I visited Canada’s Wonderland this past summer and spent a full day enjoying both the rides and the water park. It was a hot day, so I started with Splash Works; the water area was lively but not overwhelming. There are several pools and slides for every age, and it’s a great place to cool off. The wave pool was a highlight, and there were plenty of shaded spots and chairs to relax between rides. After the water park, I explored the rest of the park and went on a few of the main roller coasters. The sight of the massive tracks and loops from a distance still makes the park feel impressive every time you visit. The atmosphere is energetic but family-friendly; with lots of music, food stands, and people having fun. I ended the day near the main fountain and mountain area, which looks especially beautiful in the sunlight. The water and landscaping give it a resort feel, and it’s a perfect spot to take photos before leaving. Overall, it was a great summer day; well organized, clean, and full of energy. If you plan ahead and arrive early, you can easily make the most of both the water park and the rides.

Just returned from Canada, and the aftereffects are strong. That land has a magic that pulls you out of everyday trivialities—the snowy peaks of the Rockies, the cobblestone streets of Quebec, the Pacific breeze… my phone storage kept filling up again and again. If you’re planning a trip, this straightforward guide should help you avoid some detours. Trip highlights and planning Canada is huge, so it’s unrealistic to see it all at once. It’s best to pick one side first. Western Canada features stunning natural wonders and offers a “visual overload” experience. Eastern Canada is full of French charm, perfect for leisurely wandering. Western Canada (Banff + Vancouver) must-see spots: Banff National Park: Emerald waters of Lake Louise surrounded by mountains, and the even more stunning blue-green Moraine Lake—be sure to go boating. It’s best to drive from Calgary, about 1.5 hours away. During peak season, book your park entry 7 days in advance. Before 10 AM is the best time to avoid crowds. Columbia Icefield: Experience the giant ice explorer vehicle driving onto the Athabasca Glacier in Jasper National Park. It’s a one-of-a-kind feeling. Stanley Park in Vancouver: One of the largest urban parks in North America. Ride along the 8.8 km seawall trail with forest on one side and ocean on the other—extremely relaxing. The park is free. In autumn, the red maples combined with the sea view capture the soul of Vancouver. Capilano Suspension Bridge Park: Walk among the rainforest treetops. Great for adventure lovers and photographers. Free shuttle service is available from downtown. Eastern Canada (Toronto + Quebec) must-see spots: Niagara Falls: It’s recommended to buy a package that includes the Maid of the Mist boat tour to experience the roaring water up close. Remember to wear a raincoat. It’s a 1.5-hour drive from Toronto. Old Quebec City: Filming location for the Korean drama “Goblin” and the only place in North America with preserved city walls. The Fairmont Le Château Frontenac is a landmark. The cobblestone streets of Petit Champlain are lined with colorful shops, giving a European vibe. Entry to the old city is free. Visit in the morning for fewer crowds and better photos. Some buildings require tickets for interior visits. Old Montreal: Visit the Notre-Dame Basilica, whose lavish interior is worth seeing. From Mount Royal Park, enjoy panoramic city views. In autumn, it’s a prime spot for maple leaf viewing. Parliament Hill in Ottawa: The Gothic architecture is grand and solemn. There’s a light show at night. The surrounding area has many canals where you can boat in summer and skate in winter. Food recommendations Poutine (fries with gravy and cheese curds): Canada’s national dish, originating in Quebec. Hot gravy poured over fries and cheese curds. Try it at street-side shops in Old Quebec City. It pairs perfectly with beer. Montreal smoked meat sandwich: Schwartz’s is the most famous. Smoked brisket served on rye bread, juicy and flavorful. Fresh lobster: Available in Vancouver or Toronto. Simply boiled and dipped in butter, it’s incredibly fresh and sweet. Maple syrup and ice wine: Look for the “Canada No.1” label on maple syrup. Wineries near Niagara Falls offer ice wine tastings. It’s very sweet and makes a great gift. Nanaimo bars: A three-layer dessert with a coconut base, custard middle, and chocolate top. Goes well with black coffee. Travel tips Visa and internet: Apply for a visa or eTA in advance. Buy a local SIM card or enable international roaming. You’ll need internet for navigation and research. Currency and tipping: Card payments are common. Carry a small amount of cash (CAD). Restaurants usually expect 13%–15% tip. Clothing and gear: Canada has big temperature swings between morning and night, especially in the Rockies. Bring a light jacket or shell even in summer. Sunscreen and a sun hat are essential on sunny days due to strong UV rays. Hiking shoes are important as there’s a lot of walking in scenic areas. Transportation and driving: Self-driving is highly recommended in Western Canada. In Eastern Canada, VIA trains or buses are convenient between cities. Download offline maps in advance, as some areas in Banff have no signal. Use mobile apps or PRESTO cards for city buses and subways. Museums and closing times: Many art galleries and museums close on Mondays, such as the Royal Ontario Museum. Check official websites and book tickets in advance. Tripods and flash photography are not allowed at the CN Tower, and the observation deck stops admitting visitors at 9 PM. Respect wildlife: Keep your distance from bears, deer, and other animals in Banff or Jasper. Enjoy them from your car and do not feed them.

The August wind carries the salty sea mist and the sweet scent of mangoes, glass skyscrapers flicker in the tropical downpour, and the entire city feels like a newly opened nautical music box, flowing with the polyphony of colonial history and modern trade in the morning light. · -- 🌴 Three-Day Travel Guide Transportation: It is recommended to buy a metro card (you can ride the century-old canal train), the old town area is suitable for exploring on foot Accommodation: Recommended boutique hotels in Casco Viejo, with terraces offering views of the Pacific sunset and church bell tower silhouettes 🌟 Day One: Time and Space Folded · Panama Canal Morning Mist Watch massive ships pass through the Miraflores Locks at 7 a.m., the sound of steel cables rubbing accompanied by Spanish commentary. When the gates open, the waters of two oceans embrace here. Locals say, "This is the most romantic seam on Earth." · Old Town Maze Walk Get lost among colorful colonial buildings, the altar of the Golden Church covered with mother-of-pearl inlaid stars. Around the corner, meet artisans making jewelry from discarded ship wood, who say every grain records the voyage story of a ship. · Seafood Market Twilight Fresh sea urchin opened at the Caisanero Market, paired with lime juice and volcanic chili sauce. Fishmongers often give you two extra oysters, pointing to old photos on the wall of a young Che Guevara working here. 🏙️ Day Two: Rainforest and Neon · Biodiversity Museum Under the colorful steel giant sail designed by Frank Gehry, see the giant Victoria water lily supporting the entire Central American ecological map. The curator will let you touch corals from both oceans and explain how they meet here. · Rainforest Canopy Walkway A twenty-minute taxi ride to Metropolitan Park, where toucans and sloths stroll overhead among the treetops. The guide suddenly whispers, "Listen, this is the monkey symphony Columbus heard five hundred years ago." · Coastal Avenue Nocturne Along Cinta Costera, watch container ship lights merge into a galaxy, street performers play the marimba with the "Song of Panama." Buy a cocktail mixed with local sugarcane rum, feeling as if you are in a futuristic nautical era. 🎨 Day Three: Hidden Treasures · Taboga Island Exploration Take a boat to a secret island in the Pearl Islands, where wild parrots peck mangoes among the ruins of a Spanish colonial fortress. The island keeper will show you pirate marks carved on the cliffs—Captain Morgan once buried treasure here. · Handmade Workshop Experience Learn fabric dyeing at the "Mola House" in San Felipe, using indigo and annatto to dye the red and blue of the Panama flag. The eighty-year-old shop owner grandmother says, "Our tradition is older than the canal." · Local Kitchen Secrets Follow a chef to the market to learn about cassava, taro, and twenty kinds of bananas. In an open kitchen, bake corn tortillas on volcanic stone, paired with Colon lemon-marinated fish, the sourness as lively as the Panamanian spirit. · -- 🌉 Special Experiences · Canal Lock Cycling: Ride a bike along Amador Causeway, watching cargo ships slowly rise and fall beside you · Old Town Moonlight Cinema: Watch outdoor movies every Friday at Bolivar Plaza, with coconut shadows and colonial buildings forming a natural screen · Traditional Costume Making: Try on the flower-embroidered Panama pollera dress at the Pollera Museum, where artisans say each piece takes a year to complete · -- "Panama City taught me: true connection is not conquering geography, but like the canal—allowing different civilizations to create new rhythms through collision."

Feel the thrill of Niagara Falls! 🌊 Standing close to the edge, watching the sheer power as water cascades down, is unforgettable. Take a walk along the observation deck or opt for a boat tour to experience the falls up close (expect to get drenched!). The falls are equally stunning at night when they’re beautifully illuminated. A spectacular sight you can’t miss! 💦✨ #voyagevibes #niagarafalls #ontario #canada

Lake Louise in Banff National Park, Canada, is a picturesque turquoise-emerald freshwater lake surrounded by a breathtaking backdrop of snow-capped mountains and glaciers. With a 10/10 rating for being absolutely worth the trip, it is perfect for canoeing and world-class nature hiking. Must-Do Activities Emerald-blue water: Created by fine rock dust (glacial flour) from glaciers reflecting the sunlight. Canoeing: The highlight activity on the lake, where you can experience tranquility and panoramic views (costs around 95-105 CAD per hour). Hiking: Popular trails like The Beehive or paths leading to high vantage points offer full, spectacular views of the lake. Hiking takes about 2-5 hours. Best Time to Visit: Summer (June - August): The ice melts to reveal clear, vibrant blue water. The great weather makes it ideal for hiking and boating (expect the biggest crowds during this time).

🏨 Overview If you're like me, you might find the "heritage hotels" within the old city of Khiva to sound romantic but not necessarily comfortable. Rooms converted from old madrassas are often cramped, with outdated facilities, and issues with air conditioning, water pressure, and soundproofing. I later realized that Khiva is actually very small, and it only takes about a 10-minute drive from outside the city to the edge of the old town. So, following the principle of "stay new rather than old," I turned my attention to the newly developed Arda Khiva area. This is a themed tourist area built in recent years, featuring large water entertainment facilities, an opera house, gondolas on canals, and several new hotels. The streets are clean, with a mix of "old city charm and modern leisure," reminiscent of a blend between Morocco and Venice. However, it’s currently not very popular, with hardly any tourists around, making it surprisingly quiet and ideal for travelers who want to take photos, relax, and avoid crowds. There are a few hotels here, such as the more expensive Farovon Khiva, but I opted for the more cost-effective Karvon Saroy. 🛏 In Room The public areas and rooms of the hotel are rich in local character, and each room comes with a balcony. With very few guests—probably only three or four rooms occupied—the hotel atmosphere was very quiet. 🍽 Dining Breakfast is still served buffet-style and hasn’t been downgraded despite the low number of guests. There’s a decent selection of bread, nuts, dried fruits, and fresh fruits. While not particularly exciting, it’s enough to fill you up. 🧘🏻♂️ Facilities Don’t expect a gym or pool, but being located within the tourist area, there’s plenty to explore nearby. Hotel management is a bit lax. For instance, the receptionist accidentally added an extra "0" to my bill, turning a room charge of over 400 into over 4000! Since the system couldn’t reverse the transaction, they refunded me in cash (USD), and with the credit card cashback, I ended up unexpectedly gaining over 80 bucks. Aside from this, the overall experience was relaxed and comfortable, with stable Wi-Fi and ample hot water. 🔖 Conclusion If you don’t insist on staying within the old city, consider looking further afield. Staying in a new area like Arda Khiva offers a more spacious and quieter travel experience, giving you a different perspective of Khiva. @trip.com_hk Download the Trip.com app → Search "FamilyTravel" on the homepage → Discover new family travel recommendations and exclusive offers!

Standing in the heart of Ottawa, the Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica is one of Canada's most breathtaking architectural treasures. Step inside, and you're greeted by soaring vaulted ceilings, shimmering blue interiors, intricate wood carvings, and dazzling stained-glass windows that fill the cathedral with a warm, ethereal glow. Built in the 19th century, it is the oldest and largest church in Ottawa, renowned for its striking twin silver spires and richly decorated Gothic Revival interior. Every detail—from the hand-carved altars to the golden sanctuary—reflects extraordinary craftsmanship and timeless elegance. Whether you're drawn by history, architecture, or simply a moment of quiet reflection, this remarkable cathedral offers an unforgettable experience. 📍 Location: Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada ⛪ Highlight: Ottawa's oldest and largest church, celebrated for its magnificent Gothic Revival architecture ✨ Feature: Twin silver spires, vibrant stained-glass windows, ornate wood carvings, soaring vaulted ceilings, and peaceful interiors 🍃 Atmosphere: Serene, majestic, and deeply inspiring 📸 Best for: Architecture lovers, cultural exploration, photography, and quiet contemplation 💡 Travel Tip: Visit in the morning or late afternoon, when natural light streams through the stained glass and beautifully illuminates the cathedral's intricate interior. Some places impress with their grandeur. This cathedral leaves a lasting impression through its quiet beauty. ⛪✨

If there is a kind of scenery that can make you forget the cold and lose track of time, it must be the northern lights. The northern lights, also known as the aurora, are a natural phenomenon formed when charged particles released by the sun collide with oxygen and nitrogen in the Earth's upper atmosphere. Green is the most common color, while red, purple, pink, and blue are relatively rare. When solar activity intensifies, the aurora becomes brighter and more spectacular, sometimes covering the entire sky. The best places to see the northern lights in Canada include Yellowknife, Whitehorse, and Jasper National Park. To increase your chances of seeing the northern lights, it is recommended to visit between late August and early April, with November to March being the prime viewing season. The aurora is most active from 10 PM to 2 AM. Staying away from city lights and choosing clear, cloudless nights makes it easier to experience this cosmic romance. For photography enthusiasts, the northern lights are a visual feast. Snow-covered landscapes, tranquil lakes, forests, cabins, and the vibrant aurora blend together, making every shutter click feel like capturing a dreamlike masterpiece. Some say those who see the northern lights will receive good luck; others say it symbolizes hope, dreams, and a beautiful beginning. Whether the legends are true or not, when you see that flowing sky with your own eyes, you will be deeply moved by its awe. If I could choose only one natural wonder to chase in my lifetime, I would definitely choose the northern lights in Canada. 🌌 Are you willing to embark on a journey to chase the light for this dreamlike sky? Follow me to explore Canada’s most beautiful scenery and discover more travel destinations worth visiting in a lifetime! 🇨🇦

Most travelers visiting Vancouver stick to Stanley Park, the Capilano Suspension Bridge, and the Canada Place waterfront. But if you venture just a little off the beaten path, the city reveals a completely different side of itself. Abandoned towers, secret beaches, historic gardens, forest trails, and scenic viewpoints known mostly to locals. Here are the places that were true discoveries for me. 🌊 1. Wreck Beach Vancouver's most unique beach is tucked away at the base of towering cliffs near the UBC campus. You can only get down here via a long wooden staircase with almost 500 steps. Even if you don't plan on staying long, the ocean views alone are worth the trek down. 🌿 2. Nitobe Memorial Garden One of the most beautiful Japanese gardens outside of Japan. You won't find noisy tourist groups here—just bridges, stone lanterns, koi carp, and absolute tranquility. 🌲 3. Pacific Spirit Regional Park A massive rainforest right on the edge of the city. Tens of kilometers of trails weave through giant cedars and Douglas firs, and just a few minutes into your walk, it's hard to believe downtown Vancouver is so close. 🪨 4. Whytecliff Park A small oceanfront park famous for its islet, which you can walk to at low tide. It's one of the best spots to observe starfish, sea anemones, and other tide pool creatures. 🌅 5. Queen Elizabeth Park Quarry Garden Most people come here for the observation deck, but the park's real secret is the former quarry transformed into a multi-level garden with waterfalls, bridges, and exotic plants. 🌊 6. Lighthouse Park An ancient coastal forest with trees over 400 years old leads to granite cliffs offering breathtaking views of the strait and the Point Atkinson Lighthouse. 🚶 7. Trout Lake A peaceful lake in the eastern part of the city where locals love to hang out. It's a great place to have a picnic, feed the ducks, or watch the sunset away from the tourist crowds. 🌸 8. Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden The first classical Chinese garden built outside of China by master artisans from Suzhou. Many people walk right past it, completely unaware that a true slice of traditional China is hidden behind its modest walls. 🚢 9. Shipyards District (North Vancouver) Most tourists don't cross the inlet, but just a few minutes on the SeaBus lands you in an atmospheric neighborhood with stunning views of the Vancouver skyline, markets, cafes, and a scenic boardwalk. 🏞️ 10. Cleveland Dam This high dam set against the North Shore mountains looks especially impressive after it rains, when the water roars down the spillway. Beautiful walking trails start right nearby. 🌲 11. Quarry Rock A short hike of about an hour leads to one of the most stunning panoramic viewpoints in the region. It offers a sweeping view of Indian Arm, surrounded by dense evergreen forests. 🐦 12. Reifel Bird Sanctuary Located about an hour's drive from downtown, this is a true paradise for bird watchers. Depending on the season, you can spot hundreds of species of migratory birds, cranes, owls, and even bald eagles. 🌉 13. Lynn Canyon Ecology Centre Most people head to the paid Capilano bridge, but at Lynn Canyon, you can cross a suspension bridge for free, check out waterfalls, and learn more about the ecology of British Columbia's famous rainforests. 🌊 14. Iona Beach Regional Park A rare spot featuring a long jetty that stretches almost four kilometers right out into the ocean. Walking along it feels like you're walking on water, surrounded by nothing but the sea, mountains, and airplanes coming in for a landing. 🌄 15. Cypress Lookout Most people come here in the winter to ski, but in the summer, this viewpoint becomes one of the best places to see all of Vancouver, the inlet, the islands, and the mountain peaks in one sweeping glance. 💡 My top tip Don't try to see Vancouver just by ticking off a list of its most popular attractions. The most memorable experiences are often waiting exactly where tourist groups rarely venture.

If you're visiting the small town of Canmore in Alberta, you absolutely can't miss the highly popular The Grizzly Paw Brewing Company on Main Street! Located at 622 Main St, this brewery and restaurant not only offers a fantastic dining atmosphere but also features massive windows. You can enjoy your meal while taking in the majestic mountain views—it's the perfect spot for photos! 🍻 Loved by both locals and tourists, this place often hosts live music and holiday-themed events. Sitting on the patio truly makes you feel like you're in the heart of a Canadian mountain town!

Their craft beer is a local staple, and getting a Flight Set (a sampler of mini beers) with friends is a must. On weekends, you'll see plenty of people chatting and chilling all afternoon. Even if you don't drink, you can enjoy their signature sodas and handmade desserts. I personally tried the Grizzly Burger—the cheese and gravy were perfectly rich. Paired with their house-made fries and a glass of their signature beer, the whole experience was just top-notch! Quick Tips: 1. It gets a bit chilly in the mountains at dusk, so remember to bring a light jacket if you're sitting on the patio! 2. It gets pretty crowded during peak dining hours. If you want to avoid a long wait, try to arrive early or call ahead to book a table. 3. They have a souvenir shop where you can grab bottled versions of their beer and soda to go. They make great gifts or treats for yourself. Enjoy!

In wintertime Beijing, if you want to take your children away from the city's hustle and bustle, Yanbai Mountain Villa is definitely a hidden gem! As a new member of SLH (Small Luxury Hotels of the World) in Beijing, it is located by Yanqi Lake. With every step, the scenery changes, as if you are inside a painting, allowing families to experience the perfect blend of nature and luxury during winter. 🥂 Hotel Design Aesthetics Designed by Pritzker Prize winner Master Wang Shu, the architecture is inspired by Song Dynasty artist Wang Ximeng’s "A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains," and the landscape layout references Song Dynasty Liu Songnian’s "Four Views of Mountains and Water," grand in scale, simple and elegant. In winter, the snow-covered gardens and antique-style buildings complement each other beautifully, like a three-dimensional Song Dynasty landscape painting. Children can experience the charm of Chinese aesthetics, playing while cultivating their sense of beauty. The hotel backs onto the southern foothills of the Yanshan Mountains, with a 27,000-square-meter garden housing over 50,000 Yanshan pines and cypress trees. In winter, the pine branches remain verdant, dotted with snow, creating stunning scenery. The 32 rooms and suites are scattered among the courtyard and forest views, each offering a different winter landscape, allowing children to embrace nature right from their windows. ☕ Family-Friendly Experiences The hotel offers 24-hour attentive, customized "Stylish Butler" service. The butler thoughtfully arranges itineraries and prepares children’s supplies (such as kids’ toiletries, small slippers, picture books) according to family needs, making traveling with kids worry-free. Unmissable family experiences: ✨ Enjoy panoramic views of Yanqi Lake and the southern shore of Yanqi Island from the viewing platform. In winter, the lake surface freezes, and the distant mountains are snow-capped, creating spectacular scenery for children to feel the vastness of nature. ✨ At the lobby bar, tea pavilion, or whiskey bar, order a hot drink (kids can have warm milk or juice), warm up while admiring the beautiful views outside, making for a cozy and pleasant family gathering. ✨ The hotel offers various dining options to satisfy children’s tastes, including classic French cuisine, traditional Chaoshan dishes, and even VIP state banquet-level dining. Fresh ingredients and exquisite cooking, plus children’s exclusive meals (such as tomato meat sauce pasta and vegetable porridge), ensure kids eat happily. ✨ Stroll through the garden landscape, peaceful and serene in winter. Introduce children to pine and cypress trees, breathe fresh air, and exercise; you can also enjoy the outdoor hot spring pool to dispel winter chill, with gentle children’s hot spring services available. ✨ Walk along the rooftop walkway, overlooking the entire villa’s beautiful scenery. The winter sun is gentle, letting children feel the breeze on their faces and enjoy quality family time. ✨ Interact and play with children in the art gallery or banquet hall amid mountain and water light effects and soft music, experiencing an artistic atmosphere and nurturing children’s artistic sensibilities. 🎪 Nearby Family Attractions The hotel offers customized activity services. Popular family attractions around Yanqi Lake include Hongluo Temple, Mutianyu Great Wall, Baiquan Mountain, Qinglong Gorge, Huanghuacheng Water Great Wall, and Beijing Huairou International Ski Resort: · Hongluo Temple: The ancient temple’s snowy winter scenery is stunning. Take children to pray, admire plum blossoms, and experience Buddhist culture. · Mutianyu Great Wall: Climb the Great Wall in winter, admire the snow-covered walls, feel the weight of history, and take the cable car to reduce physical exertion. · Beijing Huairou International Ski Resort: Let children experience the fun of skiing, with a children’s ski area and professional instructors, ensuring kids safely enjoy winter sports. 🏷️ Winter Family Tips Winter temperatures in Beijing are low. When traveling with children, bring thick coats, hats, scarves, gloves, and snow boots to avoid catching cold. The hotel rooms have sufficient heating, so lightweight indoor clothing can be prepared. Nearby attractions are some distance from the hotel, so self-driving or having the butler arrange transportation is recommended for easier travel with kids.

Many people visiting eastern Canada for the first time will definitely stop in Quebec. ‼️ Unfortunately, most tours on the market only let you “visit” here, not “stay” here. 📸 Those who just “visit” usually take a photo of Château Frontenac, stroll along Petit Champlain Street and Place Royale, then rush off to another city. This has become the standard pace for most tours. ✖️ So, those who only “visit” leave with beautiful photos but miss many of Quebec’s most captivating places and moments. 💥 Don’t be tricked by low-cost tours! This is the only walled city in North America that’s a UNESCO World Heritage site. Its true charm isn’t just in the daytime. 🌌 When night falls, the tour groups leave, the old town lights up warmly, the cobblestone streets return to quiet, the aroma from corner cafés drifts through the air, and history and life begin to intertwine again. That’s when you realize Quebec isn’t just a sightseeing spot—it’s a living, breathing city. 🔥 This year marks the 10th anniversary of “Goblin.” While countless people flock to Petit Champlain Street searching for that “magic door,” we want to offer you a truly immersive experience of living in this World Heritage site. ⚠️ Many eastern Canada tours pass through Quebec. To cut costs, many itineraries leave the old town for the next city right after afternoon sightseeing, treating Quebec as just a stopover. We see it differently—we consider it one of the most important experiences of the entire trip. 💥 You can stay at a hotel near Quebec’s old town, or upgrade to the iconic Fairmont Le Château Frontenac, turning your trip from “walking into the old town” to “living in the old town.” ⁉️ Why we insist: staying in the old town is the only right way to experience it 💢 Most tours, to save costs, book accommodations in other cities, making you say goodbye to the old town’s lights at dusk in a rush. Staying in the old town means opening your window to centuries of history. ❶ Exclusive dawn and dusk: only by staying in the old town can you stroll the empty cobblestone streets at sunrise when the first light hits Château Frontenac’s copper roof; and only at night, after the tourists leave, can you enjoy the quiet and romance of Petit Champlain Street. These are moments “passersby” will never experience. ❷ Deep downtime: staying in the old town isn’t just about checking off landmarks. It lets you explore the city at your own pace: the military history of the star-shaped fortress, the religious theology of Notre-Dame Basilica, the French romance of street murals, and the same filming spots from “Goblin” (the big lawn, Christmas shop, red door…). The best travel is not rushing but having the freedom to choose your time. ❸ High standards: choosing to stay in the old town reflects our commitment to travel quality and the meaning of “depth.” It’s not just a choice of accommodation—it’s an attitude. We want you to be part of Quebec’s story, not just a spectator. 🍁 Of course, Quebec will be a highlight of your trip, but to truly understand eastern Canada, don’t miss these places! In Montreal, experience the unique blend of French culture and a modern North American city; in Ottawa, visit Canada’s capital to learn about the country’s history and culture; head to the four-season resort Mont Tremblant to enjoy the lakes and mountains beloved by Canadians; explore Crystal Falls for the natural thrill of forest waterfalls; then visit the Gulf of St. Lawrence to take a boat tour and witness whales breaching the water... 📢 When you come to Quebec, don’t be a hurried visitor. Join our in-depth itinerary and live the story of the old town. Let the essence of eastern Canada stay not just in your camera but deep in your memory. 🔖 Quick info: Tianbao group codes for staying in Quebec old town: Letter D (stay at a hotel near the old town) Letter V (stay at Fairmont Le Château Frontenac) Click the 🔗 [product recommendations] below to purchase the same package~ For itinerary and details, please contact the merchant via [free consultation] at the bottom left~

Listen up, ladies! There’s a city in North America sealed by 400 years of time—a French dreamland💭 The entire city is enclosed by walls. Cobbled streets wind between the cliffside upper town and the valley lower town. Walking in during midsummer in July feels like stepping right into a scene from an old European film. Today, I’m giving you the full rundown on summer activities in this ancient city—the only one in North America with fully intact city walls👇 🚗 Getting there It takes about 3.5 hours by train from Montreal. Buying a non-refundable ticket in advance on the official website can save you nearly half the price. A round trip costs around 700–800 RMB. The train has Wi-Fi and nice scenery along the way, perfect for catching up on sleep or editing photos. The train station is right next to the old town. It’s a 15-minute walk to the core area. But beware! The old town is full of slopes and cobblestone streets. Dragging a suitcase uphill will make you want to cry. It’s best to take a taxi straight to your accommodation to drop off your luggage before heading out. Public transit within the city is enough to get around. Buy a day pass for unlimited rides; coverage is extensive. If you want to visit waterfalls or islands outside the city, renting a car offers more freedom. Major rental car brands have counters at the airport. 🏛️ Upper town: stand on the cliff and watch the great river flow The upper town is the heart of the old city, with all the main landmarks within walking distance. ⭐ Dufferin Terrace This cliffside boardwalk extends along the edge, with the St. Lawrence River beneath your feet. The river is so wide it looks like the sea. Come around 6 or 7 PM in summer. The sunlight turns the water into shattered gold, the mountain outlines on the opposite shore are clear, and the breeze carries mist that opens up every pore on your skin. ⭐ Star-shaped fortress At the end of the terrace, this is one of the best-preserved military forts in North America. In summer, there’s a scheduled changing of the guard ceremony every day. Soldiers in red uniforms march in formation, and the drumbeats echo between the walls. The scene feels like a time travel experience. Tickets cost about 12 CAD. It’s best to visit in the morning when the light is good for photos and it’s cooler. ⭐ Walk the city walls The only city walls in North America you can walk all the way around! The full loop is about 4.6 km and takes 1.5–2 hours to complete. Along the way, you’ll see the old town’s red copper spires, sailboats on the distant river, and flower-filled balconies at the base of the walls. In July, the wind on the walls is strong and cool, much more comfortable than the streets below. 🎨 Lower town: 400 years of lively French alleys There are two ways to get from upper town to lower town: take the funicular (about 5 CAD one way, just a few seconds, perfect for lazy travelers) or walk the famous “Breakneck Stairs” (free but really steep, don’t push it if your knees aren’t good). ⭐ Petit Champlain Street Known as the oldest commercial street in North America, it’s so narrow two people walking side by side have to turn sideways. Both sides are lined with old stone buildings, with geraniums and lavender on the windowsills. Summer sunlight slants through the gaps between buildings, casting stripes of light and shadow on the cobblestones. The street hides various handmade leather shops, independent galleries, and local artisan workshops. These aren’t the usual mass-produced souvenirs but truly heartfelt handmade items. There’s a small woodcarving shop where the owner carves on site. The flying wood shavings make for a very soothing scene. ⭐ Place Royale The core square of the lower town. Four hundred years ago, French explorers drove the first wooden stake here to found the city. Now, a huge mural wall stands in the center, using trompe-l'œil to layer building facades from different eras, making photos full of stories. In summer, street performers often entertain in the square—accordion players, saxophonists, portrait artists. Sitting on a bench by the square can easily fill an entire afternoon. 🌊 Suburban secret: a waterfall taller than Niagara A 15-minute drive east of the city is a giant waterfall with an 83-meter drop—30 meters taller than Niagara Falls! In summer, the water flow is abundant, and mist rises from the base like a white veil. The best part is you can take a cable car slowly from the top of the falls down to the valley floor or walk across a suspension bridge over the falls. The roaring water beneath pumps your adrenaline. The suspension bridge is free to cross. The cable car costs about 15 CAD round trip. At dusk, the waterfall is lit up. The water curtain glows with colorful lights, looking like a huge flowing gem. 🏝️ Île d’Orléans: bike through a pastoral poem North of the old town is a long, narrow river island. It’s a 20-minute drive across a bridge from the old town. The island feels nothing like a city. It’s all orchards, farms, vineyards, and century-old stone churches. The best summer activity is renting a bike to circle the island, about 60 km total. You can split it into two leisurely rides. Along the way, you’ll pass vast sunflower fields, strawberry picking farms, and riverside meadows where locals picnic on weekends. Several ferry docks on the island offer boat rides back to the old town. Combining biking and ferry rides makes for a fun route. There’s a cheese workshop on the island passed down through generations. You can tour the production process and taste fresh cheese on site. The flavor of freshly made cheese is nothing like supermarket products. 🌙 Where to stay It’s recommended to stay in the upper old town area, where you can walk to all the main attractions. Choose a room with a river view balcony. Open the window to see sailboats slowly moving on the St. Lawrence River and mountain silhouettes in the distance. In summer, sunsets last until 8 or 9 PM. Nestled on the balcony watching the sky change from orange to deep blue brings a peace you can’t get staying in the suburbs. If your budget allows, the lower town near the river is also charming. Fall asleep to the sound of the river and wake up to church bells. The 400-year-old spirit here has never faded. 📋 Quick practical info · Summer average temperature 22–26°C. Big temperature difference between day and night. Bring a light jacket · The old town is entirely French-speaking. English is also understood, but learning a few French phrases will earn you extra points · July hosts a large summer music festival lasting nearly two weeks, with live performances all over the streets · The Canadian dollar is currently about 5.2 RMB. Card payments are widely accepted · The time difference is 12 hours behind Beijing. It’s recommended to allow a day to adjust This city is the kind of place you don’t want to leave once you step inside. Four hundred years ago, the French built a city by this river. Four hundred years later, it remains the most European dreamlike place on the North American continent✨

#hotelreview My stay at Andaz Ottawa ByWard Market was a decent experience, offering a perfect blend of luxury and local charm right in the heart of Canada’s capital. Nestled in the vibrant ByWard Market district, this stylish hotel provided an ideal base for exploring the rich history and lively culture of Ottawa. However there are some areas that the hotel can improve. My check in only happened at 5:30pm due to the mismanagement of the housekeeping schedule. And the staffs didnt really do anything to compensate for tis inconvenience. Second, the hotel's amenities is really weak and boring, featuring only a small gym with few equipments. But other than that, this is a great hotel choice for those visiting Ottawa. My rating: 8/10 #andaz #ottawaexplore

Moraine Lake in Banff National Park, Canada, is world-renowned for its stunning turquoise glacial waters surrounded by the Valley of the Ten Peaks. The highlights are the million-dollar views and canoeing. However, personal vehicles are no longer allowed to drive in and park; visitors must use a shuttle service or stay at the Moraine Lake Lodge. I consider this the most beautiful lake I've ever visited—it's easily my number one. Highlights and impressions: The crystal-clear, emerald or turquoise water gets its striking color from rock flour. There's a short hike up the Rockpile Trail for that iconic, postcard-perfect panoramic view. Canoeing is a highly popular activity, offering an incredibly romantic vibe. Private vehicles are prohibited from entering (except for Moraine Lake Lodge guests or those with a disabled parking permit). You must book a Parks Canada Shuttle ticket in advance or use a private shuttle service. The lake is only accessible during the snow-free season (typically from late May to mid-October each year).

Drive from Toronto to Kingston's Thousand Islands, where in July the lake water is clear and blue, with over a thousand glacial islands scattered across the surface.

The glacially formed archipelago offers a peaceful and soothing landscape, making it an excellent short trip to escape the city's hustle and bustle. [Island] Travel Tips 1. July is windy on the lake, so bring a light jacket, sun hat, and sunscreen as UV rays are strong. 2. The cruise has limited shaded areas, so bring your own drinking water and light snacks. 3. Board the boat on time; some islands are private property and landing is prohibited. Do not dock without permission. 4. The lake's reflection is dazzling; sunglasses are recommended, and try to avoid taking photos in the harsh midday light. 5. The drive from Toronto is long, so fill up your gas tank in advance and allow plenty of time for the round trip.

#canadatrip Cons: Overpriced and overrated. Parking is expensive, and food options inside are mostly unhealthy and way too costly for what you get. The overall experience doesn’t match the high ticket and food prices. Definitely not worth it for what’s offered; 1 out of 5. Pros: I visited Canada’s Wonderland this past summer and spent a full day enjoying both the rides and the water park. It was a hot day, so I started with Splash Works; the water area was lively but not overwhelming. There are several pools and slides for every age, and it’s a great place to cool off. The wave pool was a highlight, and there were plenty of shaded spots and chairs to relax between rides. After the water park, I explored the rest of the park and went on a few of the main roller coasters. The sight of the massive tracks and loops from a distance still makes the park feel impressive every time you visit. The atmosphere is energetic but family-friendly; with lots of music, food stands, and people having fun. I ended the day near the main fountain and mountain area, which looks especially beautiful in the sunlight. The water and landscaping give it a resort feel, and it’s a perfect spot to take photos before leaving. Overall, it was a great summer day; well organized, clean, and full of energy. If you plan ahead and arrive early, you can easily make the most of both the water park and the rides.

Just returned from Canada, and the aftereffects are strong. That land has a magic that pulls you out of everyday trivialities—the snowy peaks of the Rockies, the cobblestone streets of Quebec, the Pacific breeze… my phone storage kept filling up again and again. If you’re planning a trip, this straightforward guide should help you avoid some detours. Trip highlights and planning Canada is huge, so it’s unrealistic to see it all at once. It’s best to pick one side first. Western Canada features stunning natural wonders and offers a “visual overload” experience. Eastern Canada is full of French charm, perfect for leisurely wandering. Western Canada (Banff + Vancouver) must-see spots: Banff National Park: Emerald waters of Lake Louise surrounded by mountains, and the even more stunning blue-green Moraine Lake—be sure to go boating. It’s best to drive from Calgary, about 1.5 hours away. During peak season, book your park entry 7 days in advance. Before 10 AM is the best time to avoid crowds. Columbia Icefield: Experience the giant ice explorer vehicle driving onto the Athabasca Glacier in Jasper National Park. It’s a one-of-a-kind feeling. Stanley Park in Vancouver: One of the largest urban parks in North America. Ride along the 8.8 km seawall trail with forest on one side and ocean on the other—extremely relaxing. The park is free. In autumn, the red maples combined with the sea view capture the soul of Vancouver. Capilano Suspension Bridge Park: Walk among the rainforest treetops. Great for adventure lovers and photographers. Free shuttle service is available from downtown. Eastern Canada (Toronto + Quebec) must-see spots: Niagara Falls: It’s recommended to buy a package that includes the Maid of the Mist boat tour to experience the roaring water up close. Remember to wear a raincoat. It’s a 1.5-hour drive from Toronto. Old Quebec City: Filming location for the Korean drama “Goblin” and the only place in North America with preserved city walls. The Fairmont Le Château Frontenac is a landmark. The cobblestone streets of Petit Champlain are lined with colorful shops, giving a European vibe. Entry to the old city is free. Visit in the morning for fewer crowds and better photos. Some buildings require tickets for interior visits. Old Montreal: Visit the Notre-Dame Basilica, whose lavish interior is worth seeing. From Mount Royal Park, enjoy panoramic city views. In autumn, it’s a prime spot for maple leaf viewing. Parliament Hill in Ottawa: The Gothic architecture is grand and solemn. There’s a light show at night. The surrounding area has many canals where you can boat in summer and skate in winter. Food recommendations Poutine (fries with gravy and cheese curds): Canada’s national dish, originating in Quebec. Hot gravy poured over fries and cheese curds. Try it at street-side shops in Old Quebec City. It pairs perfectly with beer. Montreal smoked meat sandwich: Schwartz’s is the most famous. Smoked brisket served on rye bread, juicy and flavorful. Fresh lobster: Available in Vancouver or Toronto. Simply boiled and dipped in butter, it’s incredibly fresh and sweet. Maple syrup and ice wine: Look for the “Canada No.1” label on maple syrup. Wineries near Niagara Falls offer ice wine tastings. It’s very sweet and makes a great gift. Nanaimo bars: A three-layer dessert with a coconut base, custard middle, and chocolate top. Goes well with black coffee. Travel tips Visa and internet: Apply for a visa or eTA in advance. Buy a local SIM card or enable international roaming. You’ll need internet for navigation and research. Currency and tipping: Card payments are common. Carry a small amount of cash (CAD). Restaurants usually expect 13%–15% tip. Clothing and gear: Canada has big temperature swings between morning and night, especially in the Rockies. Bring a light jacket or shell even in summer. Sunscreen and a sun hat are essential on sunny days due to strong UV rays. Hiking shoes are important as there’s a lot of walking in scenic areas. Transportation and driving: Self-driving is highly recommended in Western Canada. In Eastern Canada, VIA trains or buses are convenient between cities. Download offline maps in advance, as some areas in Banff have no signal. Use mobile apps or PRESTO cards for city buses and subways. Museums and closing times: Many art galleries and museums close on Mondays, such as the Royal Ontario Museum. Check official websites and book tickets in advance. Tripods and flash photography are not allowed at the CN Tower, and the observation deck stops admitting visitors at 9 PM. Respect wildlife: Keep your distance from bears, deer, and other animals in Banff or Jasper. Enjoy them from your car and do not feed them.

The August wind carries the salty sea mist and the sweet scent of mangoes, glass skyscrapers flicker in the tropical downpour, and the entire city feels like a newly opened nautical music box, flowing with the polyphony of colonial history and modern trade in the morning light. · -- 🌴 Three-Day Travel Guide Transportation: It is recommended to buy a metro card (you can ride the century-old canal train), the old town area is suitable for exploring on foot Accommodation: Recommended boutique hotels in Casco Viejo, with terraces offering views of the Pacific sunset and church bell tower silhouettes 🌟 Day One: Time and Space Folded · Panama Canal Morning Mist Watch massive ships pass through the Miraflores Locks at 7 a.m., the sound of steel cables rubbing accompanied by Spanish commentary. When the gates open, the waters of two oceans embrace here. Locals say, "This is the most romantic seam on Earth." · Old Town Maze Walk Get lost among colorful colonial buildings, the altar of the Golden Church covered with mother-of-pearl inlaid stars. Around the corner, meet artisans making jewelry from discarded ship wood, who say every grain records the voyage story of a ship. · Seafood Market Twilight Fresh sea urchin opened at the Caisanero Market, paired with lime juice and volcanic chili sauce. Fishmongers often give you two extra oysters, pointing to old photos on the wall of a young Che Guevara working here. 🏙️ Day Two: Rainforest and Neon · Biodiversity Museum Under the colorful steel giant sail designed by Frank Gehry, see the giant Victoria water lily supporting the entire Central American ecological map. The curator will let you touch corals from both oceans and explain how they meet here. · Rainforest Canopy Walkway A twenty-minute taxi ride to Metropolitan Park, where toucans and sloths stroll overhead among the treetops. The guide suddenly whispers, "Listen, this is the monkey symphony Columbus heard five hundred years ago." · Coastal Avenue Nocturne Along Cinta Costera, watch container ship lights merge into a galaxy, street performers play the marimba with the "Song of Panama." Buy a cocktail mixed with local sugarcane rum, feeling as if you are in a futuristic nautical era. 🎨 Day Three: Hidden Treasures · Taboga Island Exploration Take a boat to a secret island in the Pearl Islands, where wild parrots peck mangoes among the ruins of a Spanish colonial fortress. The island keeper will show you pirate marks carved on the cliffs—Captain Morgan once buried treasure here. · Handmade Workshop Experience Learn fabric dyeing at the "Mola House" in San Felipe, using indigo and annatto to dye the red and blue of the Panama flag. The eighty-year-old shop owner grandmother says, "Our tradition is older than the canal." · Local Kitchen Secrets Follow a chef to the market to learn about cassava, taro, and twenty kinds of bananas. In an open kitchen, bake corn tortillas on volcanic stone, paired with Colon lemon-marinated fish, the sourness as lively as the Panamanian spirit. · -- 🌉 Special Experiences · Canal Lock Cycling: Ride a bike along Amador Causeway, watching cargo ships slowly rise and fall beside you · Old Town Moonlight Cinema: Watch outdoor movies every Friday at Bolivar Plaza, with coconut shadows and colonial buildings forming a natural screen · Traditional Costume Making: Try on the flower-embroidered Panama pollera dress at the Pollera Museum, where artisans say each piece takes a year to complete · -- "Panama City taught me: true connection is not conquering geography, but like the canal—allowing different civilizations to create new rhythms through collision."

Feel the thrill of Niagara Falls! 🌊 Standing close to the edge, watching the sheer power as water cascades down, is unforgettable. Take a walk along the observation deck or opt for a boat tour to experience the falls up close (expect to get drenched!). The falls are equally stunning at night when they’re beautifully illuminated. A spectacular sight you can’t miss! 💦✨ #voyagevibes #niagarafalls #ontario #canada

Lake Louise in Banff National Park, Canada, is a picturesque turquoise-emerald freshwater lake surrounded by a breathtaking backdrop of snow-capped mountains and glaciers. With a 10/10 rating for being absolutely worth the trip, it is perfect for canoeing and world-class nature hiking. Must-Do Activities Emerald-blue water: Created by fine rock dust (glacial flour) from glaciers reflecting the sunlight. Canoeing: The highlight activity on the lake, where you can experience tranquility and panoramic views (costs around 95-105 CAD per hour). Hiking: Popular trails like The Beehive or paths leading to high vantage points offer full, spectacular views of the lake. Hiking takes about 2-5 hours. Best Time to Visit: Summer (June - August): The ice melts to reveal clear, vibrant blue water. The great weather makes it ideal for hiking and boating (expect the biggest crowds during this time).

🏨 Overview If you're like me, you might find the "heritage hotels" within the old city of Khiva to sound romantic but not necessarily comfortable. Rooms converted from old madrassas are often cramped, with outdated facilities, and issues with air conditioning, water pressure, and soundproofing. I later realized that Khiva is actually very small, and it only takes about a 10-minute drive from outside the city to the edge of the old town. So, following the principle of "stay new rather than old," I turned my attention to the newly developed Arda Khiva area. This is a themed tourist area built in recent years, featuring large water entertainment facilities, an opera house, gondolas on canals, and several new hotels. The streets are clean, with a mix of "old city charm and modern leisure," reminiscent of a blend between Morocco and Venice. However, it’s currently not very popular, with hardly any tourists around, making it surprisingly quiet and ideal for travelers who want to take photos, relax, and avoid crowds. There are a few hotels here, such as the more expensive Farovon Khiva, but I opted for the more cost-effective Karvon Saroy. 🛏 In Room The public areas and rooms of the hotel are rich in local character, and each room comes with a balcony. With very few guests—probably only three or four rooms occupied—the hotel atmosphere was very quiet. 🍽 Dining Breakfast is still served buffet-style and hasn’t been downgraded despite the low number of guests. There’s a decent selection of bread, nuts, dried fruits, and fresh fruits. While not particularly exciting, it’s enough to fill you up. 🧘🏻♂️ Facilities Don’t expect a gym or pool, but being located within the tourist area, there’s plenty to explore nearby. Hotel management is a bit lax. For instance, the receptionist accidentally added an extra "0" to my bill, turning a room charge of over 400 into over 4000! Since the system couldn’t reverse the transaction, they refunded me in cash (USD), and with the credit card cashback, I ended up unexpectedly gaining over 80 bucks. Aside from this, the overall experience was relaxed and comfortable, with stable Wi-Fi and ample hot water. 🔖 Conclusion If you don’t insist on staying within the old city, consider looking further afield. Staying in a new area like Arda Khiva offers a more spacious and quieter travel experience, giving you a different perspective of Khiva. @trip.com_hk Download the Trip.com app → Search "FamilyTravel" on the homepage → Discover new family travel recommendations and exclusive offers!

Standing in the heart of Ottawa, the Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica is one of Canada's most breathtaking architectural treasures. Step inside, and you're greeted by soaring vaulted ceilings, shimmering blue interiors, intricate wood carvings, and dazzling stained-glass windows that fill the cathedral with a warm, ethereal glow. Built in the 19th century, it is the oldest and largest church in Ottawa, renowned for its striking twin silver spires and richly decorated Gothic Revival interior. Every detail—from the hand-carved altars to the golden sanctuary—reflects extraordinary craftsmanship and timeless elegance. Whether you're drawn by history, architecture, or simply a moment of quiet reflection, this remarkable cathedral offers an unforgettable experience. 📍 Location: Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada ⛪ Highlight: Ottawa's oldest and largest church, celebrated for its magnificent Gothic Revival architecture ✨ Feature: Twin silver spires, vibrant stained-glass windows, ornate wood carvings, soaring vaulted ceilings, and peaceful interiors 🍃 Atmosphere: Serene, majestic, and deeply inspiring 📸 Best for: Architecture lovers, cultural exploration, photography, and quiet contemplation 💡 Travel Tip: Visit in the morning or late afternoon, when natural light streams through the stained glass and beautifully illuminates the cathedral's intricate interior. Some places impress with their grandeur. This cathedral leaves a lasting impression through its quiet beauty. ⛪✨

If there is a kind of scenery that can make you forget the cold and lose track of time, it must be the northern lights. The northern lights, also known as the aurora, are a natural phenomenon formed when charged particles released by the sun collide with oxygen and nitrogen in the Earth's upper atmosphere. Green is the most common color, while red, purple, pink, and blue are relatively rare. When solar activity intensifies, the aurora becomes brighter and more spectacular, sometimes covering the entire sky. The best places to see the northern lights in Canada include Yellowknife, Whitehorse, and Jasper National Park. To increase your chances of seeing the northern lights, it is recommended to visit between late August and early April, with November to March being the prime viewing season. The aurora is most active from 10 PM to 2 AM. Staying away from city lights and choosing clear, cloudless nights makes it easier to experience this cosmic romance. For photography enthusiasts, the northern lights are a visual feast. Snow-covered landscapes, tranquil lakes, forests, cabins, and the vibrant aurora blend together, making every shutter click feel like capturing a dreamlike masterpiece. Some say those who see the northern lights will receive good luck; others say it symbolizes hope, dreams, and a beautiful beginning. Whether the legends are true or not, when you see that flowing sky with your own eyes, you will be deeply moved by its awe. If I could choose only one natural wonder to chase in my lifetime, I would definitely choose the northern lights in Canada. 🌌 Are you willing to embark on a journey to chase the light for this dreamlike sky? Follow me to explore Canada’s most beautiful scenery and discover more travel destinations worth visiting in a lifetime! 🇨🇦

Most travelers visiting Vancouver stick to Stanley Park, the Capilano Suspension Bridge, and the Canada Place waterfront. But if you venture just a little off the beaten path, the city reveals a completely different side of itself. Abandoned towers, secret beaches, historic gardens, forest trails, and scenic viewpoints known mostly to locals. Here are the places that were true discoveries for me. 🌊 1. Wreck Beach Vancouver's most unique beach is tucked away at the base of towering cliffs near the UBC campus. You can only get down here via a long wooden staircase with almost 500 steps. Even if you don't plan on staying long, the ocean views alone are worth the trek down. 🌿 2. Nitobe Memorial Garden One of the most beautiful Japanese gardens outside of Japan. You won't find noisy tourist groups here—just bridges, stone lanterns, koi carp, and absolute tranquility. 🌲 3. Pacific Spirit Regional Park A massive rainforest right on the edge of the city. Tens of kilometers of trails weave through giant cedars and Douglas firs, and just a few minutes into your walk, it's hard to believe downtown Vancouver is so close. 🪨 4. Whytecliff Park A small oceanfront park famous for its islet, which you can walk to at low tide. It's one of the best spots to observe starfish, sea anemones, and other tide pool creatures. 🌅 5. Queen Elizabeth Park Quarry Garden Most people come here for the observation deck, but the park's real secret is the former quarry transformed into a multi-level garden with waterfalls, bridges, and exotic plants. 🌊 6. Lighthouse Park An ancient coastal forest with trees over 400 years old leads to granite cliffs offering breathtaking views of the strait and the Point Atkinson Lighthouse. 🚶 7. Trout Lake A peaceful lake in the eastern part of the city where locals love to hang out. It's a great place to have a picnic, feed the ducks, or watch the sunset away from the tourist crowds. 🌸 8. Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden The first classical Chinese garden built outside of China by master artisans from Suzhou. Many people walk right past it, completely unaware that a true slice of traditional China is hidden behind its modest walls. 🚢 9. Shipyards District (North Vancouver) Most tourists don't cross the inlet, but just a few minutes on the SeaBus lands you in an atmospheric neighborhood with stunning views of the Vancouver skyline, markets, cafes, and a scenic boardwalk. 🏞️ 10. Cleveland Dam This high dam set against the North Shore mountains looks especially impressive after it rains, when the water roars down the spillway. Beautiful walking trails start right nearby. 🌲 11. Quarry Rock A short hike of about an hour leads to one of the most stunning panoramic viewpoints in the region. It offers a sweeping view of Indian Arm, surrounded by dense evergreen forests. 🐦 12. Reifel Bird Sanctuary Located about an hour's drive from downtown, this is a true paradise for bird watchers. Depending on the season, you can spot hundreds of species of migratory birds, cranes, owls, and even bald eagles. 🌉 13. Lynn Canyon Ecology Centre Most people head to the paid Capilano bridge, but at Lynn Canyon, you can cross a suspension bridge for free, check out waterfalls, and learn more about the ecology of British Columbia's famous rainforests. 🌊 14. Iona Beach Regional Park A rare spot featuring a long jetty that stretches almost four kilometers right out into the ocean. Walking along it feels like you're walking on water, surrounded by nothing but the sea, mountains, and airplanes coming in for a landing. 🌄 15. Cypress Lookout Most people come here in the winter to ski, but in the summer, this viewpoint becomes one of the best places to see all of Vancouver, the inlet, the islands, and the mountain peaks in one sweeping glance. 💡 My top tip Don't try to see Vancouver just by ticking off a list of its most popular attractions. The most memorable experiences are often waiting exactly where tourist groups rarely venture.

If you're visiting the small town of Canmore in Alberta, you absolutely can't miss the highly popular The Grizzly Paw Brewing Company on Main Street! Located at 622 Main St, this brewery and restaurant not only offers a fantastic dining atmosphere but also features massive windows. You can enjoy your meal while taking in the majestic mountain views—it's the perfect spot for photos! 🍻 Loved by both locals and tourists, this place often hosts live music and holiday-themed events. Sitting on the patio truly makes you feel like you're in the heart of a Canadian mountain town!

Their craft beer is a local staple, and getting a Flight Set (a sampler of mini beers) with friends is a must. On weekends, you'll see plenty of people chatting and chilling all afternoon. Even if you don't drink, you can enjoy their signature sodas and handmade desserts. I personally tried the Grizzly Burger—the cheese and gravy were perfectly rich. Paired with their house-made fries and a glass of their signature beer, the whole experience was just top-notch! Quick Tips: 1. It gets a bit chilly in the mountains at dusk, so remember to bring a light jacket if you're sitting on the patio! 2. It gets pretty crowded during peak dining hours. If you want to avoid a long wait, try to arrive early or call ahead to book a table. 3. They have a souvenir shop where you can grab bottled versions of their beer and soda to go. They make great gifts or treats for yourself. Enjoy!

In wintertime Beijing, if you want to take your children away from the city's hustle and bustle, Yanbai Mountain Villa is definitely a hidden gem! As a new member of SLH (Small Luxury Hotels of the World) in Beijing, it is located by Yanqi Lake. With every step, the scenery changes, as if you are inside a painting, allowing families to experience the perfect blend of nature and luxury during winter. 🥂 Hotel Design Aesthetics Designed by Pritzker Prize winner Master Wang Shu, the architecture is inspired by Song Dynasty artist Wang Ximeng’s "A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains," and the landscape layout references Song Dynasty Liu Songnian’s "Four Views of Mountains and Water," grand in scale, simple and elegant. In winter, the snow-covered gardens and antique-style buildings complement each other beautifully, like a three-dimensional Song Dynasty landscape painting. Children can experience the charm of Chinese aesthetics, playing while cultivating their sense of beauty. The hotel backs onto the southern foothills of the Yanshan Mountains, with a 27,000-square-meter garden housing over 50,000 Yanshan pines and cypress trees. In winter, the pine branches remain verdant, dotted with snow, creating stunning scenery. The 32 rooms and suites are scattered among the courtyard and forest views, each offering a different winter landscape, allowing children to embrace nature right from their windows. ☕ Family-Friendly Experiences The hotel offers 24-hour attentive, customized "Stylish Butler" service. The butler thoughtfully arranges itineraries and prepares children’s supplies (such as kids’ toiletries, small slippers, picture books) according to family needs, making traveling with kids worry-free. Unmissable family experiences: ✨ Enjoy panoramic views of Yanqi Lake and the southern shore of Yanqi Island from the viewing platform. In winter, the lake surface freezes, and the distant mountains are snow-capped, creating spectacular scenery for children to feel the vastness of nature. ✨ At the lobby bar, tea pavilion, or whiskey bar, order a hot drink (kids can have warm milk or juice), warm up while admiring the beautiful views outside, making for a cozy and pleasant family gathering. ✨ The hotel offers various dining options to satisfy children’s tastes, including classic French cuisine, traditional Chaoshan dishes, and even VIP state banquet-level dining. Fresh ingredients and exquisite cooking, plus children’s exclusive meals (such as tomato meat sauce pasta and vegetable porridge), ensure kids eat happily. ✨ Stroll through the garden landscape, peaceful and serene in winter. Introduce children to pine and cypress trees, breathe fresh air, and exercise; you can also enjoy the outdoor hot spring pool to dispel winter chill, with gentle children’s hot spring services available. ✨ Walk along the rooftop walkway, overlooking the entire villa’s beautiful scenery. The winter sun is gentle, letting children feel the breeze on their faces and enjoy quality family time. ✨ Interact and play with children in the art gallery or banquet hall amid mountain and water light effects and soft music, experiencing an artistic atmosphere and nurturing children’s artistic sensibilities. 🎪 Nearby Family Attractions The hotel offers customized activity services. Popular family attractions around Yanqi Lake include Hongluo Temple, Mutianyu Great Wall, Baiquan Mountain, Qinglong Gorge, Huanghuacheng Water Great Wall, and Beijing Huairou International Ski Resort: · Hongluo Temple: The ancient temple’s snowy winter scenery is stunning. Take children to pray, admire plum blossoms, and experience Buddhist culture. · Mutianyu Great Wall: Climb the Great Wall in winter, admire the snow-covered walls, feel the weight of history, and take the cable car to reduce physical exertion. · Beijing Huairou International Ski Resort: Let children experience the fun of skiing, with a children’s ski area and professional instructors, ensuring kids safely enjoy winter sports. 🏷️ Winter Family Tips Winter temperatures in Beijing are low. When traveling with children, bring thick coats, hats, scarves, gloves, and snow boots to avoid catching cold. The hotel rooms have sufficient heating, so lightweight indoor clothing can be prepared. Nearby attractions are some distance from the hotel, so self-driving or having the butler arrange transportation is recommended for easier travel with kids.

Many people visiting eastern Canada for the first time will definitely stop in Quebec. ‼️ Unfortunately, most tours on the market only let you “visit” here, not “stay” here. 📸 Those who just “visit” usually take a photo of Château Frontenac, stroll along Petit Champlain Street and Place Royale, then rush off to another city. This has become the standard pace for most tours. ✖️ So, those who only “visit” leave with beautiful photos but miss many of Quebec’s most captivating places and moments. 💥 Don’t be tricked by low-cost tours! This is the only walled city in North America that’s a UNESCO World Heritage site. Its true charm isn’t just in the daytime. 🌌 When night falls, the tour groups leave, the old town lights up warmly, the cobblestone streets return to quiet, the aroma from corner cafés drifts through the air, and history and life begin to intertwine again. That’s when you realize Quebec isn’t just a sightseeing spot—it’s a living, breathing city. 🔥 This year marks the 10th anniversary of “Goblin.” While countless people flock to Petit Champlain Street searching for that “magic door,” we want to offer you a truly immersive experience of living in this World Heritage site. ⚠️ Many eastern Canada tours pass through Quebec. To cut costs, many itineraries leave the old town for the next city right after afternoon sightseeing, treating Quebec as just a stopover. We see it differently—we consider it one of the most important experiences of the entire trip. 💥 You can stay at a hotel near Quebec’s old town, or upgrade to the iconic Fairmont Le Château Frontenac, turning your trip from “walking into the old town” to “living in the old town.” ⁉️ Why we insist: staying in the old town is the only right way to experience it 💢 Most tours, to save costs, book accommodations in other cities, making you say goodbye to the old town’s lights at dusk in a rush. Staying in the old town means opening your window to centuries of history. ❶ Exclusive dawn and dusk: only by staying in the old town can you stroll the empty cobblestone streets at sunrise when the first light hits Château Frontenac’s copper roof; and only at night, after the tourists leave, can you enjoy the quiet and romance of Petit Champlain Street. These are moments “passersby” will never experience. ❷ Deep downtime: staying in the old town isn’t just about checking off landmarks. It lets you explore the city at your own pace: the military history of the star-shaped fortress, the religious theology of Notre-Dame Basilica, the French romance of street murals, and the same filming spots from “Goblin” (the big lawn, Christmas shop, red door…). The best travel is not rushing but having the freedom to choose your time. ❸ High standards: choosing to stay in the old town reflects our commitment to travel quality and the meaning of “depth.” It’s not just a choice of accommodation—it’s an attitude. We want you to be part of Quebec’s story, not just a spectator. 🍁 Of course, Quebec will be a highlight of your trip, but to truly understand eastern Canada, don’t miss these places! In Montreal, experience the unique blend of French culture and a modern North American city; in Ottawa, visit Canada’s capital to learn about the country’s history and culture; head to the four-season resort Mont Tremblant to enjoy the lakes and mountains beloved by Canadians; explore Crystal Falls for the natural thrill of forest waterfalls; then visit the Gulf of St. Lawrence to take a boat tour and witness whales breaching the water... 📢 When you come to Quebec, don’t be a hurried visitor. Join our in-depth itinerary and live the story of the old town. Let the essence of eastern Canada stay not just in your camera but deep in your memory. 🔖 Quick info: Tianbao group codes for staying in Quebec old town: Letter D (stay at a hotel near the old town) Letter V (stay at Fairmont Le Château Frontenac) Click the 🔗 [product recommendations] below to purchase the same package~ For itinerary and details, please contact the merchant via [free consultation] at the bottom left~

Listen up, ladies! There’s a city in North America sealed by 400 years of time—a French dreamland💭 The entire city is enclosed by walls. Cobbled streets wind between the cliffside upper town and the valley lower town. Walking in during midsummer in July feels like stepping right into a scene from an old European film. Today, I’m giving you the full rundown on summer activities in this ancient city—the only one in North America with fully intact city walls👇 🚗 Getting there It takes about 3.5 hours by train from Montreal. Buying a non-refundable ticket in advance on the official website can save you nearly half the price. A round trip costs around 700–800 RMB. The train has Wi-Fi and nice scenery along the way, perfect for catching up on sleep or editing photos. The train station is right next to the old town. It’s a 15-minute walk to the core area. But beware! The old town is full of slopes and cobblestone streets. Dragging a suitcase uphill will make you want to cry. It’s best to take a taxi straight to your accommodation to drop off your luggage before heading out. Public transit within the city is enough to get around. Buy a day pass for unlimited rides; coverage is extensive. If you want to visit waterfalls or islands outside the city, renting a car offers more freedom. Major rental car brands have counters at the airport. 🏛️ Upper town: stand on the cliff and watch the great river flow The upper town is the heart of the old city, with all the main landmarks within walking distance. ⭐ Dufferin Terrace This cliffside boardwalk extends along the edge, with the St. Lawrence River beneath your feet. The river is so wide it looks like the sea. Come around 6 or 7 PM in summer. The sunlight turns the water into shattered gold, the mountain outlines on the opposite shore are clear, and the breeze carries mist that opens up every pore on your skin. ⭐ Star-shaped fortress At the end of the terrace, this is one of the best-preserved military forts in North America. In summer, there’s a scheduled changing of the guard ceremony every day. Soldiers in red uniforms march in formation, and the drumbeats echo between the walls. The scene feels like a time travel experience. Tickets cost about 12 CAD. It’s best to visit in the morning when the light is good for photos and it’s cooler. ⭐ Walk the city walls The only city walls in North America you can walk all the way around! The full loop is about 4.6 km and takes 1.5–2 hours to complete. Along the way, you’ll see the old town’s red copper spires, sailboats on the distant river, and flower-filled balconies at the base of the walls. In July, the wind on the walls is strong and cool, much more comfortable than the streets below. 🎨 Lower town: 400 years of lively French alleys There are two ways to get from upper town to lower town: take the funicular (about 5 CAD one way, just a few seconds, perfect for lazy travelers) or walk the famous “Breakneck Stairs” (free but really steep, don’t push it if your knees aren’t good). ⭐ Petit Champlain Street Known as the oldest commercial street in North America, it’s so narrow two people walking side by side have to turn sideways. Both sides are lined with old stone buildings, with geraniums and lavender on the windowsills. Summer sunlight slants through the gaps between buildings, casting stripes of light and shadow on the cobblestones. The street hides various handmade leather shops, independent galleries, and local artisan workshops. These aren’t the usual mass-produced souvenirs but truly heartfelt handmade items. There’s a small woodcarving shop where the owner carves on site. The flying wood shavings make for a very soothing scene. ⭐ Place Royale The core square of the lower town. Four hundred years ago, French explorers drove the first wooden stake here to found the city. Now, a huge mural wall stands in the center, using trompe-l'œil to layer building facades from different eras, making photos full of stories. In summer, street performers often entertain in the square—accordion players, saxophonists, portrait artists. Sitting on a bench by the square can easily fill an entire afternoon. 🌊 Suburban secret: a waterfall taller than Niagara A 15-minute drive east of the city is a giant waterfall with an 83-meter drop—30 meters taller than Niagara Falls! In summer, the water flow is abundant, and mist rises from the base like a white veil. The best part is you can take a cable car slowly from the top of the falls down to the valley floor or walk across a suspension bridge over the falls. The roaring water beneath pumps your adrenaline. The suspension bridge is free to cross. The cable car costs about 15 CAD round trip. At dusk, the waterfall is lit up. The water curtain glows with colorful lights, looking like a huge flowing gem. 🏝️ Île d’Orléans: bike through a pastoral poem North of the old town is a long, narrow river island. It’s a 20-minute drive across a bridge from the old town. The island feels nothing like a city. It’s all orchards, farms, vineyards, and century-old stone churches. The best summer activity is renting a bike to circle the island, about 60 km total. You can split it into two leisurely rides. Along the way, you’ll pass vast sunflower fields, strawberry picking farms, and riverside meadows where locals picnic on weekends. Several ferry docks on the island offer boat rides back to the old town. Combining biking and ferry rides makes for a fun route. There’s a cheese workshop on the island passed down through generations. You can tour the production process and taste fresh cheese on site. The flavor of freshly made cheese is nothing like supermarket products. 🌙 Where to stay It’s recommended to stay in the upper old town area, where you can walk to all the main attractions. Choose a room with a river view balcony. Open the window to see sailboats slowly moving on the St. Lawrence River and mountain silhouettes in the distance. In summer, sunsets last until 8 or 9 PM. Nestled on the balcony watching the sky change from orange to deep blue brings a peace you can’t get staying in the suburbs. If your budget allows, the lower town near the river is also charming. Fall asleep to the sound of the river and wake up to church bells. The 400-year-old spirit here has never faded. 📋 Quick practical info · Summer average temperature 22–26°C. Big temperature difference between day and night. Bring a light jacket · The old town is entirely French-speaking. English is also understood, but learning a few French phrases will earn you extra points · July hosts a large summer music festival lasting nearly two weeks, with live performances all over the streets · The Canadian dollar is currently about 5.2 RMB. Card payments are widely accepted · The time difference is 12 hours behind Beijing. It’s recommended to allow a day to adjust This city is the kind of place you don’t want to leave once you step inside. Four hundred years ago, the French built a city by this river. Four hundred years later, it remains the most European dreamlike place on the North American continent✨

#hotelreview My stay at Andaz Ottawa ByWard Market was a decent experience, offering a perfect blend of luxury and local charm right in the heart of Canada’s capital. Nestled in the vibrant ByWard Market district, this stylish hotel provided an ideal base for exploring the rich history and lively culture of Ottawa. However there are some areas that the hotel can improve. My check in only happened at 5:30pm due to the mismanagement of the housekeeping schedule. And the staffs didnt really do anything to compensate for tis inconvenience. Second, the hotel's amenities is really weak and boring, featuring only a small gym with few equipments. But other than that, this is a great hotel choice for those visiting Ottawa. My rating: 8/10 #andaz #ottawaexplore

Moraine Lake in Banff National Park, Canada, is world-renowned for its stunning turquoise glacial waters surrounded by the Valley of the Ten Peaks. The highlights are the million-dollar views and canoeing. However, personal vehicles are no longer allowed to drive in and park; visitors must use a shuttle service or stay at the Moraine Lake Lodge. I consider this the most beautiful lake I've ever visited—it's easily my number one. Highlights and impressions: The crystal-clear, emerald or turquoise water gets its striking color from rock flour. There's a short hike up the Rockpile Trail for that iconic, postcard-perfect panoramic view. Canoeing is a highly popular activity, offering an incredibly romantic vibe. Private vehicles are prohibited from entering (except for Moraine Lake Lodge guests or those with a disabled parking permit). You must book a Parks Canada Shuttle ticket in advance or use a private shuttle service. The lake is only accessible during the snow-free season (typically from late May to mid-October each year).

Drive from Toronto to Kingston's Thousand Islands, where in July the lake water is clear and blue, with over a thousand glacial islands scattered across the surface.

Board the boat on time; some islands are private property and landing is prohibited. Do not dock without permission. 4. The lake's reflection is dazzling; sunglasses are recommended, and try to avoid taking photos in the harsh midday light. 5. The drive from Toronto is long, so fill up your gas tank in advance and allow plenty of time for the round trip.

#canadatrip Cons: Overpriced and overrated. Parking is expensive, and food options inside are mostly unhealthy and way too costly for what you get. The overall experience doesn’t match the high ticket and food prices. Definitely not worth it for what’s offered; 1 out of 5. Pros: I visited Canada’s Wonderland this past summer and spent a full day enjoying both the rides and the water park. It was a hot day, so I started with Splash Works; the water area was lively but not overwhelming. There are several pools and slides for every age, and it’s a great place to cool off. The wave pool was a highlight, and there were plenty of shaded spots and chairs to relax between rides. After the water park, I explored the rest of the park and went on a few of the main roller coasters. The sight of the massive tracks and loops from a distance still makes the park feel impressive every time you visit. The atmosphere is energetic but family-friendly; with lots of music, food stands, and people having fun. I ended the day near the main fountain and mountain area, which looks especially beautiful in the sunlight. The water and landscaping give it a resort feel, and it’s a perfect spot to take photos before leaving. Overall, it was a great summer day; well organized, clean, and full of energy. If you plan ahead and arrive early, you can easily make the most of both the water park and the rides.

Just returned from Canada, and the aftereffects are strong. That land has a magic that pulls you out of everyday trivialities—the snowy peaks of the Rockies, the cobblestone streets of Quebec, the Pacific breeze… my phone storage kept filling up again and again. If you’re planning a trip, this straightforward guide should help you avoid some detours. Trip highlights and planning Canada is huge, so it’s unrealistic to see it all at once. It’s best to pick one side first. Western Canada features stunning natural wonders and offers a “visual overload” experience. Eastern Canada is full of French charm, perfect for leisurely wandering. Western Canada (Banff + Vancouver) must-see spots: Banff National Park: Emerald waters of Lake Louise surrounded by mountains, and the even more stunning blue-green Moraine Lake—be sure to go boating. It’s best to drive from Calgary, about 1.5 hours away. During peak season, book your park entry 7 days in advance. Before 10 AM is the best time to avoid crowds. Columbia Icefield: Experience the giant ice explorer vehicle driving onto the Athabasca Glacier in Jasper National Park. It’s a one-of-a-kind feeling. Stanley Park in Vancouver: One of the largest urban parks in North America. Ride along the 8.8 km seawall trail with forest on one side and ocean on the other—extremely relaxing. The park is free. In autumn, the red maples combined with the sea view capture the soul of Vancouver. Capilano Suspension Bridge Park: Walk among the rainforest treetops. Great for adventure lovers and photographers. Free shuttle service is available from downtown. Eastern Canada (Toronto + Quebec) must-see spots: Niagara Falls: It’s recommended to buy a package that includes the Maid of the Mist boat tour to experience the roaring water up close. Remember to wear a raincoat. It’s a 1.5-hour drive from Toronto. Old Quebec City: Filming location for the Korean drama “Goblin” and the only place in North America with preserved city walls. The Fairmont Le Château Frontenac is a landmark. The cobblestone streets of Petit Champlain are lined with colorful shops, giving a European vibe. Entry to the old city is free. Visit in the morning for fewer crowds and better photos. Some buildings require tickets for interior visits. Old Montreal: Visit the Notre-Dame Basilica, whose lavish interior is worth seeing. From Mount Royal Park, enjoy panoramic city views. In autumn, it’s a prime spot for maple leaf viewing. Parliament Hill in Ottawa: The Gothic architecture is grand and solemn. There’s a light show at night. The surrounding area has many canals where you can boat in summer and skate in winter. Food recommendations Poutine (fries with gravy and cheese curds): Canada’s national dish, originating in Quebec. Hot gravy poured over fries and cheese curds. Try it at street-side shops in Old Quebec City. It pairs perfectly with beer. Montreal smoked meat sandwich: Schwartz’s is the most famous. Smoked brisket served on rye bread, juicy and flavorful. Fresh lobster: Available in Vancouver or Toronto. Simply boiled and dipped in butter, it’s incredibly fresh and sweet. Maple syrup and ice wine: Look for the “Canada No.1” label on maple syrup. Wineries near Niagara Falls offer ice wine tastings. It’s very sweet and makes a great gift. Nanaimo bars: A three-layer dessert with a coconut base, custard middle, and chocolate top. Goes well with black coffee. Travel tips Visa and internet: Apply for a visa or eTA in advance. Buy a local SIM card or enable international roaming. You’ll need internet for navigation and research. Currency and tipping: Card payments are common. Carry a small amount of cash (CAD). Restaurants usually expect 13%–15% tip. Clothing and gear: Canada has big temperature swings between morning and night, especially in the Rockies. Bring a light jacket or shell even in summer. Sunscreen and a sun hat are essential on sunny days due to strong UV rays. Hiking shoes are important as there’s a lot of walking in scenic areas. Transportation and driving: Self-driving is highly recommended in Western Canada. In Eastern Canada, VIA trains or buses are convenient between cities. Download offline maps in advance, as some areas in Banff have no signal. Use mobile apps or PRESTO cards for city buses and subways. Museums and closing times: Many art galleries and museums close on Mondays, such as the Royal Ontario Museum. Check official websites and book tickets in advance. Tripods and flash photography are not allowed at the CN Tower, and the observation deck stops admitting visitors at 9 PM. Respect wildlife: Keep your distance from bears, deer, and other animals in Banff or Jasper. Enjoy them from your car and do not feed them.

The August wind carries the salty sea mist and the sweet scent of mangoes, glass skyscrapers flicker in the tropical downpour, and the entire city feels like a newly opened nautical music box, flowing with the polyphony of colonial history and modern trade in the morning light. · -- 🌴 Three-Day Travel Guide Transportation: It is recommended to buy a metro card (you can ride the century-old canal train), the old town area is suitable for exploring on foot Accommodation: Recommended boutique hotels in Casco Viejo, with terraces offering views of the Pacific sunset and church bell tower silhouettes 🌟 Day One: Time and Space Folded · Panama Canal Morning Mist Watch massive ships pass through the Miraflores Locks at 7 a.m., the sound of steel cables rubbing accompanied by Spanish commentary. When the gates open, the waters of two oceans embrace here. Locals say, "This is the most romantic seam on Earth." · Old Town Maze Walk Get lost among colorful colonial buildings, the altar of the Golden Church covered with mother-of-pearl inlaid stars. Around the corner, meet artisans making jewelry from discarded ship wood, who say every grain records the voyage story of a ship. · Seafood Market Twilight Fresh sea urchin opened at the Caisanero Market, paired with lime juice and volcanic chili sauce. Fishmongers often give you two extra oysters, pointing to old photos on the wall of a young Che Guevara working here. 🏙️ Day Two: Rainforest and Neon · Biodiversity Museum Under the colorful steel giant sail designed by Frank Gehry, see the giant Victoria water lily supporting the entire Central American ecological map. The curator will let you touch corals from both oceans and explain how they meet here. · Rainforest Canopy Walkway A twenty-minute taxi ride to Metropolitan Park, where toucans and sloths stroll overhead among the treetops. The guide suddenly whispers, "Listen, this is the monkey symphony Columbus heard five hundred years ago." · Coastal Avenue Nocturne Along Cinta Costera, watch container ship lights merge into a galaxy, street performers play the marimba with the "Song of Panama." Buy a cocktail mixed with local sugarcane rum, feeling as if you are in a futuristic nautical era. 🎨 Day Three: Hidden Treasures · Taboga Island Exploration Take a boat to a secret island in the Pearl Islands, where wild parrots peck mangoes among the ruins of a Spanish colonial fortress. The island keeper will show you pirate marks carved on the cliffs—Captain Morgan once buried treasure here. · Handmade Workshop Experience Learn fabric dyeing at the "Mola House" in San Felipe, using indigo and annatto to dye the red and blue of the Panama flag. The eighty-year-old shop owner grandmother says, "Our tradition is older than the canal." · Local Kitchen Secrets Follow a chef to the market to learn about cassava, taro, and twenty kinds of bananas. In an open kitchen, bake corn tortillas on volcanic stone, paired with Colon lemon-marinated fish, the sourness as lively as the Panamanian spirit. · -- 🌉 Special Experiences · Canal Lock Cycling: Ride a bike along Amador Causeway, watching cargo ships slowly rise and fall beside you · Old Town Moonlight Cinema: Watch outdoor movies every Friday at Bolivar Plaza, with coconut shadows and colonial buildings forming a natural screen · Traditional Costume Making: Try on the flower-embroidered Panama pollera dress at the Pollera Museum, where artisans say each piece takes a year to complete · -- "Panama City taught me: true connection is not conquering geography, but like the canal—allowing different civilizations to create new rhythms through collision."

Feel the thrill of Niagara Falls! 🌊 Standing close to the edge, watching the sheer power as water cascades down, is unforgettable. Take a walk along the observation deck or opt for a boat tour to experience the falls up close (expect to get drenched!). The falls are equally stunning at night when they’re beautifully illuminated. A spectacular sight you can’t miss! 💦✨ #voyagevibes #niagarafalls #ontario #canada

Lake Louise in Banff National Park, Canada, is a picturesque turquoise-emerald freshwater lake surrounded by a breathtaking backdrop of snow-capped mountains and glaciers. With a 10/10 rating for being absolutely worth the trip, it is perfect for canoeing and world-class nature hiking. Must-Do Activities Emerald-blue water: Created by fine rock dust (glacial flour) from glaciers reflecting the sunlight. Canoeing: The highlight activity on the lake, where you can experience tranquility and panoramic views (costs around 95-105 CAD per hour). Hiking: Popular trails like The Beehive or paths leading to high vantage points offer full, spectacular views of the lake. Hiking takes about 2-5 hours. Best Time to Visit: Summer (June - August): The ice melts to reveal clear, vibrant blue water. The great weather makes it ideal for hiking and boating (expect the biggest crowds during this time).

🏨 Overview If you're like me, you might find the "heritage hotels" within the old city of Khiva to sound romantic but not necessarily comfortable. Rooms converted from old madrassas are often cramped, with outdated facilities, and issues with air conditioning, water pressure, and soundproofing. I later realized that Khiva is actually very small, and it only takes about a 10-minute drive from outside the city to the edge of the old town. So, following the principle of "stay new rather than old," I turned my attention to the newly developed Arda Khiva area. This is a themed tourist area built in recent years, featuring large water entertainment facilities, an opera house, gondolas on canals, and several new hotels. The streets are clean, with a mix of "old city charm and modern leisure," reminiscent of a blend between Morocco and Venice. However, it’s currently not very popular, with hardly any tourists around, making it surprisingly quiet and ideal for travelers who want to take photos, relax, and avoid crowds. There are a few hotels here, such as the more expensive Farovon Khiva, but I opted for the more cost-effective Karvon Saroy. 🛏 In Room The public areas and rooms of the hotel are rich in local character, and each room comes with a balcony. With very few guests—probably only three or four rooms occupied—the hotel atmosphere was very quiet. 🍽 Dining Breakfast is still served buffet-style and hasn’t been downgraded despite the low number of guests. There’s a decent selection of bread, nuts, dried fruits, and fresh fruits. While not particularly exciting, it’s enough to fill you up. 🧘🏻♂️ Facilities Don’t expect a gym or pool, but being located within the tourist area, there’s plenty to explore nearby. Hotel management is a bit lax. For instance, the receptionist accidentally added an extra "0" to my bill, turning a room charge of over 400 into over 4000! Since the system couldn’t reverse the transaction, they refunded me in cash (USD), and with the credit card cashback, I ended up unexpectedly gaining over 80 bucks. Aside from this, the overall experience was relaxed and comfortable, with stable Wi-Fi and ample hot water. 🔖 Conclusion If you don’t insist on staying within the old city, consider looking further afield. Staying in a new area like Arda Khiva offers a more spacious and quieter travel experience, giving you a different perspective of Khiva. @trip.com_hk Download the Trip.com app → Search "FamilyTravel" on the homepage → Discover new family travel recommendations and exclusive offers!

Standing in the heart of Ottawa, the Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica is one of Canada's most breathtaking architectural treasures. Step inside, and you're greeted by soaring vaulted ceilings, shimmering blue interiors, intricate wood carvings, and dazzling stained-glass windows that fill the cathedral with a warm, ethereal glow. Built in the 19th century, it is the oldest and largest church in Ottawa, renowned for its striking twin silver spires and richly decorated Gothic Revival interior. Every detail—from the hand-carved altars to the golden sanctuary—reflects extraordinary craftsmanship and timeless elegance. Whether you're drawn by history, architecture, or simply a moment of quiet reflection, this remarkable cathedral offers an unforgettable experience. 📍 Location: Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada ⛪ Highlight: Ottawa's oldest and largest church, celebrated for its magnificent Gothic Revival architecture ✨ Feature: Twin silver spires, vibrant stained-glass windows, ornate wood carvings, soaring vaulted ceilings, and peaceful interiors 🍃 Atmosphere: Serene, majestic, and deeply inspiring 📸 Best for: Architecture lovers, cultural exploration, photography, and quiet contemplation 💡 Travel Tip: Visit in the morning or late afternoon, when natural light streams through the stained glass and beautifully illuminates the cathedral's intricate interior. Some places impress with their grandeur. This cathedral leaves a lasting impression through its quiet beauty. ⛪✨

If there is a kind of scenery that can make you forget the cold and lose track of time, it must be the northern lights. The northern lights, also known as the aurora, are a natural phenomenon formed when charged particles released by the sun collide with oxygen and nitrogen in the Earth's upper atmosphere. Green is the most common color, while red, purple, pink, and blue are relatively rare. When solar activity intensifies, the aurora becomes brighter and more spectacular, sometimes covering the entire sky. The best places to see the northern lights in Canada include Yellowknife, Whitehorse, and Jasper National Park. To increase your chances of seeing the northern lights, it is recommended to visit between late August and early April, with November to March being the prime viewing season. The aurora is most active from 10 PM to 2 AM. Staying away from city lights and choosing clear, cloudless nights makes it easier to experience this cosmic romance. For photography enthusiasts, the northern lights are a visual feast. Snow-covered landscapes, tranquil lakes, forests, cabins, and the vibrant aurora blend together, making every shutter click feel like capturing a dreamlike masterpiece. Some say those who see the northern lights will receive good luck; others say it symbolizes hope, dreams, and a beautiful beginning. Whether the legends are true or not, when you see that flowing sky with your own eyes, you will be deeply moved by its awe. If I could choose only one natural wonder to chase in my lifetime, I would definitely choose the northern lights in Canada. 🌌 Are you willing to embark on a journey to chase the light for this dreamlike sky? Follow me to explore Canada’s most beautiful scenery and discover more travel destinations worth visiting in a lifetime! 🇨🇦

Most travelers visiting Vancouver stick to Stanley Park, the Capilano Suspension Bridge, and the Canada Place waterfront. But if you venture just a little off the beaten path, the city reveals a completely different side of itself. Abandoned towers, secret beaches, historic gardens, forest trails, and scenic viewpoints known mostly to locals. Here are the places that were true discoveries for me. 🌊 1. Wreck Beach Vancouver's most unique beach is tucked away at the base of towering cliffs near the UBC campus. You can only get down here via a long wooden staircase with almost 500 steps. Even if you don't plan on staying long, the ocean views alone are worth the trek down. 🌿 2. Nitobe Memorial Garden One of the most beautiful Japanese gardens outside of Japan. You won't find noisy tourist groups here—just bridges, stone lanterns, koi carp, and absolute tranquility. 🌲 3. Pacific Spirit Regional Park A massive rainforest right on the edge of the city. Tens of kilometers of trails weave through giant cedars and Douglas firs, and just a few minutes into your walk, it's hard to believe downtown Vancouver is so close. 🪨 4. Whytecliff Park A small oceanfront park famous for its islet, which you can walk to at low tide. It's one of the best spots to observe starfish, sea anemones, and other tide pool creatures. 🌅 5. Queen Elizabeth Park Quarry Garden Most people come here for the observation deck, but the park's real secret is the former quarry transformed into a multi-level garden with waterfalls, bridges, and exotic plants. 🌊 6. Lighthouse Park An ancient coastal forest with trees over 400 years old leads to granite cliffs offering breathtaking views of the strait and the Point Atkinson Lighthouse. 🚶 7. Trout Lake A peaceful lake in the eastern part of the city where locals love to hang out. It's a great place to have a picnic, feed the ducks, or watch the sunset away from the tourist crowds. 🌸 8. Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden The first classical Chinese garden built outside of China by master artisans from Suzhou. Many people walk right past it, completely unaware that a true slice of traditional China is hidden behind its modest walls. 🚢 9. Shipyards District (North Vancouver) Most tourists don't cross the inlet, but just a few minutes on the SeaBus lands you in an atmospheric neighborhood with stunning views of the Vancouver skyline, markets, cafes, and a scenic boardwalk. 🏞️ 10. Cleveland Dam This high dam set against the North Shore mountains looks especially impressive after it rains, when the water roars down the spillway. Beautiful walking trails start right nearby. 🌲 11. Quarry Rock A short hike of about an hour leads to one of the most stunning panoramic viewpoints in the region. It offers a sweeping view of Indian Arm, surrounded by dense evergreen forests. 🐦 12. Reifel Bird Sanctuary Located about an hour's drive from downtown, this is a true paradise for bird watchers. Depending on the season, you can spot hundreds of species of migratory birds, cranes, owls, and even bald eagles. 🌉 13. Lynn Canyon Ecology Centre Most people head to the paid Capilano bridge, but at Lynn Canyon, you can cross a suspension bridge for free, check out waterfalls, and learn more about the ecology of British Columbia's famous rainforests. 🌊 14. Iona Beach Regional Park A rare spot featuring a long jetty that stretches almost four kilometers right out into the ocean. Walking along it feels like you're walking on water, surrounded by nothing but the sea, mountains, and airplanes coming in for a landing. 🌄 15. Cypress Lookout Most people come here in the winter to ski, but in the summer, this viewpoint becomes one of the best places to see all of Vancouver, the inlet, the islands, and the mountain peaks in one sweeping glance. 💡 My top tip Don't try to see Vancouver just by ticking off a list of its most popular attractions. The most memorable experiences are often waiting exactly where tourist groups rarely venture.

If you're visiting the small town of Canmore in Alberta, you absolutely can't miss the highly popular The Grizzly Paw Brewing Company on Main Street! Located at 622 Main St, this brewery and restaurant not only offers a fantastic dining atmosphere but also features massive windows. You can enjoy your meal while taking in the majestic mountain views—it's the perfect spot for photos! 🍻 Loved by both locals and tourists, this place often hosts live music and holiday-themed events. Sitting on the patio truly makes you feel like you're in the heart of a Canadian mountain town!

Their craft beer is a local staple, and getting a Flight Set (a sampler of mini beers) with friends is a must. On weekends, you'll see plenty of people chatting and chilling all afternoon. Even if you don't drink, you can enjoy their signature sodas and handmade desserts. I personally tried the Grizzly Burger—the cheese and gravy were perfectly rich. Paired with their house-made fries and a glass of their signature beer, the whole experience was just top-notch! Quick Tips: 1. It gets a bit chilly in the mountains at dusk, so remember to bring a light jacket if you're sitting on the patio! 2. It gets pretty crowded during peak dining hours. If you want to avoid a long wait, try to arrive early or call ahead to book a table. 3. They have a souvenir shop where you can grab bottled versions of their beer and soda to go. They make great gifts or treats for yourself. Enjoy!

In wintertime Beijing, if you want to take your children away from the city's hustle and bustle, Yanbai Mountain Villa is definitely a hidden gem! As a new member of SLH (Small Luxury Hotels of the World) in Beijing, it is located by Yanqi Lake. With every step, the scenery changes, as if you are inside a painting, allowing families to experience the perfect blend of nature and luxury during winter. 🥂 Hotel Design Aesthetics Designed by Pritzker Prize winner Master Wang Shu, the architecture is inspired by Song Dynasty artist Wang Ximeng’s "A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains," and the landscape layout references Song Dynasty Liu Songnian’s "Four Views of Mountains and Water," grand in scale, simple and elegant. In winter, the snow-covered gardens and antique-style buildings complement each other beautifully, like a three-dimensional Song Dynasty landscape painting. Children can experience the charm of Chinese aesthetics, playing while cultivating their sense of beauty. The hotel backs onto the southern foothills of the Yanshan Mountains, with a 27,000-square-meter garden housing over 50,000 Yanshan pines and cypress trees. In winter, the pine branches remain verdant, dotted with snow, creating stunning scenery. The 32 rooms and suites are scattered among the courtyard and forest views, each offering a different winter landscape, allowing children to embrace nature right from their windows. ☕ Family-Friendly Experiences The hotel offers 24-hour attentive, customized "Stylish Butler" service. The butler thoughtfully arranges itineraries and prepares children’s supplies (such as kids’ toiletries, small slippers, picture books) according to family needs, making traveling with kids worry-free. Unmissable family experiences: ✨ Enjoy panoramic views of Yanqi Lake and the southern shore of Yanqi Island from the viewing platform. In winter, the lake surface freezes, and the distant mountains are snow-capped, creating spectacular scenery for children to feel the vastness of nature. ✨ At the lobby bar, tea pavilion, or whiskey bar, order a hot drink (kids can have warm milk or juice), warm up while admiring the beautiful views outside, making for a cozy and pleasant family gathering. ✨ The hotel offers various dining options to satisfy children’s tastes, including classic French cuisine, traditional Chaoshan dishes, and even VIP state banquet-level dining. Fresh ingredients and exquisite cooking, plus children’s exclusive meals (such as tomato meat sauce pasta and vegetable porridge), ensure kids eat happily. ✨ Stroll through the garden landscape, peaceful and serene in winter. Introduce children to pine and cypress trees, breathe fresh air, and exercise; you can also enjoy the outdoor hot spring pool to dispel winter chill, with gentle children’s hot spring services available. ✨ Walk along the rooftop walkway, overlooking the entire villa’s beautiful scenery. The winter sun is gentle, letting children feel the breeze on their faces and enjoy quality family time. ✨ Interact and play with children in the art gallery or banquet hall amid mountain and water light effects and soft music, experiencing an artistic atmosphere and nurturing children’s artistic sensibilities. 🎪 Nearby Family Attractions The hotel offers customized activity services. Popular family attractions around Yanqi Lake include Hongluo Temple, Mutianyu Great Wall, Baiquan Mountain, Qinglong Gorge, Huanghuacheng Water Great Wall, and Beijing Huairou International Ski Resort: · Hongluo Temple: The ancient temple’s snowy winter scenery is stunning. Take children to pray, admire plum blossoms, and experience Buddhist culture. · Mutianyu Great Wall: Climb the Great Wall in winter, admire the snow-covered walls, feel the weight of history, and take the cable car to reduce physical exertion. · Beijing Huairou International Ski Resort: Let children experience the fun of skiing, with a children’s ski area and professional instructors, ensuring kids safely enjoy winter sports. 🏷️ Winter Family Tips Winter temperatures in Beijing are low. When traveling with children, bring thick coats, hats, scarves, gloves, and snow boots to avoid catching cold. The hotel rooms have sufficient heating, so lightweight indoor clothing can be prepared. Nearby attractions are some distance from the hotel, so self-driving or having the butler arrange transportation is recommended for easier travel with kids.

Many people visiting eastern Canada for the first time will definitely stop in Quebec. ‼️ Unfortunately, most tours on the market only let you “visit” here, not “stay” here. 📸 Those who just “visit” usually take a photo of Château Frontenac, stroll along Petit Champlain Street and Place Royale, then rush off to another city. This has become the standard pace for most tours. ✖️ So, those who only “visit” leave with beautiful photos but miss many of Quebec’s most captivating places and moments. 💥 Don’t be tricked by low-cost tours! This is the only walled city in North America that’s a UNESCO World Heritage site. Its true charm isn’t just in the daytime. 🌌 When night falls, the tour groups leave, the old town lights up warmly, the cobblestone streets return to quiet, the aroma from corner cafés drifts through the air, and history and life begin to intertwine again. That’s when you realize Quebec isn’t just a sightseeing spot—it’s a living, breathing city. 🔥 This year marks the 10th anniversary of “Goblin.” While countless people flock to Petit Champlain Street searching for that “magic door,” we want to offer you a truly immersive experience of living in this World Heritage site. ⚠️ Many eastern Canada tours pass through Quebec. To cut costs, many itineraries leave the old town for the next city right after afternoon sightseeing, treating Quebec as just a stopover. We see it differently—we consider it one of the most important experiences of the entire trip. 💥 You can stay at a hotel near Quebec’s old town, or upgrade to the iconic Fairmont Le Château Frontenac, turning your trip from “walking into the old town” to “living in the old town.” ⁉️ Why we insist: staying in the old town is the only right way to experience it 💢 Most tours, to save costs, book accommodations in other cities, making you say goodbye to the old town’s lights at dusk in a rush. Staying in the old town means opening your window to centuries of history. ❶ Exclusive dawn and dusk: only by staying in the old town can you stroll the empty cobblestone streets at sunrise when the first light hits Château Frontenac’s copper roof; and only at night, after the tourists leave, can you enjoy the quiet and romance of Petit Champlain Street. These are moments “passersby” will never experience. ❷ Deep downtime: staying in the old town isn’t just about checking off landmarks. It lets you explore the city at your own pace: the military history of the star-shaped fortress, the religious theology of Notre-Dame Basilica, the French romance of street murals, and the same filming spots from “Goblin” (the big lawn, Christmas shop, red door…). The best travel is not rushing but having the freedom to choose your time. ❸ High standards: choosing to stay in the old town reflects our commitment to travel quality and the meaning of “depth.” It’s not just a choice of accommodation—it’s an attitude. We want you to be part of Quebec’s story, not just a spectator. 🍁 Of course, Quebec will be a highlight of your trip, but to truly understand eastern Canada, don’t miss these places! In Montreal, experience the unique blend of French culture and a modern North American city; in Ottawa, visit Canada’s capital to learn about the country’s history and culture; head to the four-season resort Mont Tremblant to enjoy the lakes and mountains beloved by Canadians; explore Crystal Falls for the natural thrill of forest waterfalls; then visit the Gulf of St. Lawrence to take a boat tour and witness whales breaching the water... 📢 When you come to Quebec, don’t be a hurried visitor. Join our in-depth itinerary and live the story of the old town. Let the essence of eastern Canada stay not just in your camera but deep in your memory. 🔖 Quick info: Tianbao group codes for staying in Quebec old town: Letter D (stay at a hotel near the old town) Letter V (stay at Fairmont Le Château Frontenac) Click the 🔗 [product recommendations] below to purchase the same package~ For itinerary and details, please contact the merchant via [free consultation] at the bottom left~

Listen up, ladies! There’s a city in North America sealed by 400 years of time—a French dreamland💭 The entire city is enclosed by walls. Cobbled streets wind between the cliffside upper town and the valley lower town. Walking in during midsummer in July feels like stepping right into a scene from an old European film. Today, I’m giving you the full rundown on summer activities in this ancient city—the only one in North America with fully intact city walls👇 🚗 Getting there It takes about 3.5 hours by train from Montreal. Buying a non-refundable ticket in advance on the official website can save you nearly half the price. A round trip costs around 700–800 RMB. The train has Wi-Fi and nice scenery along the way, perfect for catching up on sleep or editing photos. The train station is right next to the old town. It’s a 15-minute walk to the core area. But beware! The old town is full of slopes and cobblestone streets. Dragging a suitcase uphill will make you want to cry. It’s best to take a taxi straight to your accommodation to drop off your luggage before heading out. Public transit within the city is enough to get around. Buy a day pass for unlimited rides; coverage is extensive. If you want to visit waterfalls or islands outside the city, renting a car offers more freedom. Major rental car brands have counters at the airport. 🏛️ Upper town: stand on the cliff and watch the great river flow The upper town is the heart of the old city, with all the main landmarks within walking distance. ⭐ Dufferin Terrace This cliffside boardwalk extends along the edge, with the St. Lawrence River beneath your feet. The river is so wide it looks like the sea. Come around 6 or 7 PM in summer. The sunlight turns the water into shattered gold, the mountain outlines on the opposite shore are clear, and the breeze carries mist that opens up every pore on your skin. ⭐ Star-shaped fortress At the end of the terrace, this is one of the best-preserved military forts in North America. In summer, there’s a scheduled changing of the guard ceremony every day. Soldiers in red uniforms march in formation, and the drumbeats echo between the walls. The scene feels like a time travel experience. Tickets cost about 12 CAD. It’s best to visit in the morning when the light is good for photos and it’s cooler. ⭐ Walk the city walls The only city walls in North America you can walk all the way around! The full loop is about 4.6 km and takes 1.5–2 hours to complete. Along the way, you’ll see the old town’s red copper spires, sailboats on the distant river, and flower-filled balconies at the base of the walls. In July, the wind on the walls is strong and cool, much more comfortable than the streets below. 🎨 Lower town: 400 years of lively French alleys There are two ways to get from upper town to lower town: take the funicular (about 5 CAD one way, just a few seconds, perfect for lazy travelers) or walk the famous “Breakneck Stairs” (free but really steep, don’t push it if your knees aren’t good). ⭐ Petit Champlain Street Known as the oldest commercial street in North America, it’s so narrow two people walking side by side have to turn sideways. Both sides are lined with old stone buildings, with geraniums and lavender on the windowsills. Summer sunlight slants through the gaps between buildings, casting stripes of light and shadow on the cobblestones. The street hides various handmade leather shops, independent galleries, and local artisan workshops. These aren’t the usual mass-produced souvenirs but truly heartfelt handmade items. There’s a small woodcarving shop where the owner carves on site. The flying wood shavings make for a very soothing scene. ⭐ Place Royale The core square of the lower town. Four hundred years ago, French explorers drove the first wooden stake here to found the city. Now, a huge mural wall stands in the center, using trompe-l'œil to layer building facades from different eras, making photos full of stories. In summer, street performers often entertain in the square—accordion players, saxophonists, portrait artists. Sitting on a bench by the square can easily fill an entire afternoon. 🌊 Suburban secret: a waterfall taller than Niagara A 15-minute drive east of the city is a giant waterfall with an 83-meter drop—30 meters taller than Niagara Falls! In summer, the water flow is abundant, and mist rises from the base like a white veil. The best part is you can take a cable car slowly from the top of the falls down to the valley floor or walk across a suspension bridge over the falls. The roaring water beneath pumps your adrenaline. The suspension bridge is free to cross. The cable car costs about 15 CAD round trip. At dusk, the waterfall is lit up. The water curtain glows with colorful lights, looking like a huge flowing gem. 🏝️ Île d’Orléans: bike through a pastoral poem North of the old town is a long, narrow river island. It’s a 20-minute drive across a bridge from the old town. The island feels nothing like a city. It’s all orchards, farms, vineyards, and century-old stone churches. The best summer activity is renting a bike to circle the island, about 60 km total. You can split it into two leisurely rides. Along the way, you’ll pass vast sunflower fields, strawberry picking farms, and riverside meadows where locals picnic on weekends. Several ferry docks on the island offer boat rides back to the old town. Combining biking and ferry rides makes for a fun route. There’s a cheese workshop on the island passed down through generations. You can tour the production process and taste fresh cheese on site. The flavor of freshly made cheese is nothing like supermarket products. 🌙 Where to stay It’s recommended to stay in the upper old town area, where you can walk to all the main attractions. Choose a room with a river view balcony. Open the window to see sailboats slowly moving on the St. Lawrence River and mountain silhouettes in the distance. In summer, sunsets last until 8 or 9 PM. Nestled on the balcony watching the sky change from orange to deep blue brings a peace you can’t get staying in the suburbs. If your budget allows, the lower town near the river is also charming. Fall asleep to the sound of the river and wake up to church bells. The 400-year-old spirit here has never faded. 📋 Quick practical info · Summer average temperature 22–26°C. Big temperature difference between day and night. Bring a light jacket · The old town is entirely French-speaking. English is also understood, but learning a few French phrases will earn you extra points · July hosts a large summer music festival lasting nearly two weeks, with live performances all over the streets · The Canadian dollar is currently about 5.2 RMB. Card payments are widely accepted · The time difference is 12 hours behind Beijing. It’s recommended to allow a day to adjust This city is the kind of place you don’t want to leave once you step inside. Four hundred years ago, the French built a city by this river. Four hundred years later, it remains the most European dreamlike place on the North American continent✨

#hotelreview My stay at Andaz Ottawa ByWard Market was a decent experience, offering a perfect blend of luxury and local charm right in the heart of Canada’s capital. Nestled in the vibrant ByWard Market district, this stylish hotel provided an ideal base for exploring the rich history and lively culture of Ottawa. However there are some areas that the hotel can improve. My check in only happened at 5:30pm due to the mismanagement of the housekeeping schedule. And the staffs didnt really do anything to compensate for tis inconvenience. Second, the hotel's amenities is really weak and boring, featuring only a small gym with few equipments. But other than that, this is a great hotel choice for those visiting Ottawa. My rating: 8/10 #andaz #ottawaexplore

Moraine Lake in Banff National Park, Canada, is world-renowned for its stunning turquoise glacial waters surrounded by the Valley of the Ten Peaks. The highlights are the million-dollar views and canoeing. However, personal vehicles are no longer allowed to drive in and park; visitors must use a shuttle service or stay at the Moraine Lake Lodge. I consider this the most beautiful lake I've ever visited—it's easily my number one. Highlights and impressions: The crystal-clear, emerald or turquoise water gets its striking color from rock flour. There's a short hike up the Rockpile Trail for that iconic, postcard-perfect panoramic view. Canoeing is a highly popular activity, offering an incredibly romantic vibe. Private vehicles are prohibited from entering (except for Moraine Lake Lodge guests or those with a disabled parking permit). You must book a Parks Canada Shuttle ticket in advance or use a private shuttle service. The lake is only accessible during the snow-free season (typically from late May to mid-October each year).

Drive from Toronto to Kingston's Thousand Islands, where in July the lake water is clear and blue, with over a thousand glacial islands scattered across the surface.

Board the boat on time; some islands are private property and landing is prohibited. Do not dock without permission. 4. The lake's reflection is dazzling; sunglasses are recommended, and try to avoid taking photos in the harsh midday light. 5. The drive from Toronto is long, so fill up your gas tank in advance and allow plenty of time for the round trip.

#canadatrip Cons: Overpriced and overrated. Parking is expensive, and food options inside are mostly unhealthy and way too costly for what you get. The overall experience doesn’t match the high ticket and food prices. Definitely not worth it for what’s offered; 1 out of 5. Pros: I visited Canada’s Wonderland this past summer and spent a full day enjoying both the rides and the water park. It was a hot day, so I started with Splash Works; the water area was lively but not overwhelming. There are several pools and slides for every age, and it’s a great place to cool off. The wave pool was a highlight, and there were plenty of shaded spots and chairs to relax between rides. After the water park, I explored the rest of the park and went on a few of the main roller coasters. The sight of the massive tracks and loops from a distance still makes the park feel impressive every time you visit. The atmosphere is energetic but family-friendly; with lots of music, food stands, and people having fun. I ended the day near the main fountain and mountain area, which looks especially beautiful in the sunlight. The water and landscaping give it a resort feel, and it’s a perfect spot to take photos before leaving. Overall, it was a great summer day; well organized, clean, and full of energy. If you plan ahead and arrive early, you can easily make the most of both the water park and the rides.

Just returned from Canada, and the aftereffects are strong. That land has a magic that pulls you out of everyday trivialities—the snowy peaks of the Rockies, the cobblestone streets of Quebec, the Pacific breeze… my phone storage kept filling up again and again. If you’re planning a trip, this straightforward guide should help you avoid some detours. Trip highlights and planning Canada is huge, so it’s unrealistic to see it all at once. It’s best to pick one side first. Western Canada features stunning natural wonders and offers a “visual overload” experience. Eastern Canada is full of French charm, perfect for leisurely wandering. Western Canada (Banff + Vancouver) must-see spots: Banff National Park: Emerald waters of Lake Louise surrounded by mountains, and the even more stunning blue-green Moraine Lake—be sure to go boating. It’s best to drive from Calgary, about 1.5 hours away. During peak season, book your park entry 7 days in advance. Before 10 AM is the best time to avoid crowds. Columbia Icefield: Experience the giant ice explorer vehicle driving onto the Athabasca Glacier in Jasper National Park. It’s a one-of-a-kind feeling. Stanley Park in Vancouver: One of the largest urban parks in North America. Ride along the 8.8 km seawall trail with forest on one side and ocean on the other—extremely relaxing. The park is free. In autumn, the red maples combined with the sea view capture the soul of Vancouver. Capilano Suspension Bridge Park: Walk among the rainforest treetops. Great for adventure lovers and photographers. Free shuttle service is available from downtown. Eastern Canada (Toronto + Quebec) must-see spots: Niagara Falls: It’s recommended to buy a package that includes the Maid of the Mist boat tour to experience the roaring water up close. Remember to wear a raincoat. It’s a 1.5-hour drive from Toronto. Old Quebec City: Filming location for the Korean drama “Goblin” and the only place in North America with preserved city walls. The Fairmont Le Château Frontenac is a landmark. The cobblestone streets of Petit Champlain are lined with colorful shops, giving a European vibe. Entry to the old city is free. Visit in the morning for fewer crowds and better photos. Some buildings require tickets for interior visits. Old Montreal: Visit the Notre-Dame Basilica, whose lavish interior is worth seeing. From Mount Royal Park, enjoy panoramic city views. In autumn, it’s a prime spot for maple leaf viewing. Parliament Hill in Ottawa: The Gothic architecture is grand and solemn. There’s a light show at night. The surrounding area has many canals where you can boat in summer and skate in winter. Food recommendations Poutine (fries with gravy and cheese curds): Canada’s national dish, originating in Quebec. Hot gravy poured over fries and cheese curds. Try it at street-side shops in Old Quebec City. It pairs perfectly with beer. Montreal smoked meat sandwich: Schwartz’s is the most famous. Smoked brisket served on rye bread, juicy and flavorful. Fresh lobster: Available in Vancouver or Toronto. Simply boiled and dipped in butter, it’s incredibly fresh and sweet. Maple syrup and ice wine: Look for the “Canada No.1” label on maple syrup. Wineries near Niagara Falls offer ice wine tastings. It’s very sweet and makes a great gift. Nanaimo bars: A three-layer dessert with a coconut base, custard middle, and chocolate top. Goes well with black coffee. Travel tips Visa and internet: Apply for a visa or eTA in advance. Buy a local SIM card or enable international roaming. You’ll need internet for navigation and research. Currency and tipping: Card payments are common. Carry a small amount of cash (CAD). Restaurants usually expect 13%–15% tip. Clothing and gear: Canada has big temperature swings between morning and night, especially in the Rockies. Bring a light jacket or shell even in summer. Sunscreen and a sun hat are essential on sunny days due to strong UV rays. Hiking shoes are important as there’s a lot of walking in scenic areas. Transportation and driving: Self-driving is highly recommended in Western Canada. In Eastern Canada, VIA trains or buses are convenient between cities. Download offline maps in advance, as some areas in Banff have no signal. Use mobile apps or PRESTO cards for city buses and subways. Museums and closing times: Many art galleries and museums close on Mondays, such as the Royal Ontario Museum. Check official websites and book tickets in advance. Tripods and flash photography are not allowed at the CN Tower, and the observation deck stops admitting visitors at 9 PM. Respect wildlife: Keep your distance from bears, deer, and other animals in Banff or Jasper. Enjoy them from your car and do not feed them.

The August wind carries the salty sea mist and the sweet scent of mangoes, glass skyscrapers flicker in the tropical downpour, and the entire city feels like a newly opened nautical music box, flowing with the polyphony of colonial history and modern trade in the morning light. · -- 🌴 Three-Day Travel Guide Transportation: It is recommended to buy a metro card (you can ride the century-old canal train), the old town area is suitable for exploring on foot Accommodation: Recommended boutique hotels in Casco Viejo, with terraces offering views of the Pacific sunset and church bell tower silhouettes 🌟 Day One: Time and Space Folded · Panama Canal Morning Mist Watch massive ships pass through the Miraflores Locks at 7 a.m., the sound of steel cables rubbing accompanied by Spanish commentary. When the gates open, the waters of two oceans embrace here. Locals say, "This is the most romantic seam on Earth." · Old Town Maze Walk Get lost among colorful colonial buildings, the altar of the Golden Church covered with mother-of-pearl inlaid stars. Around the corner, meet artisans making jewelry from discarded ship wood, who say every grain records the voyage story of a ship. · Seafood Market Twilight Fresh sea urchin opened at the Caisanero Market, paired with lime juice and volcanic chili sauce. Fishmongers often give you two extra oysters, pointing to old photos on the wall of a young Che Guevara working here. 🏙️ Day Two: Rainforest and Neon · Biodiversity Museum Under the colorful steel giant sail designed by Frank Gehry, see the giant Victoria water lily supporting the entire Central American ecological map. The curator will let you touch corals from both oceans and explain how they meet here. · Rainforest Canopy Walkway A twenty-minute taxi ride to Metropolitan Park, where toucans and sloths stroll overhead among the treetops. The guide suddenly whispers, "Listen, this is the monkey symphony Columbus heard five hundred years ago." · Coastal Avenue Nocturne Along Cinta Costera, watch container ship lights merge into a galaxy, street performers play the marimba with the "Song of Panama." Buy a cocktail mixed with local sugarcane rum, feeling as if you are in a futuristic nautical era. 🎨 Day Three: Hidden Treasures · Taboga Island Exploration Take a boat to a secret island in the Pearl Islands, where wild parrots peck mangoes among the ruins of a Spanish colonial fortress. The island keeper will show you pirate marks carved on the cliffs—Captain Morgan once buried treasure here. · Handmade Workshop Experience Learn fabric dyeing at the "Mola House" in San Felipe, using indigo and annatto to dye the red and blue of the Panama flag. The eighty-year-old shop owner grandmother says, "Our tradition is older than the canal." · Local Kitchen Secrets Follow a chef to the market to learn about cassava, taro, and twenty kinds of bananas. In an open kitchen, bake corn tortillas on volcanic stone, paired with Colon lemon-marinated fish, the sourness as lively as the Panamanian spirit. · -- 🌉 Special Experiences · Canal Lock Cycling: Ride a bike along Amador Causeway, watching cargo ships slowly rise and fall beside you · Old Town Moonlight Cinema: Watch outdoor movies every Friday at Bolivar Plaza, with coconut shadows and colonial buildings forming a natural screen · Traditional Costume Making: Try on the flower-embroidered Panama pollera dress at the Pollera Museum, where artisans say each piece takes a year to complete · -- "Panama City taught me: true connection is not conquering geography, but like the canal—allowing different civilizations to create new rhythms through collision."

Feel the thrill of Niagara Falls! 🌊 Standing close to the edge, watching the sheer power as water cascades down, is unforgettable. Take a walk along the observation deck or opt for a boat tour to experience the falls up close (expect to get drenched!). The falls are equally stunning at night when they’re beautifully illuminated. A spectacular sight you can’t miss! 💦✨ #voyagevibes #niagarafalls #ontario #canada

Lake Louise in Banff National Park, Canada, is a picturesque turquoise-emerald freshwater lake surrounded by a breathtaking backdrop of snow-capped mountains and glaciers. With a 10/10 rating for being absolutely worth the trip, it is perfect for canoeing and world-class nature hiking. Must-Do Activities Emerald-blue water: Created by fine rock dust (glacial flour) from glaciers reflecting the sunlight. Canoeing: The highlight activity on the lake, where you can experience tranquility and panoramic views (costs around 95-105 CAD per hour). Hiking: Popular trails like The Beehive or paths leading to high vantage points offer full, spectacular views of the lake. Hiking takes about 2-5 hours. Best Time to Visit: Summer (June - August): The ice melts to reveal clear, vibrant blue water. The great weather makes it ideal for hiking and boating (expect the biggest crowds during this time).

🏨 Overview If you're like me, you might find the "heritage hotels" within the old city of Khiva to sound romantic but not necessarily comfortable. Rooms converted from old madrassas are often cramped, with outdated facilities, and issues with air conditioning, water pressure, and soundproofing. I later realized that Khiva is actually very small, and it only takes about a 10-minute drive from outside the city to the edge of the old town. So, following the principle of "stay new rather than old," I turned my attention to the newly developed Arda Khiva area. This is a themed tourist area built in recent years, featuring large water entertainment facilities, an opera house, gondolas on canals, and several new hotels. The streets are clean, with a mix of "old city charm and modern leisure," reminiscent of a blend between Morocco and Venice. However, it’s currently not very popular, with hardly any tourists around, making it surprisingly quiet and ideal for travelers who want to take photos, relax, and avoid crowds. There are a few hotels here, such as the more expensive Farovon Khiva, but I opted for the more cost-effective Karvon Saroy. 🛏 In Room The public areas and rooms of the hotel are rich in local character, and each room comes with a balcony. With very few guests—probably only three or four rooms occupied—the hotel atmosphere was very quiet. 🍽 Dining Breakfast is still served buffet-style and hasn’t been downgraded despite the low number of guests. There’s a decent selection of bread, nuts, dried fruits, and fresh fruits. While not particularly exciting, it’s enough to fill you up. 🧘🏻♂️ Facilities Don’t expect a gym or pool, but being located within the tourist area, there’s plenty to explore nearby. Hotel management is a bit lax. For instance, the receptionist accidentally added an extra "0" to my bill, turning a room charge of over 400 into over 4000! Since the system couldn’t reverse the transaction, they refunded me in cash (USD), and with the credit card cashback, I ended up unexpectedly gaining over 80 bucks. Aside from this, the overall experience was relaxed and comfortable, with stable Wi-Fi and ample hot water. 🔖 Conclusion If you don’t insist on staying within the old city, consider looking further afield. Staying in a new area like Arda Khiva offers a more spacious and quieter travel experience, giving you a different perspective of Khiva. @trip.com_hk Download the Trip.com app → Search "FamilyTravel" on the homepage → Discover new family travel recommendations and exclusive offers!

Standing in the heart of Ottawa, the Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica is one of Canada's most breathtaking architectural treasures. Step inside, and you're greeted by soaring vaulted ceilings, shimmering blue interiors, intricate wood carvings, and dazzling stained-glass windows that fill the cathedral with a warm, ethereal glow. Built in the 19th century, it is the oldest and largest church in Ottawa, renowned for its striking twin silver spires and richly decorated Gothic Revival interior. Every detail—from the hand-carved altars to the golden sanctuary—reflects extraordinary craftsmanship and timeless elegance. Whether you're drawn by history, architecture, or simply a moment of quiet reflection, this remarkable cathedral offers an unforgettable experience. 📍 Location: Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada ⛪ Highlight: Ottawa's oldest and largest church, celebrated for its magnificent Gothic Revival architecture ✨ Feature: Twin silver spires, vibrant stained-glass windows, ornate wood carvings, soaring vaulted ceilings, and peaceful interiors 🍃 Atmosphere: Serene, majestic, and deeply inspiring 📸 Best for: Architecture lovers, cultural exploration, photography, and quiet contemplation 💡 Travel Tip: Visit in the morning or late afternoon, when natural light streams through the stained glass and beautifully illuminates the cathedral's intricate interior. Some places impress with their grandeur. This cathedral leaves a lasting impression through its quiet beauty. ⛪✨

If there is a kind of scenery that can make you forget the cold and lose track of time, it must be the northern lights. The northern lights, also known as the aurora, are a natural phenomenon formed when charged particles released by the sun collide with oxygen and nitrogen in the Earth's upper atmosphere. Green is the most common color, while red, purple, pink, and blue are relatively rare. When solar activity intensifies, the aurora becomes brighter and more spectacular, sometimes covering the entire sky. The best places to see the northern lights in Canada include Yellowknife, Whitehorse, and Jasper National Park. To increase your chances of seeing the northern lights, it is recommended to visit between late August and early April, with November to March being the prime viewing season. The aurora is most active from 10 PM to 2 AM. Staying away from city lights and choosing clear, cloudless nights makes it easier to experience this cosmic romance. For photography enthusiasts, the northern lights are a visual feast. Snow-covered landscapes, tranquil lakes, forests, cabins, and the vibrant aurora blend together, making every shutter click feel like capturing a dreamlike masterpiece. Some say those who see the northern lights will receive good luck; others say it symbolizes hope, dreams, and a beautiful beginning. Whether the legends are true or not, when you see that flowing sky with your own eyes, you will be deeply moved by its awe. If I could choose only one natural wonder to chase in my lifetime, I would definitely choose the northern lights in Canada. 🌌 Are you willing to embark on a journey to chase the light for this dreamlike sky? Follow me to explore Canada’s most beautiful scenery and discover more travel destinations worth visiting in a lifetime! 🇨🇦

Most travelers visiting Vancouver stick to Stanley Park, the Capilano Suspension Bridge, and the Canada Place waterfront. But if you venture just a little off the beaten path, the city reveals a completely different side of itself. Abandoned towers, secret beaches, historic gardens, forest trails, and scenic viewpoints known mostly to locals. Here are the places that were true discoveries for me. 🌊 1. Wreck Beach Vancouver's most unique beach is tucked away at the base of towering cliffs near the UBC campus. You can only get down here via a long wooden staircase with almost 500 steps. Even if you don't plan on staying long, the ocean views alone are worth the trek down. 🌿 2. Nitobe Memorial Garden One of the most beautiful Japanese gardens outside of Japan. You won't find noisy tourist groups here—just bridges, stone lanterns, koi carp, and absolute tranquility. 🌲 3. Pacific Spirit Regional Park A massive rainforest right on the edge of the city. Tens of kilometers of trails weave through giant cedars and Douglas firs, and just a few minutes into your walk, it's hard to believe downtown Vancouver is so close. 🪨 4. Whytecliff Park A small oceanfront park famous for its islet, which you can walk to at low tide. It's one of the best spots to observe starfish, sea anemones, and other tide pool creatures. 🌅 5. Queen Elizabeth Park Quarry Garden Most people come here for the observation deck, but the park's real secret is the former quarry transformed into a multi-level garden with waterfalls, bridges, and exotic plants. 🌊 6. Lighthouse Park An ancient coastal forest with trees over 400 years old leads to granite cliffs offering breathtaking views of the strait and the Point Atkinson Lighthouse. 🚶 7. Trout Lake A peaceful lake in the eastern part of the city where locals love to hang out. It's a great place to have a picnic, feed the ducks, or watch the sunset away from the tourist crowds. 🌸 8. Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden The first classical Chinese garden built outside of China by master artisans from Suzhou. Many people walk right past it, completely unaware that a true slice of traditional China is hidden behind its modest walls. 🚢 9. Shipyards District (North Vancouver) Most tourists don't cross the inlet, but just a few minutes on the SeaBus lands you in an atmospheric neighborhood with stunning views of the Vancouver skyline, markets, cafes, and a scenic boardwalk. 🏞️ 10. Cleveland Dam This high dam set against the North Shore mountains looks especially impressive after it rains, when the water roars down the spillway. Beautiful walking trails start right nearby. 🌲 11. Quarry Rock A short hike of about an hour leads to one of the most stunning panoramic viewpoints in the region. It offers a sweeping view of Indian Arm, surrounded by dense evergreen forests. 🐦 12. Reifel Bird Sanctuary Located about an hour's drive from downtown, this is a true paradise for bird watchers. Depending on the season, you can spot hundreds of species of migratory birds, cranes, owls, and even bald eagles. 🌉 13. Lynn Canyon Ecology Centre Most people head to the paid Capilano bridge, but at Lynn Canyon, you can cross a suspension bridge for free, check out waterfalls, and learn more about the ecology of British Columbia's famous rainforests. 🌊 14. Iona Beach Regional Park A rare spot featuring a long jetty that stretches almost four kilometers right out into the ocean. Walking along it feels like you're walking on water, surrounded by nothing but the sea, mountains, and airplanes coming in for a landing. 🌄 15. Cypress Lookout Most people come here in the winter to ski, but in the summer, this viewpoint becomes one of the best places to see all of Vancouver, the inlet, the islands, and the mountain peaks in one sweeping glance. 💡 My top tip Don't try to see Vancouver just by ticking off a list of its most popular attractions. The most memorable experiences are often waiting exactly where tourist groups rarely venture.

If you're visiting the small town of Canmore in Alberta, you absolutely can't miss the highly popular The Grizzly Paw Brewing Company on Main Street! Located at 622 Main St, this brewery and restaurant not only offers a fantastic dining atmosphere but also features massive windows. You can enjoy your meal while taking in the majestic mountain views—it's the perfect spot for photos! 🍻 Loved by both locals and tourists, this place often hosts live music and holiday-themed events. Sitting on the patio truly makes you feel like you're in the heart of a Canadian mountain town!

Their craft beer is a local staple, and getting a Flight Set (a sampler of mini beers) with friends is a must. On weekends, you'll see plenty of people chatting and chilling all afternoon. Even if you don't drink, you can enjoy their signature sodas and handmade desserts. I personally tried the Grizzly Burger—the cheese and gravy were perfectly rich. Paired with their house-made fries and a glass of their signature beer, the whole experience was just top-notch! Quick Tips: 1. It gets a bit chilly in the mountains at dusk, so remember to bring a light jacket if you're sitting on the patio! 2. It gets pretty crowded during peak dining hours. If you want to avoid a long wait, try to arrive early or call ahead to book a table. 3. They have a souvenir shop where you can grab bottled versions of their beer and soda to go. They make great gifts or treats for yourself. Enjoy!

In wintertime Beijing, if you want to take your children away from the city's hustle and bustle, Yanbai Mountain Villa is definitely a hidden gem! As a new member of SLH (Small Luxury Hotels of the World) in Beijing, it is located by Yanqi Lake. With every step, the scenery changes, as if you are inside a painting, allowing families to experience the perfect blend of nature and luxury during winter. 🥂 Hotel Design Aesthetics Designed by Pritzker Prize winner Master Wang Shu, the architecture is inspired by Song Dynasty artist Wang Ximeng’s "A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains," and the landscape layout references Song Dynasty Liu Songnian’s "Four Views of Mountains and Water," grand in scale, simple and elegant. In winter, the snow-covered gardens and antique-style buildings complement each other beautifully, like a three-dimensional Song Dynasty landscape painting. Children can experience the charm of Chinese aesthetics, playing while cultivating their sense of beauty. The hotel backs onto the southern foothills of the Yanshan Mountains, with a 27,000-square-meter garden housing over 50,000 Yanshan pines and cypress trees. In winter, the pine branches remain verdant, dotted with snow, creating stunning scenery. The 32 rooms and suites are scattered among the courtyard and forest views, each offering a different winter landscape, allowing children to embrace nature right from their windows. ☕ Family-Friendly Experiences The hotel offers 24-hour attentive, customized "Stylish Butler" service. The butler thoughtfully arranges itineraries and prepares children’s supplies (such as kids’ toiletries, small slippers, picture books) according to family needs, making traveling with kids worry-free. Unmissable family experiences: ✨ Enjoy panoramic views of Yanqi Lake and the southern shore of Yanqi Island from the viewing platform. In winter, the lake surface freezes, and the distant mountains are snow-capped, creating spectacular scenery for children to feel the vastness of nature. ✨ At the lobby bar, tea pavilion, or whiskey bar, order a hot drink (kids can have warm milk or juice), warm up while admiring the beautiful views outside, making for a cozy and pleasant family gathering. ✨ The hotel offers various dining options to satisfy children’s tastes, including classic French cuisine, traditional Chaoshan dishes, and even VIP state banquet-level dining. Fresh ingredients and exquisite cooking, plus children’s exclusive meals (such as tomato meat sauce pasta and vegetable porridge), ensure kids eat happily. ✨ Stroll through the garden landscape, peaceful and serene in winter. Introduce children to pine and cypress trees, breathe fresh air, and exercise; you can also enjoy the outdoor hot spring pool to dispel winter chill, with gentle children’s hot spring services available. ✨ Walk along the rooftop walkway, overlooking the entire villa’s beautiful scenery. The winter sun is gentle, letting children feel the breeze on their faces and enjoy quality family time. ✨ Interact and play with children in the art gallery or banquet hall amid mountain and water light effects and soft music, experiencing an artistic atmosphere and nurturing children’s artistic sensibilities. 🎪 Nearby Family Attractions The hotel offers customized activity services. Popular family attractions around Yanqi Lake include Hongluo Temple, Mutianyu Great Wall, Baiquan Mountain, Qinglong Gorge, Huanghuacheng Water Great Wall, and Beijing Huairou International Ski Resort: · Hongluo Temple: The ancient temple’s snowy winter scenery is stunning. Take children to pray, admire plum blossoms, and experience Buddhist culture. · Mutianyu Great Wall: Climb the Great Wall in winter, admire the snow-covered walls, feel the weight of history, and take the cable car to reduce physical exertion. · Beijing Huairou International Ski Resort: Let children experience the fun of skiing, with a children’s ski area and professional instructors, ensuring kids safely enjoy winter sports. 🏷️ Winter Family Tips Winter temperatures in Beijing are low. When traveling with children, bring thick coats, hats, scarves, gloves, and snow boots to avoid catching cold. The hotel rooms have sufficient heating, so lightweight indoor clothing can be prepared. Nearby attractions are some distance from the hotel, so self-driving or having the butler arrange transportation is recommended for easier travel with kids.

Many people visiting eastern Canada for the first time will definitely stop in Quebec. ‼️ Unfortunately, most tours on the market only let you “visit” here, not “stay” here. 📸 Those who just “visit” usually take a photo of Château Frontenac, stroll along Petit Champlain Street and Place Royale, then rush off to another city. This has become the standard pace for most tours. ✖️ So, those who only “visit” leave with beautiful photos but miss many of Quebec’s most captivating places and moments. 💥 Don’t be tricked by low-cost tours! This is the only walled city in North America that’s a UNESCO World Heritage site. Its true charm isn’t just in the daytime. 🌌 When night falls, the tour groups leave, the old town lights up warmly, the cobblestone streets return to quiet, the aroma from corner cafés drifts through the air, and history and life begin to intertwine again. That’s when you realize Quebec isn’t just a sightseeing spot—it’s a living, breathing city. 🔥 This year marks the 10th anniversary of “Goblin.” While countless people flock to Petit Champlain Street searching for that “magic door,” we want to offer you a truly immersive experience of living in this World Heritage site. ⚠️ Many eastern Canada tours pass through Quebec. To cut costs, many itineraries leave the old town for the next city right after afternoon sightseeing, treating Quebec as just a stopover. We see it differently—we consider it one of the most important experiences of the entire trip. 💥 You can stay at a hotel near Quebec’s old town, or upgrade to the iconic Fairmont Le Château Frontenac, turning your trip from “walking into the old town” to “living in the old town.” ⁉️ Why we insist: staying in the old town is the only right way to experience it 💢 Most tours, to save costs, book accommodations in other cities, making you say goodbye to the old town’s lights at dusk in a rush. Staying in the old town means opening your window to centuries of history. ❶ Exclusive dawn and dusk: only by staying in the old town can you stroll the empty cobblestone streets at sunrise when the first light hits Château Frontenac’s copper roof; and only at night, after the tourists leave, can you enjoy the quiet and romance of Petit Champlain Street. These are moments “passersby” will never experience. ❷ Deep downtime: staying in the old town isn’t just about checking off landmarks. It lets you explore the city at your own pace: the military history of the star-shaped fortress, the religious theology of Notre-Dame Basilica, the French romance of street murals, and the same filming spots from “Goblin” (the big lawn, Christmas shop, red door…). The best travel is not rushing but having the freedom to choose your time. ❸ High standards: choosing to stay in the old town reflects our commitment to travel quality and the meaning of “depth.” It’s not just a choice of accommodation—it’s an attitude. We want you to be part of Quebec’s story, not just a spectator. 🍁 Of course, Quebec will be a highlight of your trip, but to truly understand eastern Canada, don’t miss these places! In Montreal, experience the unique blend of French culture and a modern North American city; in Ottawa, visit Canada’s capital to learn about the country’s history and culture; head to the four-season resort Mont Tremblant to enjoy the lakes and mountains beloved by Canadians; explore Crystal Falls for the natural thrill of forest waterfalls; then visit the Gulf of St. Lawrence to take a boat tour and witness whales breaching the water... 📢 When you come to Quebec, don’t be a hurried visitor. Join our in-depth itinerary and live the story of the old town. Let the essence of eastern Canada stay not just in your camera but deep in your memory. 🔖 Quick info: Tianbao group codes for staying in Quebec old town: Letter D (stay at a hotel near the old town) Letter V (stay at Fairmont Le Château Frontenac) Click the 🔗 [product recommendations] below to purchase the same package~ For itinerary and details, please contact the merchant via [free consultation] at the bottom left~

Listen up, ladies! There’s a city in North America sealed by 400 years of time—a French dreamland💭 The entire city is enclosed by walls. Cobbled streets wind between the cliffside upper town and the valley lower town. Walking in during midsummer in July feels like stepping right into a scene from an old European film. Today, I’m giving you the full rundown on summer activities in this ancient city—the only one in North America with fully intact city walls👇 🚗 Getting there It takes about 3.5 hours by train from Montreal. Buying a non-refundable ticket in advance on the official website can save you nearly half the price. A round trip costs around 700–800 RMB. The train has Wi-Fi and nice scenery along the way, perfect for catching up on sleep or editing photos. The train station is right next to the old town. It’s a 15-minute walk to the core area. But beware! The old town is full of slopes and cobblestone streets. Dragging a suitcase uphill will make you want to cry. It’s best to take a taxi straight to your accommodation to drop off your luggage before heading out. Public transit within the city is enough to get around. Buy a day pass for unlimited rides; coverage is extensive. If you want to visit waterfalls or islands outside the city, renting a car offers more freedom. Major rental car brands have counters at the airport. 🏛️ Upper town: stand on the cliff and watch the great river flow The upper town is the heart of the old city, with all the main landmarks within walking distance. ⭐ Dufferin Terrace This cliffside boardwalk extends along the edge, with the St. Lawrence River beneath your feet. The river is so wide it looks like the sea. Come around 6 or 7 PM in summer. The sunlight turns the water into shattered gold, the mountain outlines on the opposite shore are clear, and the breeze carries mist that opens up every pore on your skin. ⭐ Star-shaped fortress At the end of the terrace, this is one of the best-preserved military forts in North America. In summer, there’s a scheduled changing of the guard ceremony every day. Soldiers in red uniforms march in formation, and the drumbeats echo between the walls. The scene feels like a time travel experience. Tickets cost about 12 CAD. It’s best to visit in the morning when the light is good for photos and it’s cooler. ⭐ Walk the city walls The only city walls in North America you can walk all the way around! The full loop is about 4.6 km and takes 1.5–2 hours to complete. Along the way, you’ll see the old town’s red copper spires, sailboats on the distant river, and flower-filled balconies at the base of the walls. In July, the wind on the walls is strong and cool, much more comfortable than the streets below. 🎨 Lower town: 400 years of lively French alleys There are two ways to get from upper town to lower town: take the funicular (about 5 CAD one way, just a few seconds, perfect for lazy travelers) or walk the famous “Breakneck Stairs” (free but really steep, don’t push it if your knees aren’t good). ⭐ Petit Champlain Street Known as the oldest commercial street in North America, it’s so narrow two people walking side by side have to turn sideways. Both sides are lined with old stone buildings, with geraniums and lavender on the windowsills. Summer sunlight slants through the gaps between buildings, casting stripes of light and shadow on the cobblestones. The street hides various handmade leather shops, independent galleries, and local artisan workshops. These aren’t the usual mass-produced souvenirs but truly heartfelt handmade items. There’s a small woodcarving shop where the owner carves on site. The flying wood shavings make for a very soothing scene. ⭐ Place Royale The core square of the lower town. Four hundred years ago, French explorers drove the first wooden stake here to found the city. Now, a huge mural wall stands in the center, using trompe-l'œil to layer building facades from different eras, making photos full of stories. In summer, street performers often entertain in the square—accordion players, saxophonists, portrait artists. Sitting on a bench by the square can easily fill an entire afternoon. 🌊 Suburban secret: a waterfall taller than Niagara A 15-minute drive east of the city is a giant waterfall with an 83-meter drop—30 meters taller than Niagara Falls! In summer, the water flow is abundant, and mist rises from the base like a white veil. The best part is you can take a cable car slowly from the top of the falls down to the valley floor or walk across a suspension bridge over the falls. The roaring water beneath pumps your adrenaline. The suspension bridge is free to cross. The cable car costs about 15 CAD round trip. At dusk, the waterfall is lit up. The water curtain glows with colorful lights, looking like a huge flowing gem. 🏝️ Île d’Orléans: bike through a pastoral poem North of the old town is a long, narrow river island. It’s a 20-minute drive across a bridge from the old town. The island feels nothing like a city. It’s all orchards, farms, vineyards, and century-old stone churches. The best summer activity is renting a bike to circle the island, about 60 km total. You can split it into two leisurely rides. Along the way, you’ll pass vast sunflower fields, strawberry picking farms, and riverside meadows where locals picnic on weekends. Several ferry docks on the island offer boat rides back to the old town. Combining biking and ferry rides makes for a fun route. There’s a cheese workshop on the island passed down through generations. You can tour the production process and taste fresh cheese on site. The flavor of freshly made cheese is nothing like supermarket products. 🌙 Where to stay It’s recommended to stay in the upper old town area, where you can walk to all the main attractions. Choose a room with a river view balcony. Open the window to see sailboats slowly moving on the St. Lawrence River and mountain silhouettes in the distance. In summer, sunsets last until 8 or 9 PM. Nestled on the balcony watching the sky change from orange to deep blue brings a peace you can’t get staying in the suburbs. If your budget allows, the lower town near the river is also charming. Fall asleep to the sound of the river and wake up to church bells. The 400-year-old spirit here has never faded. 📋 Quick practical info · Summer average temperature 22–26°C. Big temperature difference between day and night. Bring a light jacket · The old town is entirely French-speaking. English is also understood, but learning a few French phrases will earn you extra points · July hosts a large summer music festival lasting nearly two weeks, with live performances all over the streets · The Canadian dollar is currently about 5.2 RMB. Card payments are widely accepted · The time difference is 12 hours behind Beijing. It’s recommended to allow a day to adjust This city is the kind of place you don’t want to leave once you step inside. Four hundred years ago, the French built a city by this river. Four hundred years later, it remains the most European dreamlike place on the North American continent✨

#hotelreview My stay at Andaz Ottawa ByWard Market was a decent experience, offering a perfect blend of luxury and local charm right in the heart of Canada’s capital. Nestled in the vibrant ByWard Market district, this stylish hotel provided an ideal base for exploring the rich history and lively culture of Ottawa. However there are some areas that the hotel can improve. My check in only happened at 5:30pm due to the mismanagement of the housekeeping schedule. And the staffs didnt really do anything to compensate for tis inconvenience. Second, the hotel's amenities is really weak and boring, featuring only a small gym with few equipments. But other than that, this is a great hotel choice for those visiting Ottawa. My rating: 8/10 #andaz #ottawaexplore

Moraine Lake in Banff National Park, Canada, is world-renowned for its stunning turquoise glacial waters surrounded by the Valley of the Ten Peaks. The highlights are the million-dollar views and canoeing. However, personal vehicles are no longer allowed to drive in and park; visitors must use a shuttle service or stay at the Moraine Lake Lodge. I consider this the most beautiful lake I've ever visited—it's easily my number one. Highlights and impressions: The crystal-clear, emerald or turquoise water gets its striking color from rock flour. There's a short hike up the Rockpile Trail for that iconic, postcard-perfect panoramic view. Canoeing is a highly popular activity, offering an incredibly romantic vibe. Private vehicles are prohibited from entering (except for Moraine Lake Lodge guests or those with a disabled parking permit). You must book a Parks Canada Shuttle ticket in advance or use a private shuttle service. The lake is only accessible during the snow-free season (typically from late May to mid-October each year).

Drive from Toronto to Kingston's Thousand Islands, where in July the lake water is clear and blue, with over a thousand glacial islands scattered across the surface.

Board the boat on time; some islands are private property and landing is prohibited. Do not dock without permission. 4. The lake's reflection is dazzling; sunglasses are recommended, and try to avoid taking photos in the harsh midday light. 5. The drive from Toronto is long, so fill up your gas tank in advance and allow plenty of time for the round trip.

#canadatrip Cons: Overpriced and overrated. Parking is expensive, and food options inside are mostly unhealthy and way too costly for what you get. The overall experience doesn’t match the high ticket and food prices. Definitely not worth it for what’s offered; 1 out of 5. Pros: I visited Canada’s Wonderland this past summer and spent a full day enjoying both the rides and the water park. It was a hot day, so I started with Splash Works; the water area was lively but not overwhelming. There are several pools and slides for every age, and it’s a great place to cool off. The wave pool was a highlight, and there were plenty of shaded spots and chairs to relax between rides. After the water park, I explored the rest of the park and went on a few of the main roller coasters. The sight of the massive tracks and loops from a distance still makes the park feel impressive every time you visit. The atmosphere is energetic but family-friendly; with lots of music, food stands, and people having fun. I ended the day near the main fountain and mountain area, which looks especially beautiful in the sunlight. The water and landscaping give it a resort feel, and it’s a perfect spot to take photos before leaving. Overall, it was a great summer day; well organized, clean, and full of energy. If you plan ahead and arrive early, you can easily make the most of both the water park and the rides.

Just returned from Canada, and the aftereffects are strong. That land has a magic that pulls you out of everyday trivialities—the snowy peaks of the Rockies, the cobblestone streets of Quebec, the Pacific breeze… my phone storage kept filling up again and again. If you’re planning a trip, this straightforward guide should help you avoid some detours. Trip highlights and planning Canada is huge, so it’s unrealistic to see it all at once. It’s best to pick one side first. Western Canada features stunning natural wonders and offers a “visual overload” experience. Eastern Canada is full of French charm, perfect for leisurely wandering. Western Canada (Banff + Vancouver) must-see spots: Banff National Park: Emerald waters of Lake Louise surrounded by mountains, and the even more stunning blue-green Moraine Lake—be sure to go boating. It’s best to drive from Calgary, about 1.5 hours away. During peak season, book your park entry 7 days in advance. Before 10 AM is the best time to avoid crowds. Columbia Icefield: Experience the giant ice explorer vehicle driving onto the Athabasca Glacier in Jasper National Park. It’s a one-of-a-kind feeling. Stanley Park in Vancouver: One of the largest urban parks in North America. Ride along the 8.8 km seawall trail with forest on one side and ocean on the other—extremely relaxing. The park is free. In autumn, the red maples combined with the sea view capture the soul of Vancouver. Capilano Suspension Bridge Park: Walk among the rainforest treetops. Great for adventure lovers and photographers. Free shuttle service is available from downtown. Eastern Canada (Toronto + Quebec) must-see spots: Niagara Falls: It’s recommended to buy a package that includes the Maid of the Mist boat tour to experience the roaring water up close. Remember to wear a raincoat. It’s a 1.5-hour drive from Toronto. Old Quebec City: Filming location for the Korean drama “Goblin” and the only place in North America with preserved city walls. The Fairmont Le Château Frontenac is a landmark. The cobblestone streets of Petit Champlain are lined with colorful shops, giving a European vibe. Entry to the old city is free. Visit in the morning for fewer crowds and better photos. Some buildings require tickets for interior visits. Old Montreal: Visit the Notre-Dame Basilica, whose lavish interior is worth seeing. From Mount Royal Park, enjoy panoramic city views. In autumn, it’s a prime spot for maple leaf viewing. Parliament Hill in Ottawa: The Gothic architecture is grand and solemn. There’s a light show at night. The surrounding area has many canals where you can boat in summer and skate in winter. Food recommendations Poutine (fries with gravy and cheese curds): Canada’s national dish, originating in Quebec. Hot gravy poured over fries and cheese curds. Try it at street-side shops in Old Quebec City. It pairs perfectly with beer. Montreal smoked meat sandwich: Schwartz’s is the most famous. Smoked brisket served on rye bread, juicy and flavorful. Fresh lobster: Available in Vancouver or Toronto. Simply boiled and dipped in butter, it’s incredibly fresh and sweet. Maple syrup and ice wine: Look for the “Canada No.1” label on maple syrup. Wineries near Niagara Falls offer ice wine tastings. It’s very sweet and makes a great gift. Nanaimo bars: A three-layer dessert with a coconut base, custard middle, and chocolate top. Goes well with black coffee. Travel tips Visa and internet: Apply for a visa or eTA in advance. Buy a local SIM card or enable international roaming. You’ll need internet for navigation and research. Currency and tipping: Card payments are common. Carry a small amount of cash (CAD). Restaurants usually expect 13%–15% tip. Clothing and gear: Canada has big temperature swings between morning and night, especially in the Rockies. Bring a light jacket or shell even in summer. Sunscreen and a sun hat are essential on sunny days due to strong UV rays. Hiking shoes are important as there’s a lot of walking in scenic areas. Transportation and driving: Self-driving is highly recommended in Western Canada. In Eastern Canada, VIA trains or buses are convenient between cities. Download offline maps in advance, as some areas in Banff have no signal. Use mobile apps or PRESTO cards for city buses and subways. Museums and closing times: Many art galleries and museums close on Mondays, such as the Royal Ontario Museum. Check official websites and book tickets in advance. Tripods and flash photography are not allowed at the CN Tower, and the observation deck stops admitting visitors at 9 PM. Respect wildlife: Keep your distance from bears, deer, and other animals in Banff or Jasper. Enjoy them from your car and do not feed them.

The August wind carries the salty sea mist and the sweet scent of mangoes, glass skyscrapers flicker in the tropical downpour, and the entire city feels like a newly opened nautical music box, flowing with the polyphony of colonial history and modern trade in the morning light. · -- 🌴 Three-Day Travel Guide Transportation: It is recommended to buy a metro card (you can ride the century-old canal train), the old town area is suitable for exploring on foot Accommodation: Recommended boutique hotels in Casco Viejo, with terraces offering views of the Pacific sunset and church bell tower silhouettes 🌟 Day One: Time and Space Folded · Panama Canal Morning Mist Watch massive ships pass through the Miraflores Locks at 7 a.m., the sound of steel cables rubbing accompanied by Spanish commentary. When the gates open, the waters of two oceans embrace here. Locals say, "This is the most romantic seam on Earth." · Old Town Maze Walk Get lost among colorful colonial buildings, the altar of the Golden Church covered with mother-of-pearl inlaid stars. Around the corner, meet artisans making jewelry from discarded ship wood, who say every grain records the voyage story of a ship. · Seafood Market Twilight Fresh sea urchin opened at the Caisanero Market, paired with lime juice and volcanic chili sauce. Fishmongers often give you two extra oysters, pointing to old photos on the wall of a young Che Guevara working here. 🏙️ Day Two: Rainforest and Neon · Biodiversity Museum Under the colorful steel giant sail designed by Frank Gehry, see the giant Victoria water lily supporting the entire Central American ecological map. The curator will let you touch corals from both oceans and explain how they meet here. · Rainforest Canopy Walkway A twenty-minute taxi ride to Metropolitan Park, where toucans and sloths stroll overhead among the treetops. The guide suddenly whispers, "Listen, this is the monkey symphony Columbus heard five hundred years ago." · Coastal Avenue Nocturne Along Cinta Costera, watch container ship lights merge into a galaxy, street performers play the marimba with the "Song of Panama." Buy a cocktail mixed with local sugarcane rum, feeling as if you are in a futuristic nautical era. 🎨 Day Three: Hidden Treasures · Taboga Island Exploration Take a boat to a secret island in the Pearl Islands, where wild parrots peck mangoes among the ruins of a Spanish colonial fortress. The island keeper will show you pirate marks carved on the cliffs—Captain Morgan once buried treasure here. · Handmade Workshop Experience Learn fabric dyeing at the "Mola House" in San Felipe, using indigo and annatto to dye the red and blue of the Panama flag. The eighty-year-old shop owner grandmother says, "Our tradition is older than the canal." · Local Kitchen Secrets Follow a chef to the market to learn about cassava, taro, and twenty kinds of bananas. In an open kitchen, bake corn tortillas on volcanic stone, paired with Colon lemon-marinated fish, the sourness as lively as the Panamanian spirit. · -- 🌉 Special Experiences · Canal Lock Cycling: Ride a bike along Amador Causeway, watching cargo ships slowly rise and fall beside you · Old Town Moonlight Cinema: Watch outdoor movies every Friday at Bolivar Plaza, with coconut shadows and colonial buildings forming a natural screen · Traditional Costume Making: Try on the flower-embroidered Panama pollera dress at the Pollera Museum, where artisans say each piece takes a year to complete · -- "Panama City taught me: true connection is not conquering geography, but like the canal—allowing different civilizations to create new rhythms through collision."

Feel the thrill of Niagara Falls! 🌊 Standing close to the edge, watching the sheer power as water cascades down, is unforgettable. Take a walk along the observation deck or opt for a boat tour to experience the falls up close (expect to get drenched!). The falls are equally stunning at night when they’re beautifully illuminated. A spectacular sight you can’t miss! 💦✨ #voyagevibes #niagarafalls #ontario #canada

Lake Louise in Banff National Park, Canada, is a picturesque turquoise-emerald freshwater lake surrounded by a breathtaking backdrop of snow-capped mountains and glaciers. With a 10/10 rating for being absolutely worth the trip, it is perfect for canoeing and world-class nature hiking. Must-Do Activities Emerald-blue water: Created by fine rock dust (glacial flour) from glaciers reflecting the sunlight. Canoeing: The highlight activity on the lake, where you can experience tranquility and panoramic views (costs around 95-105 CAD per hour). Hiking: Popular trails like The Beehive or paths leading to high vantage points offer full, spectacular views of the lake. Hiking takes about 2-5 hours. Best Time to Visit: Summer (June - August): The ice melts to reveal clear, vibrant blue water. The great weather makes it ideal for hiking and boating (expect the biggest crowds during this time).

🏨 Overview If you're like me, you might find the "heritage hotels" within the old city of Khiva to sound romantic but not necessarily comfortable. Rooms converted from old madrassas are often cramped, with outdated facilities, and issues with air conditioning, water pressure, and soundproofing. I later realized that Khiva is actually very small, and it only takes about a 10-minute drive from outside the city to the edge of the old town. So, following the principle of "stay new rather than old," I turned my attention to the newly developed Arda Khiva area. This is a themed tourist area built in recent years, featuring large water entertainment facilities, an opera house, gondolas on canals, and several new hotels. The streets are clean, with a mix of "old city charm and modern leisure," reminiscent of a blend between Morocco and Venice. However, it’s currently not very popular, with hardly any tourists around, making it surprisingly quiet and ideal for travelers who want to take photos, relax, and avoid crowds. There are a few hotels here, such as the more expensive Farovon Khiva, but I opted for the more cost-effective Karvon Saroy. 🛏 In Room The public areas and rooms of the hotel are rich in local character, and each room comes with a balcony. With very few guests—probably only three or four rooms occupied—the hotel atmosphere was very quiet. 🍽 Dining Breakfast is still served buffet-style and hasn’t been downgraded despite the low number of guests. There’s a decent selection of bread, nuts, dried fruits, and fresh fruits. While not particularly exciting, it’s enough to fill you up. 🧘🏻♂️ Facilities Don’t expect a gym or pool, but being located within the tourist area, there’s plenty to explore nearby. Hotel management is a bit lax. For instance, the receptionist accidentally added an extra "0" to my bill, turning a room charge of over 400 into over 4000! Since the system couldn’t reverse the transaction, they refunded me in cash (USD), and with the credit card cashback, I ended up unexpectedly gaining over 80 bucks. Aside from this, the overall experience was relaxed and comfortable, with stable Wi-Fi and ample hot water. 🔖 Conclusion If you don’t insist on staying within the old city, consider looking further afield. Staying in a new area like Arda Khiva offers a more spacious and quieter travel experience, giving you a different perspective of Khiva. @trip.com_hk Download the Trip.com app → Search "FamilyTravel" on the homepage → Discover new family travel recommendations and exclusive offers!

Standing in the heart of Ottawa, the Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica is one of Canada's most breathtaking architectural treasures. Step inside, and you're greeted by soaring vaulted ceilings, shimmering blue interiors, intricate wood carvings, and dazzling stained-glass windows that fill the cathedral with a warm, ethereal glow. Built in the 19th century, it is the oldest and largest church in Ottawa, renowned for its striking twin silver spires and richly decorated Gothic Revival interior. Every detail—from the hand-carved altars to the golden sanctuary—reflects extraordinary craftsmanship and timeless elegance. Whether you're drawn by history, architecture, or simply a moment of quiet reflection, this remarkable cathedral offers an unforgettable experience. 📍 Location: Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada ⛪ Highlight: Ottawa's oldest and largest church, celebrated for its magnificent Gothic Revival architecture ✨ Feature: Twin silver spires, vibrant stained-glass windows, ornate wood carvings, soaring vaulted ceilings, and peaceful interiors 🍃 Atmosphere: Serene, majestic, and deeply inspiring 📸 Best for: Architecture lovers, cultural exploration, photography, and quiet contemplation 💡 Travel Tip: Visit in the morning or late afternoon, when natural light streams through the stained glass and beautifully illuminates the cathedral's intricate interior. Some places impress with their grandeur. This cathedral leaves a lasting impression through its quiet beauty. ⛪✨

If there is a kind of scenery that can make you forget the cold and lose track of time, it must be the northern lights. The northern lights, also known as the aurora, are a natural phenomenon formed when charged particles released by the sun collide with oxygen and nitrogen in the Earth's upper atmosphere. Green is the most common color, while red, purple, pink, and blue are relatively rare. When solar activity intensifies, the aurora becomes brighter and more spectacular, sometimes covering the entire sky. The best places to see the northern lights in Canada include Yellowknife, Whitehorse, and Jasper National Park. To increase your chances of seeing the northern lights, it is recommended to visit between late August and early April, with November to March being the prime viewing season. The aurora is most active from 10 PM to 2 AM. Staying away from city lights and choosing clear, cloudless nights makes it easier to experience this cosmic romance. For photography enthusiasts, the northern lights are a visual feast. Snow-covered landscapes, tranquil lakes, forests, cabins, and the vibrant aurora blend together, making every shutter click feel like capturing a dreamlike masterpiece. Some say those who see the northern lights will receive good luck; others say it symbolizes hope, dreams, and a beautiful beginning. Whether the legends are true or not, when you see that flowing sky with your own eyes, you will be deeply moved by its awe. If I could choose only one natural wonder to chase in my lifetime, I would definitely choose the northern lights in Canada. 🌌 Are you willing to embark on a journey to chase the light for this dreamlike sky? Follow me to explore Canada’s most beautiful scenery and discover more travel destinations worth visiting in a lifetime! 🇨🇦

Most travelers visiting Vancouver stick to Stanley Park, the Capilano Suspension Bridge, and the Canada Place waterfront. But if you venture just a little off the beaten path, the city reveals a completely different side of itself. Abandoned towers, secret beaches, historic gardens, forest trails, and scenic viewpoints known mostly to locals. Here are the places that were true discoveries for me. 🌊 1. Wreck Beach Vancouver's most unique beach is tucked away at the base of towering cliffs near the UBC campus. You can only get down here via a long wooden staircase with almost 500 steps. Even if you don't plan on staying long, the ocean views alone are worth the trek down. 🌿 2. Nitobe Memorial Garden One of the most beautiful Japanese gardens outside of Japan. You won't find noisy tourist groups here—just bridges, stone lanterns, koi carp, and absolute tranquility. 🌲 3. Pacific Spirit Regional Park A massive rainforest right on the edge of the city. Tens of kilometers of trails weave through giant cedars and Douglas firs, and just a few minutes into your walk, it's hard to believe downtown Vancouver is so close. 🪨 4. Whytecliff Park A small oceanfront park famous for its islet, which you can walk to at low tide. It's one of the best spots to observe starfish, sea anemones, and other tide pool creatures. 🌅 5. Queen Elizabeth Park Quarry Garden Most people come here for the observation deck, but the park's real secret is the former quarry transformed into a multi-level garden with waterfalls, bridges, and exotic plants. 🌊 6. Lighthouse Park An ancient coastal forest with trees over 400 years old leads to granite cliffs offering breathtaking views of the strait and the Point Atkinson Lighthouse. 🚶 7. Trout Lake A peaceful lake in the eastern part of the city where locals love to hang out. It's a great place to have a picnic, feed the ducks, or watch the sunset away from the tourist crowds. 🌸 8. Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden The first classical Chinese garden built outside of China by master artisans from Suzhou. Many people walk right past it, completely unaware that a true slice of traditional China is hidden behind its modest walls. 🚢 9. Shipyards District (North Vancouver) Most tourists don't cross the inlet, but just a few minutes on the SeaBus lands you in an atmospheric neighborhood with stunning views of the Vancouver skyline, markets, cafes, and a scenic boardwalk. 🏞️ 10. Cleveland Dam This high dam set against the North Shore mountains looks especially impressive after it rains, when the water roars down the spillway. Beautiful walking trails start right nearby. 🌲 11. Quarry Rock A short hike of about an hour leads to one of the most stunning panoramic viewpoints in the region. It offers a sweeping view of Indian Arm, surrounded by dense evergreen forests. 🐦 12. Reifel Bird Sanctuary Located about an hour's drive from downtown, this is a true paradise for bird watchers. Depending on the season, you can spot hundreds of species of migratory birds, cranes, owls, and even bald eagles. 🌉 13. Lynn Canyon Ecology Centre Most people head to the paid Capilano bridge, but at Lynn Canyon, you can cross a suspension bridge for free, check out waterfalls, and learn more about the ecology of British Columbia's famous rainforests. 🌊 14. Iona Beach Regional Park A rare spot featuring a long jetty that stretches almost four kilometers right out into the ocean. Walking along it feels like you're walking on water, surrounded by nothing but the sea, mountains, and airplanes coming in for a landing. 🌄 15. Cypress Lookout Most people come here in the winter to ski, but in the summer, this viewpoint becomes one of the best places to see all of Vancouver, the inlet, the islands, and the mountain peaks in one sweeping glance. 💡 My top tip Don't try to see Vancouver just by ticking off a list of its most popular attractions. The most memorable experiences are often waiting exactly where tourist groups rarely venture.

If you're visiting the small town of Canmore in Alberta, you absolutely can't miss the highly popular The Grizzly Paw Brewing Company on Main Street! Located at 622 Main St, this brewery and restaurant not only offers a fantastic dining atmosphere but also features massive windows. You can enjoy your meal while taking in the majestic mountain views—it's the perfect spot for photos! 🍻 Loved by both locals and tourists, this place often hosts live music and holiday-themed events. Sitting on the patio truly makes you feel like you're in the heart of a Canadian mountain town!

Their craft beer is a local staple, and getting a Flight Set (a sampler of mini beers) with friends is a must. On weekends, you'll see plenty of people chatting and chilling all afternoon. Even if you don't drink, you can enjoy their signature sodas and handmade desserts. I personally tried the Grizzly Burger—the cheese and gravy were perfectly rich. Paired with their house-made fries and a glass of their signature beer, the whole experience was just top-notch! Quick Tips: 1. It gets a bit chilly in the mountains at dusk, so remember to bring a light jacket if you're sitting on the patio! 2. It gets pretty crowded during peak dining hours. If you want to avoid a long wait, try to arrive early or call ahead to book a table. 3. They have a souvenir shop where you can grab bottled versions of their beer and soda to go. They make great gifts or treats for yourself. Enjoy!

In wintertime Beijing, if you want to take your children away from the city's hustle and bustle, Yanbai Mountain Villa is definitely a hidden gem! As a new member of SLH (Small Luxury Hotels of the World) in Beijing, it is located by Yanqi Lake. With every step, the scenery changes, as if you are inside a painting, allowing families to experience the perfect blend of nature and luxury during winter. 🥂 Hotel Design Aesthetics Designed by Pritzker Prize winner Master Wang Shu, the architecture is inspired by Song Dynasty artist Wang Ximeng’s "A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains," and the landscape layout references Song Dynasty Liu Songnian’s "Four Views of Mountains and Water," grand in scale, simple and elegant. In winter, the snow-covered gardens and antique-style buildings complement each other beautifully, like a three-dimensional Song Dynasty landscape painting. Children can experience the charm of Chinese aesthetics, playing while cultivating their sense of beauty. The hotel backs onto the southern foothills of the Yanshan Mountains, with a 27,000-square-meter garden housing over 50,000 Yanshan pines and cypress trees. In winter, the pine branches remain verdant, dotted with snow, creating stunning scenery. The 32 rooms and suites are scattered among the courtyard and forest views, each offering a different winter landscape, allowing children to embrace nature right from their windows. ☕ Family-Friendly Experiences The hotel offers 24-hour attentive, customized "Stylish Butler" service. The butler thoughtfully arranges itineraries and prepares children’s supplies (such as kids’ toiletries, small slippers, picture books) according to family needs, making traveling with kids worry-free. Unmissable family experiences: ✨ Enjoy panoramic views of Yanqi Lake and the southern shore of Yanqi Island from the viewing platform. In winter, the lake surface freezes, and the distant mountains are snow-capped, creating spectacular scenery for children to feel the vastness of nature. ✨ At the lobby bar, tea pavilion, or whiskey bar, order a hot drink (kids can have warm milk or juice), warm up while admiring the beautiful views outside, making for a cozy and pleasant family gathering. ✨ The hotel offers various dining options to satisfy children’s tastes, including classic French cuisine, traditional Chaoshan dishes, and even VIP state banquet-level dining. Fresh ingredients and exquisite cooking, plus children’s exclusive meals (such as tomato meat sauce pasta and vegetable porridge), ensure kids eat happily. ✨ Stroll through the garden landscape, peaceful and serene in winter. Introduce children to pine and cypress trees, breathe fresh air, and exercise; you can also enjoy the outdoor hot spring pool to dispel winter chill, with gentle children’s hot spring services available. ✨ Walk along the rooftop walkway, overlooking the entire villa’s beautiful scenery. The winter sun is gentle, letting children feel the breeze on their faces and enjoy quality family time. ✨ Interact and play with children in the art gallery or banquet hall amid mountain and water light effects and soft music, experiencing an artistic atmosphere and nurturing children’s artistic sensibilities. 🎪 Nearby Family Attractions The hotel offers customized activity services. Popular family attractions around Yanqi Lake include Hongluo Temple, Mutianyu Great Wall, Baiquan Mountain, Qinglong Gorge, Huanghuacheng Water Great Wall, and Beijing Huairou International Ski Resort: · Hongluo Temple: The ancient temple’s snowy winter scenery is stunning. Take children to pray, admire plum blossoms, and experience Buddhist culture. · Mutianyu Great Wall: Climb the Great Wall in winter, admire the snow-covered walls, feel the weight of history, and take the cable car to reduce physical exertion. · Beijing Huairou International Ski Resort: Let children experience the fun of skiing, with a children’s ski area and professional instructors, ensuring kids safely enjoy winter sports. 🏷️ Winter Family Tips Winter temperatures in Beijing are low. When traveling with children, bring thick coats, hats, scarves, gloves, and snow boots to avoid catching cold. The hotel rooms have sufficient heating, so lightweight indoor clothing can be prepared. Nearby attractions are some distance from the hotel, so self-driving or having the butler arrange transportation is recommended for easier travel with kids.

Many people visiting eastern Canada for the first time will definitely stop in Quebec. ‼️ Unfortunately, most tours on the market only let you “visit” here, not “stay” here. 📸 Those who just “visit” usually take a photo of Château Frontenac, stroll along Petit Champlain Street and Place Royale, then rush off to another city. This has become the standard pace for most tours. ✖️ So, those who only “visit” leave with beautiful photos but miss many of Quebec’s most captivating places and moments. 💥 Don’t be tricked by low-cost tours! This is the only walled city in North America that’s a UNESCO World Heritage site. Its true charm isn’t just in the daytime. 🌌 When night falls, the tour groups leave, the old town lights up warmly, the cobblestone streets return to quiet, the aroma from corner cafés drifts through the air, and history and life begin to intertwine again. That’s when you realize Quebec isn’t just a sightseeing spot—it’s a living, breathing city. 🔥 This year marks the 10th anniversary of “Goblin.” While countless people flock to Petit Champlain Street searching for that “magic door,” we want to offer you a truly immersive experience of living in this World Heritage site. ⚠️ Many eastern Canada tours pass through Quebec. To cut costs, many itineraries leave the old town for the next city right after afternoon sightseeing, treating Quebec as just a stopover. We see it differently—we consider it one of the most important experiences of the entire trip. 💥 You can stay at a hotel near Quebec’s old town, or upgrade to the iconic Fairmont Le Château Frontenac, turning your trip from “walking into the old town” to “living in the old town.” ⁉️ Why we insist: staying in the old town is the only right way to experience it 💢 Most tours, to save costs, book accommodations in other cities, making you say goodbye to the old town’s lights at dusk in a rush. Staying in the old town means opening your window to centuries of history. ❶ Exclusive dawn and dusk: only by staying in the old town can you stroll the empty cobblestone streets at sunrise when the first light hits Château Frontenac’s copper roof; and only at night, after the tourists leave, can you enjoy the quiet and romance of Petit Champlain Street. These are moments “passersby” will never experience. ❷ Deep downtime: staying in the old town isn’t just about checking off landmarks. It lets you explore the city at your own pace: the military history of the star-shaped fortress, the religious theology of Notre-Dame Basilica, the French romance of street murals, and the same filming spots from “Goblin” (the big lawn, Christmas shop, red door…). The best travel is not rushing but having the freedom to choose your time. ❸ High standards: choosing to stay in the old town reflects our commitment to travel quality and the meaning of “depth.” It’s not just a choice of accommodation—it’s an attitude. We want you to be part of Quebec’s story, not just a spectator. 🍁 Of course, Quebec will be a highlight of your trip, but to truly understand eastern Canada, don’t miss these places! In Montreal, experience the unique blend of French culture and a modern North American city; in Ottawa, visit Canada’s capital to learn about the country’s history and culture; head to the four-season resort Mont Tremblant to enjoy the lakes and mountains beloved by Canadians; explore Crystal Falls for the natural thrill of forest waterfalls; then visit the Gulf of St. Lawrence to take a boat tour and witness whales breaching the water... 📢 When you come to Quebec, don’t be a hurried visitor. Join our in-depth itinerary and live the story of the old town. Let the essence of eastern Canada stay not just in your camera but deep in your memory. 🔖 Quick info: Tianbao group codes for staying in Quebec old town: Letter D (stay at a hotel near the old town) Letter V (stay at Fairmont Le Château Frontenac) Click the 🔗 [product recommendations] below to purchase the same package~ For itinerary and details, please contact the merchant via [free consultation] at the bottom left~

Listen up, ladies! There’s a city in North America sealed by 400 years of time—a French dreamland💭 The entire city is enclosed by walls. Cobbled streets wind between the cliffside upper town and the valley lower town. Walking in during midsummer in July feels like stepping right into a scene from an old European film. Today, I’m giving you the full rundown on summer activities in this ancient city—the only one in North America with fully intact city walls👇 🚗 Getting there It takes about 3.5 hours by train from Montreal. Buying a non-refundable ticket in advance on the official website can save you nearly half the price. A round trip costs around 700–800 RMB. The train has Wi-Fi and nice scenery along the way, perfect for catching up on sleep or editing photos. The train station is right next to the old town. It’s a 15-minute walk to the core area. But beware! The old town is full of slopes and cobblestone streets. Dragging a suitcase uphill will make you want to cry. It’s best to take a taxi straight to your accommodation to drop off your luggage before heading out. Public transit within the city is enough to get around. Buy a day pass for unlimited rides; coverage is extensive. If you want to visit waterfalls or islands outside the city, renting a car offers more freedom. Major rental car brands have counters at the airport. 🏛️ Upper town: stand on the cliff and watch the great river flow The upper town is the heart of the old city, with all the main landmarks within walking distance. ⭐ Dufferin Terrace This cliffside boardwalk extends along the edge, with the St. Lawrence River beneath your feet. The river is so wide it looks like the sea. Come around 6 or 7 PM in summer. The sunlight turns the water into shattered gold, the mountain outlines on the opposite shore are clear, and the breeze carries mist that opens up every pore on your skin. ⭐ Star-shaped fortress At the end of the terrace, this is one of the best-preserved military forts in North America. In summer, there’s a scheduled changing of the guard ceremony every day. Soldiers in red uniforms march in formation, and the drumbeats echo between the walls. The scene feels like a time travel experience. Tickets cost about 12 CAD. It’s best to visit in the morning when the light is good for photos and it’s cooler. ⭐ Walk the city walls The only city walls in North America you can walk all the way around! The full loop is about 4.6 km and takes 1.5–2 hours to complete. Along the way, you’ll see the old town’s red copper spires, sailboats on the distant river, and flower-filled balconies at the base of the walls. In July, the wind on the walls is strong and cool, much more comfortable than the streets below. 🎨 Lower town: 400 years of lively French alleys There are two ways to get from upper town to lower town: take the funicular (about 5 CAD one way, just a few seconds, perfect for lazy travelers) or walk the famous “Breakneck Stairs” (free but really steep, don’t push it if your knees aren’t good). ⭐ Petit Champlain Street Known as the oldest commercial street in North America, it’s so narrow two people walking side by side have to turn sideways. Both sides are lined with old stone buildings, with geraniums and lavender on the windowsills. Summer sunlight slants through the gaps between buildings, casting stripes of light and shadow on the cobblestones. The street hides various handmade leather shops, independent galleries, and local artisan workshops. These aren’t the usual mass-produced souvenirs but truly heartfelt handmade items. There’s a small woodcarving shop where the owner carves on site. The flying wood shavings make for a very soothing scene. ⭐ Place Royale The core square of the lower town. Four hundred years ago, French explorers drove the first wooden stake here to found the city. Now, a huge mural wall stands in the center, using trompe-l'œil to layer building facades from different eras, making photos full of stories. In summer, street performers often entertain in the square—accordion players, saxophonists, portrait artists. Sitting on a bench by the square can easily fill an entire afternoon. 🌊 Suburban secret: a waterfall taller than Niagara A 15-minute drive east of the city is a giant waterfall with an 83-meter drop—30 meters taller than Niagara Falls! In summer, the water flow is abundant, and mist rises from the base like a white veil. The best part is you can take a cable car slowly from the top of the falls down to the valley floor or walk across a suspension bridge over the falls. The roaring water beneath pumps your adrenaline. The suspension bridge is free to cross. The cable car costs about 15 CAD round trip. At dusk, the waterfall is lit up. The water curtain glows with colorful lights, looking like a huge flowing gem. 🏝️ Île d’Orléans: bike through a pastoral poem North of the old town is a long, narrow river island. It’s a 20-minute drive across a bridge from the old town. The island feels nothing like a city. It’s all orchards, farms, vineyards, and century-old stone churches. The best summer activity is renting a bike to circle the island, about 60 km total. You can split it into two leisurely rides. Along the way, you’ll pass vast sunflower fields, strawberry picking farms, and riverside meadows where locals picnic on weekends. Several ferry docks on the island offer boat rides back to the old town. Combining biking and ferry rides makes for a fun route. There’s a cheese workshop on the island passed down through generations. You can tour the production process and taste fresh cheese on site. The flavor of freshly made cheese is nothing like supermarket products. 🌙 Where to stay It’s recommended to stay in the upper old town area, where you can walk to all the main attractions. Choose a room with a river view balcony. Open the window to see sailboats slowly moving on the St. Lawrence River and mountain silhouettes in the distance. In summer, sunsets last until 8 or 9 PM. Nestled on the balcony watching the sky change from orange to deep blue brings a peace you can’t get staying in the suburbs. If your budget allows, the lower town near the river is also charming. Fall asleep to the sound of the river and wake up to church bells. The 400-year-old spirit here has never faded. 📋 Quick practical info · Summer average temperature 22–26°C. Big temperature difference between day and night. Bring a light jacket · The old town is entirely French-speaking. English is also understood, but learning a few French phrases will earn you extra points · July hosts a large summer music festival lasting nearly two weeks, with live performances all over the streets · The Canadian dollar is currently about 5.2 RMB. Card payments are widely accepted · The time difference is 12 hours behind Beijing. It’s recommended to allow a day to adjust This city is the kind of place you don’t want to leave once you step inside. Four hundred years ago, the French built a city by this river. Four hundred years later, it remains the most European dreamlike place on the North American continent✨

#hotelreview My stay at Andaz Ottawa ByWard Market was a decent experience, offering a perfect blend of luxury and local charm right in the heart of Canada’s capital. Nestled in the vibrant ByWard Market district, this stylish hotel provided an ideal base for exploring the rich history and lively culture of Ottawa. However there are some areas that the hotel can improve. My check in only happened at 5:30pm due to the mismanagement of the housekeeping schedule. And the staffs didnt really do anything to compensate for tis inconvenience. Second, the hotel's amenities is really weak and boring, featuring only a small gym with few equipments. But other than that, this is a great hotel choice for those visiting Ottawa. My rating: 8/10 #andaz #ottawaexplore

Moraine Lake in Banff National Park, Canada, is world-renowned for its stunning turquoise glacial waters surrounded by the Valley of the Ten Peaks. The highlights are the million-dollar views and canoeing. However, personal vehicles are no longer allowed to drive in and park; visitors must use a shuttle service or stay at the Moraine Lake Lodge. I consider this the most beautiful lake I've ever visited—it's easily my number one. Highlights and impressions: The crystal-clear, emerald or turquoise water gets its striking color from rock flour. There's a short hike up the Rockpile Trail for that iconic, postcard-perfect panoramic view. Canoeing is a highly popular activity, offering an incredibly romantic vibe. Private vehicles are prohibited from entering (except for Moraine Lake Lodge guests or those with a disabled parking permit). You must book a Parks Canada Shuttle ticket in advance or use a private shuttle service. The lake is only accessible during the snow-free season (typically from late May to mid-October each year).
