#travelwithfootball As night falls during the FIFA World Cup, the Vancouver Public Library transforms into one of the city’s most striking architectural sights. Illuminated against the downtown skyline, its glowing curves and modern design create a dramatic contrast with the surrounding city lights. Visitors walking through the area in the evening can enjoy the vibrant urban atmosphere while admiring the library’s illuminated structure from outside. It becomes a peaceful yet impressive landmark at night, offering a memorable moment of calm and beauty amid the excitement of World Cup celebrations.

Ottawa is often dubbed a quiet, straight-laced capital, but that's just a first impression. In a single day, you can do it all: attend a parliamentary session (even if just virtually), stroll along a UNESCO World Heritage site, marvel at Louise Bourgeois’ giant spider sculpture, and dig into the best poutine in the country. The city sits right on the border of two provinces and cultures—English-speaking Ontario and French-speaking Quebec—a blend you can feel in the architecture, bilingual signs, and local food scene. ☀️ 9:00 AM — Parliament Hill Start at the main attraction. Even if you aren't a politics buff, the sheer scale of this Victorian Gothic masterpiece is awe-inspiring. Climb the wide steps of the Centre Block and check out the monuments to queens and the "Famous Five" feminists. In the summer, exactly at 9:45 AM, the Changing of the Guard kicks off—a vibrant spectacle featuring red tunics and bearskin hats. 🏛 10:30 AM — Peace Tower Grab a ticket for the tower's observation deck right inside the Parliament building (during peak season, it’s best to get there right at opening). From 300 feet (92 meters) up, you get picture-perfect views of the Rideau Canal, the French-speaking city of Gatineau across the water, and the winding Ottawa River. 🌊 11:30 AM — Ottawa Locks Head down to the waterfront. Built by Irish laborers in the 19th century, this historic waterway connects Lake Ontario to the Ottawa River. During the summer, cruise boats glide through here, while in the winter, the city turns it into the world's longest naturally frozen skating rink, stretching almost 5 miles (8 kilometers). 🥐 1:00 PM — Lunch at ByWard Market The historic belly of the city. It’s loud, crowded, and incredibly delicious. Grab some iconic street food to go: a classic BeaverTails pastry (fried dough coated in cinnamon sugar), a piping hot bowl of poutine loaded with cheese curds and gravy, or a mouthwatering Quebec-style smoked meat sandwich. ⚜ 2:30 PM — Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica Tucked away behind government buildings, this cathedral will blow you away from the inside. Its ceiling is adorned with gold maple leaves, and the walls are painted a deep, mesmerizing blue. It's the most photographed church in Canada, and with its dramatic lighting, it looks straight out of a historical movie set. 🕸 3:30 PM — National Gallery of Canada and the "Maman" Sculpture Cross the bridge over the Rideau Canal. Right at the gallery's entrance, you'll be greeted by a 30-foot (9-meter) bronze spider. Inside, you'll find the largest collection of paintings by Canada's "Group of Seven," Indigenous totem poles, and halls filled with European art. The glass and pink granite building itself is considered a masterpiece of modern architecture. 🔭 5:00 PM — Canadian Museum of History Take a quick, free NCC shuttle bus or a cab across the river into Quebec (Gatineau). It's the most visited museum in the country. Forget boring display cases—here you'll find massive forest dioramas, authentic Viking canoes, and a life-size recreation of a street in Old Montreal. The top floor features a panoramic cafe with the absolute best view of the Parliament complex across the water. 🌇 6:30 PM — Major's Hill Park Head back into Ontario and walk up to the park overlooking the locks. Locals flock here with blankets and coffees. It’s the ultimate spot to catch the sunset: the sun dips right behind the Parliament spires, reflecting off the glass skyscrapers downtown. 💡 Good to Know: · 📍 Starting point for your taxi/rideshare: 111 Wellington St, Parliament Hill. · 🚶 The route is entirely walkable with minimal elevation changes. You'll just need to make a quick river crossing via the Alexandra Bridge between the history museum and the rest of your stops. · ⏳ Duration: About 10–11 hours at a leisurely pace, factoring in food breaks. · 🎟 To save some cash, grab the Capital City Pass (it covers Parliament, the Gallery, the Museum of Civilization, and three other federal museums). · 📷 Must-capture shots: The Peace Tower reflecting in the National Gallery's windows, a macro shot of the carved oak in the Library of Parliament, the silhouette of the "Maman" spider against the sunset, and the panoramic skyline from the Macdonald-Cartier Bridge. Fun Fact: Ottawa became the capital purely by chance—Queen Victoria literally pointed a pencil at a map, picking a spot safely tucked away from the US border. Today, this status has gifted the capital with an insane concentration of monuments per square mile, incredibly fresh air thanks to the Greenbelt, and the unique chance to cross the border between the French-speaking and English-speaking worlds on a single walk—without ever needing a passport stamp.

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. ⛪✨

#mytripvlog There are many stairways to heaven cafe in Korea and Orda cafe in Jeju is one of them. The cafe faces the sea and is near Seongsan Ilchulbong mountain.

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.

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.

For family trips, stay near the tea sea guesthouses for a quiet environment and the chance to experience tea garden morning mist, which is more atmospheric than staying in town; 3.

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~

Visiting Lake Louise in July is the true way to experience the romance of the Rockies. The Victoria Glacier melts into turquoise-clear lake water, surrounded by colorful alpine wildflowers. Stroll along the lakeside boardwalk, with red canoes floating on the water and the century-old castle hotel offering an afternoon tea that brings a soothing atmosphere. Snow-capped mountains stretch as far as the eye can see, the mountain breeze carries the fresh scent of grass and trees, and the blend of glacier, lake, and flower fields creates the most unforgettable summer scene of the trip. Travel tips 1. Transportation and parking 1. Parking spaces by the lake fill up before sunrise during the July–August peak season. Shuttle bus reservations must be made online in advance. Self-driving vehicles can only park at outer transfer lots. Without a reservation, you cannot reach the lakeside directly. 2. The shuttle bus has a last departure time. Missing it means no return service. Mountain roads are closed from 8:00 PM to 6:00 AM and are off-limits during that time. 3. Entering Banff National Park requires a separate park pass, which is charged separately from the shuttle bus ticket. 2. Climate and clothing 1. The lake surface is at 1,600 m elevation. Daytime temperatures in July range from 15 to 22 °C, while early mornings and evenings can drop to 0–5 °C. The temperature difference between day and night is significant. Be sure to bring a shell jacket, light down jacket, and windbreaker. 2. Afternoon showers are common in the mountains. Carry rain gear and non-slip hiking shoes. The lakeside trail has many loose stones and is not suitable for sandals. 3. Boat and afternoon tea experience rules 1. Canoes are rented on-site only, no online reservations. Open from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with the last rental at 5:00 PM. The cost is 90 CAD per hour per person, payable on-site only. 2. Window seats for afternoon tea at the Fairmont Castle are recommended to be booked one month in advance during peak season. Visitors not staying at the hotel can also enter to enjoy the lake view. 3. The glacier meltwater is cold year-round. Swimming is prohibited. Only boating and sightseeing are allowed. 4. Wildlife safety 1. Black bears and grizzly bears are common in the lake area and trails. Carry bear spray when hiking. Keep at least 100 m away from all wildlife. Feeding, approaching, or getting out of your vehicle to take photos is strictly prohibited. 2. All snacks and drinks must be sealed and stored properly. Do not leave them loose in backpacks or tents to avoid attracting animals. 5. Ecological protection guidelines 1. Alpine wildflowers are protected vegetation. Picking or trampling the meadows is prohibited. Carry out all trash as there are few large trash bins in the lake area. 2. Private kayaks and paddleboards have water area restrictions. Check park water regulations in advance, as some areas prohibit private watercraft. 6. Communication and supplies Stable signal is only available in hotel areas by the lake. Signal is weak on the lakeside hiking trails. Download offline maps in advance. Prices in the lake area are high, so it is recommended to bring your own drinking water and light meals.

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.

#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

#travelwithfootball As night falls during the FIFA World Cup, the Vancouver Public Library transforms into one of the city’s most striking architectural sights. Illuminated against the downtown skyline, its glowing curves and modern design create a dramatic contrast with the surrounding city lights. Visitors walking through the area in the evening can enjoy the vibrant urban atmosphere while admiring the library’s illuminated structure from outside. It becomes a peaceful yet impressive landmark at night, offering a memorable moment of calm and beauty amid the excitement of World Cup celebrations.

Ottawa is often dubbed a quiet, straight-laced capital, but that's just a first impression. In a single day, you can do it all: attend a parliamentary session (even if just virtually), stroll along a UNESCO World Heritage site, marvel at Louise Bourgeois’ giant spider sculpture, and dig into the best poutine in the country. The city sits right on the border of two provinces and cultures—English-speaking Ontario and French-speaking Quebec—a blend you can feel in the architecture, bilingual signs, and local food scene. ☀️ 9:00 AM — Parliament Hill Start at the main attraction. Even if you aren't a politics buff, the sheer scale of this Victorian Gothic masterpiece is awe-inspiring. Climb the wide steps of the Centre Block and check out the monuments to queens and the "Famous Five" feminists. In the summer, exactly at 9:45 AM, the Changing of the Guard kicks off—a vibrant spectacle featuring red tunics and bearskin hats. 🏛 10:30 AM — Peace Tower Grab a ticket for the tower's observation deck right inside the Parliament building (during peak season, it’s best to get there right at opening). From 300 feet (92 meters) up, you get picture-perfect views of the Rideau Canal, the French-speaking city of Gatineau across the water, and the winding Ottawa River. 🌊 11:30 AM — Ottawa Locks Head down to the waterfront. Built by Irish laborers in the 19th century, this historic waterway connects Lake Ontario to the Ottawa River. During the summer, cruise boats glide through here, while in the winter, the city turns it into the world's longest naturally frozen skating rink, stretching almost 5 miles (8 kilometers). 🥐 1:00 PM — Lunch at ByWard Market The historic belly of the city. It’s loud, crowded, and incredibly delicious. Grab some iconic street food to go: a classic BeaverTails pastry (fried dough coated in cinnamon sugar), a piping hot bowl of poutine loaded with cheese curds and gravy, or a mouthwatering Quebec-style smoked meat sandwich. ⚜ 2:30 PM — Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica Tucked away behind government buildings, this cathedral will blow you away from the inside. Its ceiling is adorned with gold maple leaves, and the walls are painted a deep, mesmerizing blue. It's the most photographed church in Canada, and with its dramatic lighting, it looks straight out of a historical movie set. 🕸 3:30 PM — National Gallery of Canada and the "Maman" Sculpture Cross the bridge over the Rideau Canal. Right at the gallery's entrance, you'll be greeted by a 30-foot (9-meter) bronze spider. Inside, you'll find the largest collection of paintings by Canada's "Group of Seven," Indigenous totem poles, and halls filled with European art. The glass and pink granite building itself is considered a masterpiece of modern architecture. 🔭 5:00 PM — Canadian Museum of History Take a quick, free NCC shuttle bus or a cab across the river into Quebec (Gatineau). It's the most visited museum in the country. Forget boring display cases—here you'll find massive forest dioramas, authentic Viking canoes, and a life-size recreation of a street in Old Montreal. The top floor features a panoramic cafe with the absolute best view of the Parliament complex across the water. 🌇 6:30 PM — Major's Hill Park Head back into Ontario and walk up to the park overlooking the locks. Locals flock here with blankets and coffees. It’s the ultimate spot to catch the sunset: the sun dips right behind the Parliament spires, reflecting off the glass skyscrapers downtown. 💡 Good to Know: · 📍 Starting point for your taxi/rideshare: 111 Wellington St, Parliament Hill. · 🚶 The route is entirely walkable with minimal elevation changes. You'll just need to make a quick river crossing via the Alexandra Bridge between the history museum and the rest of your stops. · ⏳ Duration: About 10–11 hours at a leisurely pace, factoring in food breaks. · 🎟 To save some cash, grab the Capital City Pass (it covers Parliament, the Gallery, the Museum of Civilization, and three other federal museums). · 📷 Must-capture shots: The Peace Tower reflecting in the National Gallery's windows, a macro shot of the carved oak in the Library of Parliament, the silhouette of the "Maman" spider against the sunset, and the panoramic skyline from the Macdonald-Cartier Bridge. Fun Fact: Ottawa became the capital purely by chance—Queen Victoria literally pointed a pencil at a map, picking a spot safely tucked away from the US border. Today, this status has gifted the capital with an insane concentration of monuments per square mile, incredibly fresh air thanks to the Greenbelt, and the unique chance to cross the border between the French-speaking and English-speaking worlds on a single walk—without ever needing a passport stamp.

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. ⛪✨

#mytripvlog There are many stairways to heaven cafe in Korea and Orda cafe in Jeju is one of them. The cafe faces the sea and is near Seongsan Ilchulbong mountain.

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.

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.

Kids can play on the viewing platform with wide-open views of the tea sea, perfect for healing photos. ✅ Practical tips: Tea café prices are affordable, around 30+ RMB per person; the viewing platform has railings, parents just need to supervise; if you want to bring tea home, both the guesthouse and tea café sell it at better prices than souvenir shops. 💡 Overall travel tips 1. Distances between Suichang attractions are not far; self-driving is most convenient, with all drives within 30 minutes from the city center and good road conditions; 2. For family trips, stay near the tea sea guesthouses for a quiet environment and the chance to experience tea garden morning mist, which is more atmospheric than staying in town; 3.

A spectacular sight you can’t miss! 💦✨ #voyagevibes #niagarafalls #ontario #canada

Just had an epic 4-day road trip to Ottawa and Northumberland County—think iconic city signs, rainy street vibes, and the quirkiest coin monument you’ll ever see 😎☔️ Top Spots to Visit: 1. Ottawa Sign & ByWard Market (6 York St, Ottawa): Hit up the famous Ottawa letters for that classic pic (yes, even if it’s cloudy, it’s iconic)—the market’s perfect for grabbing local eats and artisan finds. 2. Notre Dame Cathedral Basilica (385 Sussex Dr, Ottawa): Soak in history and the gorgeous architecture any day from 9–7 weekends, 9–6 weekdays. 3. Parliament Hill & Centennial Flame (Wellington St, Ottawa): Parliament Hill’s stately vibes give you classic Canada feels (open 9–16:30 on weekdays and 9–17:30 weekends in spring; goes longer in summer). Walk over to snap the ever-burning Centennial Flame just outside—open all day! 4. National Gallery of Canada: If culture’s your thing, you won’t want to miss the art scene here. My key travel tips: Pack a rain jacket—Ottawa’s weather flips quick in April! Get early to popular sites or snap pics during cloudy days for cool, moody architecture shots. ByWard Market is great for bites and budget eats. Don’t bother with heavy parking—park once and walk the core, or use Ottawa’s easy public transport. How to Get Around: Park near ByWard Market for easy walking to all central sites. Ottawa’s bike rentals and OC Transpo buses are solid for city exploring. Food Musts: Try BeaverTails (a local pastry) at ByWard Market and browse market food stalls for cheap, tasty lunches. Quick Tips: No visa needed if you’re Canadian; weather’s rainy in spring—pack layers. Most attractions are free or low-cost. Canada uses CAD cash or cards everywhere. #ottawavibes #roadtripcanada #traveltips #rainydayexplores #bywardeatsGiant Toonie (55 Grand Rd , Campbellford): Swing out to Northumberland County for Canada’s biggest $2 coin!

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~

Visiting Lake Louise in July is the true way to experience the romance of the Rockies. The Victoria Glacier melts into turquoise-clear lake water, surrounded by colorful alpine wildflowers. Stroll along the lakeside boardwalk, with red canoes floating on the water and the century-old castle hotel offering an afternoon tea that brings a soothing atmosphere. Snow-capped mountains stretch as far as the eye can see, the mountain breeze carries the fresh scent of grass and trees, and the blend of glacier, lake, and flower fields creates the most unforgettable summer scene of the trip. Travel tips 1. Transportation and parking 1. Parking spaces by the lake fill up before sunrise during the July–August peak season. Shuttle bus reservations must be made online in advance. Self-driving vehicles can only park at outer transfer lots. Without a reservation, you cannot reach the lakeside directly. 2. The shuttle bus has a last departure time. Missing it means no return service. Mountain roads are closed from 8:00 PM to 6:00 AM and are off-limits during that time. 3. Entering Banff National Park requires a separate park pass, which is charged separately from the shuttle bus ticket. 2. Climate and clothing 1. The lake surface is at 1,600 m elevation. Daytime temperatures in July range from 15 to 22 °C, while early mornings and evenings can drop to 0–5 °C. The temperature difference between day and night is significant. Be sure to bring a shell jacket, light down jacket, and windbreaker. 2. Afternoon showers are common in the mountains. Carry rain gear and non-slip hiking shoes. The lakeside trail has many loose stones and is not suitable for sandals. 3. Boat and afternoon tea experience rules 1. Canoes are rented on-site only, no online reservations. Open from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with the last rental at 5:00 PM. The cost is 90 CAD per hour per person, payable on-site only. 2. Window seats for afternoon tea at the Fairmont Castle are recommended to be booked one month in advance during peak season. Visitors not staying at the hotel can also enter to enjoy the lake view. 3. The glacier meltwater is cold year-round. Swimming is prohibited. Only boating and sightseeing are allowed. 4. Wildlife safety 1. Black bears and grizzly bears are common in the lake area and trails. Carry bear spray when hiking. Keep at least 100 m away from all wildlife. Feeding, approaching, or getting out of your vehicle to take photos is strictly prohibited. 2. All snacks and drinks must be sealed and stored properly. Do not leave them loose in backpacks or tents to avoid attracting animals. 5. Ecological protection guidelines 1. Alpine wildflowers are protected vegetation. Picking or trampling the meadows is prohibited. Carry out all trash as there are few large trash bins in the lake area. 2. Private kayaks and paddleboards have water area restrictions. Check park water regulations in advance, as some areas prohibit private watercraft. 6. Communication and supplies Stable signal is only available in hotel areas by the lake. Signal is weak on the lakeside hiking trails. Download offline maps in advance. Prices in the lake area are high, so it is recommended to bring your own drinking water and light meals.

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.

The restaurants had a very welcoming and family-friendly atmosphere, allowing us to dine comfortably without any hassle. Getting around was incredibly easy, even with a stroller, and thanks to the convenient public transit system, our whole family could travel safely and comfortably to anywhere we wanted to go. In particular, the hotel we stayed at was outstanding in accommodating family travelers. At check-in, they had little gifts ready for the kids and gave us a spacious room, so we never felt cramped sharing the space. The beds were large enough for the adults to relax, and they provided cozy extra bedding for the kids, ensuring we all got a great night's sleep. They even left some simple activity books in the room so the kids wouldn't get bored, and the staff was always incredibly friendly and helpful whenever we needed anything, making sure we didn't face a single inconvenience during our stay.

#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

#travelwithfootball As night falls during the FIFA World Cup, the Vancouver Public Library transforms into one of the city’s most striking architectural sights. Illuminated against the downtown skyline, its glowing curves and modern design create a dramatic contrast with the surrounding city lights. Visitors walking through the area in the evening can enjoy the vibrant urban atmosphere while admiring the library’s illuminated structure from outside. It becomes a peaceful yet impressive landmark at night, offering a memorable moment of calm and beauty amid the excitement of World Cup celebrations.

Ottawa is often dubbed a quiet, straight-laced capital, but that's just a first impression. In a single day, you can do it all: attend a parliamentary session (even if just virtually), stroll along a UNESCO World Heritage site, marvel at Louise Bourgeois’ giant spider sculpture, and dig into the best poutine in the country. The city sits right on the border of two provinces and cultures—English-speaking Ontario and French-speaking Quebec—a blend you can feel in the architecture, bilingual signs, and local food scene. ☀️ 9:00 AM — Parliament Hill Start at the main attraction. Even if you aren't a politics buff, the sheer scale of this Victorian Gothic masterpiece is awe-inspiring. Climb the wide steps of the Centre Block and check out the monuments to queens and the "Famous Five" feminists. In the summer, exactly at 9:45 AM, the Changing of the Guard kicks off—a vibrant spectacle featuring red tunics and bearskin hats. 🏛 10:30 AM — Peace Tower Grab a ticket for the tower's observation deck right inside the Parliament building (during peak season, it’s best to get there right at opening). From 300 feet (92 meters) up, you get picture-perfect views of the Rideau Canal, the French-speaking city of Gatineau across the water, and the winding Ottawa River. 🌊 11:30 AM — Ottawa Locks Head down to the waterfront. Built by Irish laborers in the 19th century, this historic waterway connects Lake Ontario to the Ottawa River. During the summer, cruise boats glide through here, while in the winter, the city turns it into the world's longest naturally frozen skating rink, stretching almost 5 miles (8 kilometers). 🥐 1:00 PM — Lunch at ByWard Market The historic belly of the city. It’s loud, crowded, and incredibly delicious. Grab some iconic street food to go: a classic BeaverTails pastry (fried dough coated in cinnamon sugar), a piping hot bowl of poutine loaded with cheese curds and gravy, or a mouthwatering Quebec-style smoked meat sandwich. ⚜ 2:30 PM — Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica Tucked away behind government buildings, this cathedral will blow you away from the inside. Its ceiling is adorned with gold maple leaves, and the walls are painted a deep, mesmerizing blue. It's the most photographed church in Canada, and with its dramatic lighting, it looks straight out of a historical movie set. 🕸 3:30 PM — National Gallery of Canada and the "Maman" Sculpture Cross the bridge over the Rideau Canal. Right at the gallery's entrance, you'll be greeted by a 30-foot (9-meter) bronze spider. Inside, you'll find the largest collection of paintings by Canada's "Group of Seven," Indigenous totem poles, and halls filled with European art. The glass and pink granite building itself is considered a masterpiece of modern architecture. 🔭 5:00 PM — Canadian Museum of History Take a quick, free NCC shuttle bus or a cab across the river into Quebec (Gatineau). It's the most visited museum in the country. Forget boring display cases—here you'll find massive forest dioramas, authentic Viking canoes, and a life-size recreation of a street in Old Montreal. The top floor features a panoramic cafe with the absolute best view of the Parliament complex across the water. 🌇 6:30 PM — Major's Hill Park Head back into Ontario and walk up to the park overlooking the locks. Locals flock here with blankets and coffees. It’s the ultimate spot to catch the sunset: the sun dips right behind the Parliament spires, reflecting off the glass skyscrapers downtown. 💡 Good to Know: · 📍 Starting point for your taxi/rideshare: 111 Wellington St, Parliament Hill. · 🚶 The route is entirely walkable with minimal elevation changes. You'll just need to make a quick river crossing via the Alexandra Bridge between the history museum and the rest of your stops. · ⏳ Duration: About 10–11 hours at a leisurely pace, factoring in food breaks. · 🎟 To save some cash, grab the Capital City Pass (it covers Parliament, the Gallery, the Museum of Civilization, and three other federal museums). · 📷 Must-capture shots: The Peace Tower reflecting in the National Gallery's windows, a macro shot of the carved oak in the Library of Parliament, the silhouette of the "Maman" spider against the sunset, and the panoramic skyline from the Macdonald-Cartier Bridge. Fun Fact: Ottawa became the capital purely by chance—Queen Victoria literally pointed a pencil at a map, picking a spot safely tucked away from the US border. Today, this status has gifted the capital with an insane concentration of monuments per square mile, incredibly fresh air thanks to the Greenbelt, and the unique chance to cross the border between the French-speaking and English-speaking worlds on a single walk—without ever needing a passport stamp.

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. ⛪✨

#mytripvlog There are many stairways to heaven cafe in Korea and Orda cafe in Jeju is one of them. The cafe faces the sea and is near Seongsan Ilchulbong mountain. Shades and seats are provided for customers outdoor and there also aerial view on the second floor where we sat. There are various drinks and buns sold in the cafe.

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.

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.

Day 2: Slow countryside life in the ten-thousand-mu tea sea ▪️ Leling · Ten Thousand Mu Tea Sea: This is Suichang’s hidden ace! Staying at a guesthouse on the tea mountain, waking up to the scent of tea in the morning is pure bliss~ Borrow a family bike from the guesthouse and cycle along the tea garden paths, surrounded by lush green tea trees and fresh air that makes you want to take deep breaths. ✅ Practical tips: Guesthouse bikes are limited, book in advance when checking in; some tea garden paths have gentle slopes, electric-assist bikes are recommended for young kids; wear comfortable sneakers and be sure to apply sunscreen (UV rays are strong in the tea garden). ▪️ Tea café experience: After cycling, relax at the tea café on the hilltop, order a cup of freshly brewed local tea or tea latte, which is rich and smooth, paired with snacks for a cozy time. Kids can play on the viewing platform with wide-open views of the tea sea, perfect for healing photos. ✅ Practical tips: Tea café prices are affordable, around 30+ RMB per person; the viewing platform has railings, parents just need to supervise; if you want to bring tea home, both the guesthouse and tea café sell it at better prices than souvenir shops. 💡 Overall travel tips 1. Distances between Suichang attractions are not far; self-driving is most convenient, with all drives within 30 minutes from the city center and good road conditions; 2. For family trips, stay near the tea sea guesthouses for a quiet environment and the chance to experience tea garden morning mist, which is more atmospheric than staying in town; 3. Local dishes tend to be fresh and not very spicy; ask the restaurant to reduce salt and spice in advance so kids can eat safely; 4. Mountain areas have big temperature differences between morning and night, remember to bring a light jacket for the kids to avoid catching a cold. Suichang is truly one of those places where you don’t want to leave once you arrive. It has the poetry of Jiangnan and the rustic charm of the countryside. Kids have fun, adults can relax, and on the way back, the kids kept shouting they want to come again~

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

Just had an epic 4-day road trip to Ottawa and Northumberland County—think iconic city signs, rainy street vibes, and the quirkiest coin monument you’ll ever see 😎☔️ Top Spots to Visit: 1.

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~

Visiting Lake Louise in July is the true way to experience the romance of the Rockies. The Victoria Glacier melts into turquoise-clear lake water, surrounded by colorful alpine wildflowers. Stroll along the lakeside boardwalk, with red canoes floating on the water and the century-old castle hotel offering an afternoon tea that brings a soothing atmosphere. Snow-capped mountains stretch as far as the eye can see, the mountain breeze carries the fresh scent of grass and trees, and the blend of glacier, lake, and flower fields creates the most unforgettable summer scene of the trip. Travel tips 1. Transportation and parking 1. Parking spaces by the lake fill up before sunrise during the July–August peak season. Shuttle bus reservations must be made online in advance. Self-driving vehicles can only park at outer transfer lots. Without a reservation, you cannot reach the lakeside directly. 2. The shuttle bus has a last departure time. Missing it means no return service. Mountain roads are closed from 8:00 PM to 6:00 AM and are off-limits during that time. 3. Entering Banff National Park requires a separate park pass, which is charged separately from the shuttle bus ticket. 2. Climate and clothing 1. The lake surface is at 1,600 m elevation. Daytime temperatures in July range from 15 to 22 °C, while early mornings and evenings can drop to 0–5 °C. The temperature difference between day and night is significant. Be sure to bring a shell jacket, light down jacket, and windbreaker. 2. Afternoon showers are common in the mountains. Carry rain gear and non-slip hiking shoes. The lakeside trail has many loose stones and is not suitable for sandals. 3. Boat and afternoon tea experience rules 1. Canoes are rented on-site only, no online reservations. Open from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with the last rental at 5:00 PM. The cost is 90 CAD per hour per person, payable on-site only. 2. Window seats for afternoon tea at the Fairmont Castle are recommended to be booked one month in advance during peak season. Visitors not staying at the hotel can also enter to enjoy the lake view. 3. The glacier meltwater is cold year-round. Swimming is prohibited. Only boating and sightseeing are allowed. 4. Wildlife safety 1. Black bears and grizzly bears are common in the lake area and trails. Carry bear spray when hiking. Keep at least 100 m away from all wildlife. Feeding, approaching, or getting out of your vehicle to take photos is strictly prohibited. 2. All snacks and drinks must be sealed and stored properly. Do not leave them loose in backpacks or tents to avoid attracting animals. 5. Ecological protection guidelines 1. Alpine wildflowers are protected vegetation. Picking or trampling the meadows is prohibited. Carry out all trash as there are few large trash bins in the lake area. 2. Private kayaks and paddleboards have water area restrictions. Check park water regulations in advance, as some areas prohibit private watercraft. 6. Communication and supplies Stable signal is only available in hotel areas by the lake. Signal is weak on the lakeside hiking trails. Download offline maps in advance. Prices in the lake area are high, so it is recommended to bring your own drinking water and light meals.

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.

#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

#travelwithfootball As night falls during the FIFA World Cup, the Vancouver Public Library transforms into one of the city’s most striking architectural sights. Illuminated against the downtown skyline, its glowing curves and modern design create a dramatic contrast with the surrounding city lights. Visitors walking through the area in the evening can enjoy the vibrant urban atmosphere while admiring the library’s illuminated structure from outside. It becomes a peaceful yet impressive landmark at night, offering a memorable moment of calm and beauty amid the excitement of World Cup celebrations.

Ottawa is often dubbed a quiet, straight-laced capital, but that's just a first impression. In a single day, you can do it all: attend a parliamentary session (even if just virtually), stroll along a UNESCO World Heritage site, marvel at Louise Bourgeois’ giant spider sculpture, and dig into the best poutine in the country. The city sits right on the border of two provinces and cultures—English-speaking Ontario and French-speaking Quebec—a blend you can feel in the architecture, bilingual signs, and local food scene. ☀️ 9:00 AM — Parliament Hill Start at the main attraction. Even if you aren't a politics buff, the sheer scale of this Victorian Gothic masterpiece is awe-inspiring. Climb the wide steps of the Centre Block and check out the monuments to queens and the "Famous Five" feminists. In the summer, exactly at 9:45 AM, the Changing of the Guard kicks off—a vibrant spectacle featuring red tunics and bearskin hats. 🏛 10:30 AM — Peace Tower Grab a ticket for the tower's observation deck right inside the Parliament building (during peak season, it’s best to get there right at opening). From 300 feet (92 meters) up, you get picture-perfect views of the Rideau Canal, the French-speaking city of Gatineau across the water, and the winding Ottawa River. 🌊 11:30 AM — Ottawa Locks Head down to the waterfront. Built by Irish laborers in the 19th century, this historic waterway connects Lake Ontario to the Ottawa River. During the summer, cruise boats glide through here, while in the winter, the city turns it into the world's longest naturally frozen skating rink, stretching almost 5 miles (8 kilometers). 🥐 1:00 PM — Lunch at ByWard Market The historic belly of the city. It’s loud, crowded, and incredibly delicious. Grab some iconic street food to go: a classic BeaverTails pastry (fried dough coated in cinnamon sugar), a piping hot bowl of poutine loaded with cheese curds and gravy, or a mouthwatering Quebec-style smoked meat sandwich. ⚜ 2:30 PM — Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica Tucked away behind government buildings, this cathedral will blow you away from the inside. Its ceiling is adorned with gold maple leaves, and the walls are painted a deep, mesmerizing blue. It's the most photographed church in Canada, and with its dramatic lighting, it looks straight out of a historical movie set. 🕸 3:30 PM — National Gallery of Canada and the "Maman" Sculpture Cross the bridge over the Rideau Canal. Right at the gallery's entrance, you'll be greeted by a 30-foot (9-meter) bronze spider. Inside, you'll find the largest collection of paintings by Canada's "Group of Seven," Indigenous totem poles, and halls filled with European art. The glass and pink granite building itself is considered a masterpiece of modern architecture. 🔭 5:00 PM — Canadian Museum of History Take a quick, free NCC shuttle bus or a cab across the river into Quebec (Gatineau). It's the most visited museum in the country. Forget boring display cases—here you'll find massive forest dioramas, authentic Viking canoes, and a life-size recreation of a street in Old Montreal. The top floor features a panoramic cafe with the absolute best view of the Parliament complex across the water. 🌇 6:30 PM — Major's Hill Park Head back into Ontario and walk up to the park overlooking the locks. Locals flock here with blankets and coffees. It’s the ultimate spot to catch the sunset: the sun dips right behind the Parliament spires, reflecting off the glass skyscrapers downtown. 💡 Good to Know: · 📍 Starting point for your taxi/rideshare: 111 Wellington St, Parliament Hill. · 🚶 The route is entirely walkable with minimal elevation changes. You'll just need to make a quick river crossing via the Alexandra Bridge between the history museum and the rest of your stops. · ⏳ Duration: About 10–11 hours at a leisurely pace, factoring in food breaks. · 🎟 To save some cash, grab the Capital City Pass (it covers Parliament, the Gallery, the Museum of Civilization, and three other federal museums). · 📷 Must-capture shots: The Peace Tower reflecting in the National Gallery's windows, a macro shot of the carved oak in the Library of Parliament, the silhouette of the "Maman" spider against the sunset, and the panoramic skyline from the Macdonald-Cartier Bridge. Fun Fact: Ottawa became the capital purely by chance—Queen Victoria literally pointed a pencil at a map, picking a spot safely tucked away from the US border. Today, this status has gifted the capital with an insane concentration of monuments per square mile, incredibly fresh air thanks to the Greenbelt, and the unique chance to cross the border between the French-speaking and English-speaking worlds on a single walk—without ever needing a passport stamp.

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. ⛪✨

#mytripvlog There are many stairways to heaven cafe in Korea and Orda cafe in Jeju is one of them. The cafe faces the sea and is near Seongsan Ilchulbong mountain.

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.

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 museum uses interactive installations and real exhibits to introduce Suichang’s intangible heritage like bamboo weaving, black pottery, Kunqu opera, etc. Kids can touch exhibits and scan QR codes to listen to heritage stories. ✅ Practical tips: There are free family check-in tasks inside, with small gifts upon completion; remember to turn off flash when taking photos to protect artifacts; keep the visit under 1.5 hours to maintain kids’ attention. ▪️ Guan Ju Cultural Park: Ideal to visit at dusk, the garden is stunning in the sunset! Pavilions, bridges, and flowing water create scenes like stepping into an ancient garden. ✅ Practical tips: The park is free to enter; evening light is soft and great for photos without backlight; there’s a small pond, so watch the kids closely to keep them away from the water; the park is small, a leisurely 1-hour stroll is enough, no need to rush. Day 2: Slow countryside life in the ten-thousand-mu tea sea ▪️ Leling · Ten Thousand Mu Tea Sea: This is Suichang’s hidden ace! Staying at a guesthouse on the tea mountain, waking up to the scent of tea in the morning is pure bliss~ Borrow a family bike from the guesthouse and cycle along the tea garden paths, surrounded by lush green tea trees and fresh air that makes you want to take deep breaths. ✅ Practical tips: Guesthouse bikes are limited, book in advance when checking in; some tea garden paths have gentle slopes, electric-assist bikes are recommended for young kids; wear comfortable sneakers and be sure to apply sunscreen (UV rays are strong in the tea garden). ▪️ Tea café experience: After cycling, relax at the tea café on the hilltop, order a cup of freshly brewed local tea or tea latte, which is rich and smooth, paired with snacks for a cozy time. Kids can play on the viewing platform with wide-open views of the tea sea, perfect for healing photos. ✅ Practical tips: Tea café prices are affordable, around 30+ RMB per person; the viewing platform has railings, parents just need to supervise; if you want to bring tea home, both the guesthouse and tea café sell it at better prices than souvenir shops. 💡 Overall travel tips 1. Distances between Suichang attractions are not far; self-driving is most convenient, with all drives within 30 minutes from the city center and good road conditions; 2. For family trips, stay near the tea sea guesthouses for a quiet environment and the chance to experience tea garden morning mist, which is more atmospheric than staying in town; 3. Local dishes tend to be fresh and not very spicy; ask the restaurant to reduce salt and spice in advance so kids can eat safely; 4. Mountain areas have big temperature differences between morning and night, remember to bring a light jacket for the kids to avoid catching a cold. Suichang is truly one of those places where you don’t want to leave once you arrive. It has the poetry of Jiangnan and the rustic charm of the countryside. Kids have fun, adults can relax, and on the way back, the kids kept shouting they want to come again~

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

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~

Visiting Lake Louise in July is the true way to experience the romance of the Rockies. The Victoria Glacier melts into turquoise-clear lake water, surrounded by colorful alpine wildflowers. Stroll along the lakeside boardwalk, with red canoes floating on the water and the century-old castle hotel offering an afternoon tea that brings a soothing atmosphere. Snow-capped mountains stretch as far as the eye can see, the mountain breeze carries the fresh scent of grass and trees, and the blend of glacier, lake, and flower fields creates the most unforgettable summer scene of the trip. Travel tips 1. Transportation and parking 1. Parking spaces by the lake fill up before sunrise during the July–August peak season. Shuttle bus reservations must be made online in advance. Self-driving vehicles can only park at outer transfer lots. Without a reservation, you cannot reach the lakeside directly. 2. The shuttle bus has a last departure time. Missing it means no return service. Mountain roads are closed from 8:00 PM to 6:00 AM and are off-limits during that time. 3. Entering Banff National Park requires a separate park pass, which is charged separately from the shuttle bus ticket. 2. Climate and clothing 1. The lake surface is at 1,600 m elevation. Daytime temperatures in July range from 15 to 22 °C, while early mornings and evenings can drop to 0–5 °C. The temperature difference between day and night is significant. Be sure to bring a shell jacket, light down jacket, and windbreaker. 2. Afternoon showers are common in the mountains. Carry rain gear and non-slip hiking shoes. The lakeside trail has many loose stones and is not suitable for sandals. 3. Boat and afternoon tea experience rules 1. Canoes are rented on-site only, no online reservations. Open from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with the last rental at 5:00 PM. The cost is 90 CAD per hour per person, payable on-site only. 2. Window seats for afternoon tea at the Fairmont Castle are recommended to be booked one month in advance during peak season. Visitors not staying at the hotel can also enter to enjoy the lake view. 3. The glacier meltwater is cold year-round. Swimming is prohibited. Only boating and sightseeing are allowed. 4. Wildlife safety 1. Black bears and grizzly bears are common in the lake area and trails. Carry bear spray when hiking. Keep at least 100 m away from all wildlife. Feeding, approaching, or getting out of your vehicle to take photos is strictly prohibited. 2. All snacks and drinks must be sealed and stored properly. Do not leave them loose in backpacks or tents to avoid attracting animals. 5. Ecological protection guidelines 1. Alpine wildflowers are protected vegetation. Picking or trampling the meadows is prohibited. Carry out all trash as there are few large trash bins in the lake area. 2. Private kayaks and paddleboards have water area restrictions. Check park water regulations in advance, as some areas prohibit private watercraft. 6. Communication and supplies Stable signal is only available in hotel areas by the lake. Signal is weak on the lakeside hiking trails. Download offline maps in advance. Prices in the lake area are high, so it is recommended to bring your own drinking water and light meals.

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.

#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

#travelwithfootball As night falls during the FIFA World Cup, the Vancouver Public Library transforms into one of the city’s most striking architectural sights. Illuminated against the downtown skyline, its glowing curves and modern design create a dramatic contrast with the surrounding city lights. Visitors walking through the area in the evening can enjoy the vibrant urban atmosphere while admiring the library’s illuminated structure from outside. It becomes a peaceful yet impressive landmark at night, offering a memorable moment of calm and beauty amid the excitement of World Cup celebrations.

Ottawa is often dubbed a quiet, straight-laced capital, but that's just a first impression. In a single day, you can do it all: attend a parliamentary session (even if just virtually), stroll along a UNESCO World Heritage site, marvel at Louise Bourgeois’ giant spider sculpture, and dig into the best poutine in the country. The city sits right on the border of two provinces and cultures—English-speaking Ontario and French-speaking Quebec—a blend you can feel in the architecture, bilingual signs, and local food scene. ☀️ 9:00 AM — Parliament Hill Start at the main attraction. Even if you aren't a politics buff, the sheer scale of this Victorian Gothic masterpiece is awe-inspiring. Climb the wide steps of the Centre Block and check out the monuments to queens and the "Famous Five" feminists. In the summer, exactly at 9:45 AM, the Changing of the Guard kicks off—a vibrant spectacle featuring red tunics and bearskin hats. 🏛 10:30 AM — Peace Tower Grab a ticket for the tower's observation deck right inside the Parliament building (during peak season, it’s best to get there right at opening). From 300 feet (92 meters) up, you get picture-perfect views of the Rideau Canal, the French-speaking city of Gatineau across the water, and the winding Ottawa River. 🌊 11:30 AM — Ottawa Locks Head down to the waterfront. Built by Irish laborers in the 19th century, this historic waterway connects Lake Ontario to the Ottawa River. During the summer, cruise boats glide through here, while in the winter, the city turns it into the world's longest naturally frozen skating rink, stretching almost 5 miles (8 kilometers). 🥐 1:00 PM — Lunch at ByWard Market The historic belly of the city. It’s loud, crowded, and incredibly delicious. Grab some iconic street food to go: a classic BeaverTails pastry (fried dough coated in cinnamon sugar), a piping hot bowl of poutine loaded with cheese curds and gravy, or a mouthwatering Quebec-style smoked meat sandwich. ⚜ 2:30 PM — Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica Tucked away behind government buildings, this cathedral will blow you away from the inside. Its ceiling is adorned with gold maple leaves, and the walls are painted a deep, mesmerizing blue. It's the most photographed church in Canada, and with its dramatic lighting, it looks straight out of a historical movie set. 🕸 3:30 PM — National Gallery of Canada and the "Maman" Sculpture Cross the bridge over the Rideau Canal. Right at the gallery's entrance, you'll be greeted by a 30-foot (9-meter) bronze spider. Inside, you'll find the largest collection of paintings by Canada's "Group of Seven," Indigenous totem poles, and halls filled with European art. The glass and pink granite building itself is considered a masterpiece of modern architecture. 🔭 5:00 PM — Canadian Museum of History Take a quick, free NCC shuttle bus or a cab across the river into Quebec (Gatineau). It's the most visited museum in the country. Forget boring display cases—here you'll find massive forest dioramas, authentic Viking canoes, and a life-size recreation of a street in Old Montreal. The top floor features a panoramic cafe with the absolute best view of the Parliament complex across the water. 🌇 6:30 PM — Major's Hill Park Head back into Ontario and walk up to the park overlooking the locks. Locals flock here with blankets and coffees. It’s the ultimate spot to catch the sunset: the sun dips right behind the Parliament spires, reflecting off the glass skyscrapers downtown. 💡 Good to Know: · 📍 Starting point for your taxi/rideshare: 111 Wellington St, Parliament Hill. · 🚶 The route is entirely walkable with minimal elevation changes. You'll just need to make a quick river crossing via the Alexandra Bridge between the history museum and the rest of your stops. · ⏳ Duration: About 10–11 hours at a leisurely pace, factoring in food breaks. · 🎟 To save some cash, grab the Capital City Pass (it covers Parliament, the Gallery, the Museum of Civilization, and three other federal museums). · 📷 Must-capture shots: The Peace Tower reflecting in the National Gallery's windows, a macro shot of the carved oak in the Library of Parliament, the silhouette of the "Maman" spider against the sunset, and the panoramic skyline from the Macdonald-Cartier Bridge. Fun Fact: Ottawa became the capital purely by chance—Queen Victoria literally pointed a pencil at a map, picking a spot safely tucked away from the US border. Today, this status has gifted the capital with an insane concentration of monuments per square mile, incredibly fresh air thanks to the Greenbelt, and the unique chance to cross the border between the French-speaking and English-speaking worlds on a single walk—without ever needing a passport stamp.

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. ⛪✨

#mytripvlog There are many stairways to heaven cafe in Korea and Orda cafe in Jeju is one of them. The cafe faces the sea and is near Seongsan Ilchulbong mountain.

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.

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 pace is slow and relaxed, with none of the crowds you find at popular tourist spots. Here’s a tested family-friendly guide that won’t disappoint~ 🚗 Itinerary (2 days 1 night, easy and no rush) Day 1: Tang Xianzu Memorial Hall → Guyun Taoshe (Ancient Charm Pottery Society) → Suichang Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum → Guan Ju Cultural Park Day 2: Leling · Ten Thousand Mu Tea Sea (tea garden cycling + tea café experience) → Return trip ✨ Daily detailed activities + practical family tips Day 1: A healing mix of culture and nature ▪️ Tang Xianzu Memorial Hall: A must-visit cultural landmark of Suichang! The courtyard is deep, with flying eaves and green plants, creating a full ancient atmosphere~ Inside, there’s an exhibition on Tang Xianzu’s life, artifacts related to "The Peony Pavilion," and staff occasionally hum Kunqu opera excerpts, which fascinates the kids. ✅ Practical tips: Closed on Mondays! Be sure to check opening hours in advance; free guided tours are available at fixed times, which help understand the cultural background better; the stone bridge and corridors in the courtyard are perfect for ancient-style photos—dress the kids in light colors for better shots. ▪️ Guyun Taoshe: Very close to the memorial hall, just a 10-minute walk! Take the kids to try handcrafting a wind stove, with teachers guiding step-by-step from kneading clay, shaping, to simple decoration. The whole process takes about an hour. You can choose to have your finished wind stove mailed home as a special Suichang souvenir. ✅ Practical tips: It’s best to book your experience time by phone in advance to avoid wasted trips; pottery making can get clothes dirty, so bring a change of clothes for the kids; shipping takes about 7-10 days, remember to leave your contact info. ▪️ Lunch recommendation: Local restaurants nearby are reliable! We chose a home-style eatery where handmade wontons were incredibly fresh and mild, perfect for kids who ate a big bowl each; we also ordered Suichang fried rice noodles, rich in ingredients and very authentic. ▪️ Suichang Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum: Perfect for an afternoon cultural experience with kids! The museum uses interactive installations and real exhibits to introduce Suichang’s intangible heritage like bamboo weaving, black pottery, Kunqu opera, etc. Kids can touch exhibits and scan QR codes to listen to heritage stories. ✅ Practical tips: There are free family check-in tasks inside, with small gifts upon completion; remember to turn off flash when taking photos to protect artifacts; keep the visit under 1.5 hours to maintain kids’ attention. ▪️ Guan Ju Cultural Park: Ideal to visit at dusk, the garden is stunning in the sunset! Pavilions, bridges, and flowing water create scenes like stepping into an ancient garden. ✅ Practical tips: The park is free to enter; evening light is soft and great for photos without backlight; there’s a small pond, so watch the kids closely to keep them away from the water; the park is small, a leisurely 1-hour stroll is enough, no need to rush. Day 2: Slow countryside life in the ten-thousand-mu tea sea ▪️ Leling · Ten Thousand Mu Tea Sea: This is Suichang’s hidden ace! Staying at a guesthouse on the tea mountain, waking up to the scent of tea in the morning is pure bliss~ Borrow a family bike from the guesthouse and cycle along the tea garden paths, surrounded by lush green tea trees and fresh air that makes you want to take deep breaths. ✅ Practical tips: Guesthouse bikes are limited, book in advance when checking in; some tea garden paths have gentle slopes, electric-assist bikes are recommended for young kids; wear comfortable sneakers and be sure to apply sunscreen (UV rays are strong in the tea garden). ▪️ Tea café experience: After cycling, relax at the tea café on the hilltop, order a cup of freshly brewed local tea or tea latte, which is rich and smooth, paired with snacks for a cozy time. Kids can play on the viewing platform with wide-open views of the tea sea, perfect for healing photos. ✅ Practical tips: Tea café prices are affordable, around 30+ RMB per person; the viewing platform has railings, parents just need to supervise; if you want to bring tea home, both the guesthouse and tea café sell it at better prices than souvenir shops. 💡 Overall travel tips 1. Distances between Suichang attractions are not far; self-driving is most convenient, with all drives within 30 minutes from the city center and good road conditions; 2. For family trips, stay near the tea sea guesthouses for a quiet environment and the chance to experience tea garden morning mist, which is more atmospheric than staying in town; 3. Local dishes tend to be fresh and not very spicy; ask the restaurant to reduce salt and spice in advance so kids can eat safely; 4. Mountain areas have big temperature differences between morning and night, remember to bring a light jacket for the kids to avoid catching a cold. Suichang is truly one of those places where you don’t want to leave once you arrive. It has the poetry of Jiangnan and the rustic charm of the countryside. Kids have fun, adults can relax, and on the way back, the kids kept shouting they want to come again~

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.

Visiting Lake Louise in July is the true way to experience the romance of the Rockies. The Victoria Glacier melts into turquoise-clear lake water, surrounded by colorful alpine wildflowers. Stroll along the lakeside boardwalk, with red canoes floating on the water and the century-old castle hotel offering an afternoon tea that brings a soothing atmosphere. Snow-capped mountains stretch as far as the eye can see, the mountain breeze carries the fresh scent of grass and trees, and the blend of glacier, lake, and flower fields creates the most unforgettable summer scene of the trip. Travel tips 1. Transportation and parking 1. Parking spaces by the lake fill up before sunrise during the July–August peak season. Shuttle bus reservations must be made online in advance. Self-driving vehicles can only park at outer transfer lots. Without a reservation, you cannot reach the lakeside directly. 2. The shuttle bus has a last departure time. Missing it means no return service. Mountain roads are closed from 8:00 PM to 6:00 AM and are off-limits during that time. 3. Entering Banff National Park requires a separate park pass, which is charged separately from the shuttle bus ticket. 2. Climate and clothing 1. The lake surface is at 1,600 m elevation. Daytime temperatures in July range from 15 to 22 °C, while early mornings and evenings can drop to 0–5 °C. The temperature difference between day and night is significant. Be sure to bring a shell jacket, light down jacket, and windbreaker. 2. Afternoon showers are common in the mountains. Carry rain gear and non-slip hiking shoes. The lakeside trail has many loose stones and is not suitable for sandals. 3. Boat and afternoon tea experience rules 1. Canoes are rented on-site only, no online reservations. Open from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with the last rental at 5:00 PM. The cost is 90 CAD per hour per person, payable on-site only. 2. Window seats for afternoon tea at the Fairmont Castle are recommended to be booked one month in advance during peak season. Visitors not staying at the hotel can also enter to enjoy the lake view. 3. The glacier meltwater is cold year-round. Swimming is prohibited. Only boating and sightseeing are allowed. 4. Wildlife safety 1. Black bears and grizzly bears are common in the lake area and trails. Carry bear spray when hiking. Keep at least 100 m away from all wildlife. Feeding, approaching, or getting out of your vehicle to take photos is strictly prohibited. 2. All snacks and drinks must be sealed and stored properly. Do not leave them loose in backpacks or tents to avoid attracting animals. 5. Ecological protection guidelines 1. Alpine wildflowers are protected vegetation. Picking or trampling the meadows is prohibited. Carry out all trash as there are few large trash bins in the lake area. 2. Private kayaks and paddleboards have water area restrictions. Check park water regulations in advance, as some areas prohibit private watercraft. 6. Communication and supplies Stable signal is only available in hotel areas by the lake. Signal is weak on the lakeside hiking trails. Download offline maps in advance. Prices in the lake area are high, so it is recommended to bring your own drinking water and light meals.

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.

#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

#travelwithfootball As night falls during the FIFA World Cup, the Vancouver Public Library transforms into one of the city’s most striking architectural sights. Illuminated against the downtown skyline, its glowing curves and modern design create a dramatic contrast with the surrounding city lights. Visitors walking through the area in the evening can enjoy the vibrant urban atmosphere while admiring the library’s illuminated structure from outside. It becomes a peaceful yet impressive landmark at night, offering a memorable moment of calm and beauty amid the excitement of World Cup celebrations.

Ottawa is often dubbed a quiet, straight-laced capital, but that's just a first impression. In a single day, you can do it all: attend a parliamentary session (even if just virtually), stroll along a UNESCO World Heritage site, marvel at Louise Bourgeois’ giant spider sculpture, and dig into the best poutine in the country. The city sits right on the border of two provinces and cultures—English-speaking Ontario and French-speaking Quebec—a blend you can feel in the architecture, bilingual signs, and local food scene. ☀️ 9:00 AM — Parliament Hill Start at the main attraction. Even if you aren't a politics buff, the sheer scale of this Victorian Gothic masterpiece is awe-inspiring. Climb the wide steps of the Centre Block and check out the monuments to queens and the "Famous Five" feminists. In the summer, exactly at 9:45 AM, the Changing of the Guard kicks off—a vibrant spectacle featuring red tunics and bearskin hats. 🏛 10:30 AM — Peace Tower Grab a ticket for the tower's observation deck right inside the Parliament building (during peak season, it’s best to get there right at opening). From 300 feet (92 meters) up, you get picture-perfect views of the Rideau Canal, the French-speaking city of Gatineau across the water, and the winding Ottawa River. 🌊 11:30 AM — Ottawa Locks Head down to the waterfront. Built by Irish laborers in the 19th century, this historic waterway connects Lake Ontario to the Ottawa River. During the summer, cruise boats glide through here, while in the winter, the city turns it into the world's longest naturally frozen skating rink, stretching almost 5 miles (8 kilometers). 🥐 1:00 PM — Lunch at ByWard Market The historic belly of the city. It’s loud, crowded, and incredibly delicious. Grab some iconic street food to go: a classic BeaverTails pastry (fried dough coated in cinnamon sugar), a piping hot bowl of poutine loaded with cheese curds and gravy, or a mouthwatering Quebec-style smoked meat sandwich. ⚜ 2:30 PM — Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica Tucked away behind government buildings, this cathedral will blow you away from the inside. Its ceiling is adorned with gold maple leaves, and the walls are painted a deep, mesmerizing blue. It's the most photographed church in Canada, and with its dramatic lighting, it looks straight out of a historical movie set. 🕸 3:30 PM — National Gallery of Canada and the "Maman" Sculpture Cross the bridge over the Rideau Canal. Right at the gallery's entrance, you'll be greeted by a 30-foot (9-meter) bronze spider. Inside, you'll find the largest collection of paintings by Canada's "Group of Seven," Indigenous totem poles, and halls filled with European art. The glass and pink granite building itself is considered a masterpiece of modern architecture. 🔭 5:00 PM — Canadian Museum of History Take a quick, free NCC shuttle bus or a cab across the river into Quebec (Gatineau). It's the most visited museum in the country. Forget boring display cases—here you'll find massive forest dioramas, authentic Viking canoes, and a life-size recreation of a street in Old Montreal. The top floor features a panoramic cafe with the absolute best view of the Parliament complex across the water. 🌇 6:30 PM — Major's Hill Park Head back into Ontario and walk up to the park overlooking the locks. Locals flock here with blankets and coffees. It’s the ultimate spot to catch the sunset: the sun dips right behind the Parliament spires, reflecting off the glass skyscrapers downtown. 💡 Good to Know: · 📍 Starting point for your taxi/rideshare: 111 Wellington St, Parliament Hill. · 🚶 The route is entirely walkable with minimal elevation changes. You'll just need to make a quick river crossing via the Alexandra Bridge between the history museum and the rest of your stops. · ⏳ Duration: About 10–11 hours at a leisurely pace, factoring in food breaks. · 🎟 To save some cash, grab the Capital City Pass (it covers Parliament, the Gallery, the Museum of Civilization, and three other federal museums). · 📷 Must-capture shots: The Peace Tower reflecting in the National Gallery's windows, a macro shot of the carved oak in the Library of Parliament, the silhouette of the "Maman" spider against the sunset, and the panoramic skyline from the Macdonald-Cartier Bridge. Fun Fact: Ottawa became the capital purely by chance—Queen Victoria literally pointed a pencil at a map, picking a spot safely tucked away from the US border. Today, this status has gifted the capital with an insane concentration of monuments per square mile, incredibly fresh air thanks to the Greenbelt, and the unique chance to cross the border between the French-speaking and English-speaking worlds on a single walk—without ever needing a passport stamp.

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. ⛪✨

#mytripvlog There are many stairways to heaven cafe in Korea and Orda cafe in Jeju is one of them. The cafe faces the sea and is near Seongsan Ilchulbong mountain. Shades and seats are provided for customers outdoor and there also aerial view on the second floor where we sat. There are various drinks and buns sold in the cafe.

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.

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 courtyard is deep, with flying eaves and green plants, creating a full ancient atmosphere~ Inside, there’s an exhibition on Tang Xianzu’s life, artifacts related to "The Peony Pavilion," and staff occasionally hum Kunqu opera excerpts, which fascinates the kids. ✅ Practical tips: Closed on Mondays! Be sure to check opening hours in advance; free guided tours are available at fixed times, which help understand the cultural background better; the stone bridge and corridors in the courtyard are perfect for ancient-style photos—dress the kids in light colors for better shots. ▪️ Guyun Taoshe: Very close to the memorial hall, just a 10-minute walk! Take the kids to try handcrafting a wind stove, with teachers guiding step-by-step from kneading clay, shaping, to simple decoration. The whole process takes about an hour. You can choose to have your finished wind stove mailed home as a special Suichang souvenir. ✅ Practical tips: It’s best to book your experience time by phone in advance to avoid wasted trips; pottery making can get clothes dirty, so bring a change of clothes for the kids; shipping takes about 7-10 days, remember to leave your contact info. ▪️ Lunch recommendation: Local restaurants nearby are reliable! We chose a home-style eatery where handmade wontons were incredibly fresh and mild, perfect for kids who ate a big bowl each; we also ordered Suichang fried rice noodles, rich in ingredients and very authentic. ▪️ Suichang Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum: Perfect for an afternoon cultural experience with kids! The museum uses interactive installations and real exhibits to introduce Suichang’s intangible heritage like bamboo weaving, black pottery, Kunqu opera, etc. Kids can touch exhibits and scan QR codes to listen to heritage stories. ✅ Practical tips: There are free family check-in tasks inside, with small gifts upon completion; remember to turn off flash when taking photos to protect artifacts; keep the visit under 1.5 hours to maintain kids’ attention. ▪️ Guan Ju Cultural Park: Ideal to visit at dusk, the garden is stunning in the sunset! Pavilions, bridges, and flowing water create scenes like stepping into an ancient garden. ✅ Practical tips: The park is free to enter; evening light is soft and great for photos without backlight; there’s a small pond, so watch the kids closely to keep them away from the water; the park is small, a leisurely 1-hour stroll is enough, no need to rush. Day 2: Slow countryside life in the ten-thousand-mu tea sea ▪️ Leling · Ten Thousand Mu Tea Sea: This is Suichang’s hidden ace! Staying at a guesthouse on the tea mountain, waking up to the scent of tea in the morning is pure bliss~ Borrow a family bike from the guesthouse and cycle along the tea garden paths, surrounded by lush green tea trees and fresh air that makes you want to take deep breaths. ✅ Practical tips: Guesthouse bikes are limited, book in advance when checking in; some tea garden paths have gentle slopes, electric-assist bikes are recommended for young kids; wear comfortable sneakers and be sure to apply sunscreen (UV rays are strong in the tea garden). ▪️ Tea café experience: After cycling, relax at the tea café on the hilltop, order a cup of freshly brewed local tea or tea latte, which is rich and smooth, paired with snacks for a cozy time. Kids can play on the viewing platform with wide-open views of the tea sea, perfect for healing photos. ✅ Practical tips: Tea café prices are affordable, around 30+ RMB per person; the viewing platform has railings, parents just need to supervise; if you want to bring tea home, both the guesthouse and tea café sell it at better prices than souvenir shops. 💡 Overall travel tips 1. Distances between Suichang attractions are not far; self-driving is most convenient, with all drives within 30 minutes from the city center and good road conditions; 2. For family trips, stay near the tea sea guesthouses for a quiet environment and the chance to experience tea garden morning mist, which is more atmospheric than staying in town; 3. Local dishes tend to be fresh and not very spicy; ask the restaurant to reduce salt and spice in advance so kids can eat safely; 4. Mountain areas have big temperature differences between morning and night, remember to bring a light jacket for the kids to avoid catching a cold. Suichang is truly one of those places where you don’t want to leave once you arrive. It has the poetry of Jiangnan and the rustic charm of the countryside. Kids have fun, adults can relax, and on the way back, the kids kept shouting they want to come again~

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~

Visiting Lake Louise in July is the true way to experience the romance of the Rockies. The Victoria Glacier melts into turquoise-clear lake water, surrounded by colorful alpine wildflowers. Stroll along the lakeside boardwalk, with red canoes floating on the water and the century-old castle hotel offering an afternoon tea that brings a soothing atmosphere. Snow-capped mountains stretch as far as the eye can see, the mountain breeze carries the fresh scent of grass and trees, and the blend of glacier, lake, and flower fields creates the most unforgettable summer scene of the trip. Travel tips 1. Transportation and parking 1. Parking spaces by the lake fill up before sunrise during the July–August peak season. Shuttle bus reservations must be made online in advance. Self-driving vehicles can only park at outer transfer lots. Without a reservation, you cannot reach the lakeside directly. 2. The shuttle bus has a last departure time. Missing it means no return service. Mountain roads are closed from 8:00 PM to 6:00 AM and are off-limits during that time. 3. Entering Banff National Park requires a separate park pass, which is charged separately from the shuttle bus ticket. 2. Climate and clothing 1. The lake surface is at 1,600 m elevation. Daytime temperatures in July range from 15 to 22 °C, while early mornings and evenings can drop to 0–5 °C. The temperature difference between day and night is significant. Be sure to bring a shell jacket, light down jacket, and windbreaker. 2. Afternoon showers are common in the mountains. Carry rain gear and non-slip hiking shoes. The lakeside trail has many loose stones and is not suitable for sandals. 3. Boat and afternoon tea experience rules 1. Canoes are rented on-site only, no online reservations. Open from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with the last rental at 5:00 PM. The cost is 90 CAD per hour per person, payable on-site only. 2. Window seats for afternoon tea at the Fairmont Castle are recommended to be booked one month in advance during peak season. Visitors not staying at the hotel can also enter to enjoy the lake view. 3. The glacier meltwater is cold year-round. Swimming is prohibited. Only boating and sightseeing are allowed. 4. Wildlife safety 1. Black bears and grizzly bears are common in the lake area and trails. Carry bear spray when hiking. Keep at least 100 m away from all wildlife. Feeding, approaching, or getting out of your vehicle to take photos is strictly prohibited. 2. All snacks and drinks must be sealed and stored properly. Do not leave them loose in backpacks or tents to avoid attracting animals. 5. Ecological protection guidelines 1. Alpine wildflowers are protected vegetation. Picking or trampling the meadows is prohibited. Carry out all trash as there are few large trash bins in the lake area. 2. Private kayaks and paddleboards have water area restrictions. Check park water regulations in advance, as some areas prohibit private watercraft. 6. Communication and supplies Stable signal is only available in hotel areas by the lake. Signal is weak on the lakeside hiking trails. Download offline maps in advance. Prices in the lake area are high, so it is recommended to bring your own drinking water and light meals.

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.

#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
